Very nice, although funny the after have leaves on trees? this time of year :wink: Estate agents trick.
No, did mine today also, perfect day for it, no pics but inside before lunch, exterior after. Looks nice again and saves on gym fees, not that I've ever succumbed.
My philosophy has always been don't expend energy without a useful result/purpose.
Sorry if this offends you but some of your posts are downright rude. Do you think leaves have been photoshopped into a picture 🔔🔚

I think he thinks the after pics are from an earlier point in the year, but the same trees are in the before pics. :rolleyes:  I could show him the exif data on my flickr app which shows the date taken, but it’s such a preposterous inference, it’s really not worth my time.

Surely he was joking?

Excuse the ignorance but what are the green "chocks" under the wheels?

They are Detail Guardz, which have little rollers on them to stop hoses and pressure hoses getting caught under wheels.  Work a treat.

Blimey you sensitive lot, it’s obviously a bloody joke.

Thought the wink and follow up enough, whatever ever happened to a bit of fun, this forum takes itself far too seriously for sure.

JC if all folks are looking for is for pat answers, forget it.

Thank you.

But.....Seriously!  If you were to come to my house tomorrow, you’ll see exactly the same trees as in the pics taken today.  :rolleyes:

I know Booth, I honestly know. It merely reminded me of Agents with houses new to market in Jan and all the foliage in lush green.
I confirm I did mine also today, 3 hours inside and out and will look crap by this time tomorrow for sure.

There’s plenty of recognisable humour and banter on this forum.  Imo your humour (if that’s what it is) doesn’t always translate, especially when it’s directed at the same target time and time again.  Easily mistaken for constant piss taking or even habitual antagonism. Emojis can be misleading, don’t rely on them to bail yourself out.   :grin:

3 hours well spent CHB. :smiley:  But, yes, they’ll both be disgustingly filfhty this time tomorrow.  Bring it on!  :laugh:
