I don't mind the routine stuff, I hate the high stuff though. My house is 2 1/2 stories and to do stuff like clean gutters and look for leaks, I need to rent a cherry picker.
Plus, just the past few years I am having trouble with mildew on the north side of my house. First 5 years no problem, then had an outbreak 3 years ago.
Washed the whole north wall with a soap & bleach mixture, killed it for 2 years, then came back this summer...

Sam, that sounds like no fun at all!

It isn't. I am waiting until the 1st of the month and I'll rent the cherry picker again. By then all the leaves will be down??? I think it was $200 + tax the last time I rented it for a half day...I'll wash the north wall again then also, hope it won't be too cold...

So far we are having a mild fall/winter.

It could be 72 and sunny all winter as far as I'm concerned....

We had that on both houses. North wall. I see it a lot everywhere these days.
Soap/bleach mix and a good brush.

Yep.....

I still don't know what is different...The 1st 5 years we lived here we had no problem???

That is a moss/mold kind of thing. It could have migrated in here.

Off work, ready for a nap. Ran into an old classmate. Dinner tonight, we have 20 years of catching up to do.

Yeah. The spores must have blown in around then. That was when OBummer was re-elected...I'll blame him.....

Trees shading that side of the house?

Very cool...Love it when that happens....

 

[SEIndSAM]

Nope, nothing...I guess the wall just doesn't get enough sun (I call it the north wall, but it really faces a hard NE. It does get some sun in the summer.)
