My son graduates from high school tomorrow. That means in-laws are descending upon the house I own half of but don't live in. That means Aspiring Ex & I have been working to get it ready.
A week or two ago I promised AX that I'd pressure wash the moss & algae off the front walks. I'd forgotten about that promise until she reminded me last night. You know where this is going: I was wearing my work clothes, a little black dress - fortunately synthetic - and insubstantial leather sandals. Nevertheless, I did the pressure washing until I ran out of both daylight and power cord. Some of the moss was so thick in places that I had to use a snow shovel to remove it. Only in Seattle would one a) own a snow shovel, and b) need to use it on moss.
Naturally, one side of the house and the front lawn are now covered in chunks of algae that were recently airborne. Removal of those falls to m'boy, as does sweeping the garage. I'm tempted to meet any whining from him with a thorough pressure washing.
I have to tell myself I'm making the house more salable.
