Cleaning the P1G

[Jim Lampe]

...as in P1Gvilion.
instead of renting, or borrowing the neighbors, I decided to purchase my own gas powered pressure washer...
This thing is Great! And Quiet!! Simpson 2800 PSI with a Honda GCV160 4-Stroke engine.

This P1G is a pig! Amazing what all that smoke does to the interior roof...
So, we're cleaning it top to bottom.
Once the sides and floor are washed and dried, a coat or two of new sealer will be applied.
And this weekend's weather forecast is perfect for this job... very warm, humid air...
who's gonna care if you get a little wet, right?

Here are just a few photos BEFORE starting...

The interior roof and rafters are nearly completed...
here are a couple photos after washing....

ok, beer break over... back to work.

Looking good!
you saving the cedar accented liquid smoke?

I bought a gas PW a few years back, more kickass than the electric ones, and no cord to drag around.

well.... you really can not see the difference in this photo...
"in person" it looks much better.

When we had our big motor home I bought a craftsman with a Honda engine. Sure beat hand washing that monster and that Honda was quiet and ran like a watch. Looks like the one you bought is doing a great job.

I'm sure it'll be re-seasoned in no time at all

The P1G is looking good. Love your place Jim (except maybe in the winter)

it's getting near the end of the washing... just the floor to go.

Looks good, I use my pressure washer on my privacy fence and used it on the deck of a house we lived. A pressure washer is a must for a homeowner in my opinion.

It can also make old concrete look like new. When my son was young he wrote his name in the old sidewalk in front of the house.
The electric powered ones don't seem to last nearly as long.
