Firstly, Tony washed down the driveway, which did have some oil spills on it...must say the footpath and crossover are frightening how white they have come up.
Next, we used it to wash down the Spa Gazebo, after we decided to remove the windows and the bar from it...looks sooooo much better..Tony also jacked up one corner of the gazebo and straightened it...the installer had for some reason installed one corner lower than the others.
The next day i used the washer to clean the slab around the spa...professionally laid slab and it is not level...it has hollows and dips in it, and with the revolting weather we've had here it went slimy where the water was pooling...yuk!
Then today we cleaned down the alfresco area with the washer...6 months of 6 dogs on it had turned it brown..with all the mud they tracked onto it.
For the last two days i have been re-varnishing the gazebo, now its had 3 coats and looks a heap better, today i also started doing the steps and the bar stools, they will need a few more coats yet.
We also finally planted out the garden in the corner of the back yard with a Celtic Cascade and some Lavenders..now to put some type of topping on it ...more than likely it will be the crushed terracotta to match the front as we have a small amount left over....around this we put one of the dog fences, hopefully this will keep Nikki out of the garden and give it time to establish itself.

In this one you can see how dirty the concrete is..
