Why can't I use a power washer and a compressor to clean my house?

[MichaelHarris]

My wife says I should use a feather duster, that's so inefficient. I told her and told her when we had the house built, the living room needs a floor drain.

[Sanity Claws]

1. Well if you really want to use that equipment

just clean the outside of the house. That'll keep you busy for a while.

[MichaelHarris]

6. If I clean outside

the neighbors will see me and want to talk not to mention the Jehova's Witnesses that scare the begeebus out of me.

[Sanity Claws]

21. You can turn the pressure washer on them

And then say, Oops!

That'll teach them a lesson

[MichaelHarris]

23. that's why I bought a 200 foot water hose

I get to chase them over a longer distance.

2. Have you seen the 1950s Popular Science film about a waterproof house?

It's hilarious. Everything in the house is designed and built to be washed with a hose.

[MichaelHarris]

4. man

that is my dream house, a house that can be hosed and squeegeed clean

[trof]

3. Call the fire department.

DO NOT use the emergency number, just the regular business number.
Tell them it's for a standard home hose-out.
They'll know what to send.
yer welcome

5. LOL

In my last house my Iguana knocked over his heat lamp and set his room on fire. When the firemen, or fire people if you prefer kicked the front door open they rolled black poly so they didn't leave foot prints. It worked out great except for the size 11 imprinted on the front door.

[trof]

7. I never heard of such thoughtful firepersons.

They always seem to be kind of axe-happy to me.

[MichaelHarris]

9. those firepersons rocked

when I got home they were finishing up with the smoldering and this whole roll of poly was layed out from the front door back. I asked the guy how they did it, he replied "teamwork, one guy kicks in the door and then the other guy steps up and rolls the poly out". My guess is the rookie gets the poly-rolling part until he becomes adept in door kicking.

11. Did your iguana make it? n/t

[MichaelHarris]

15. nawww

he didn't get burned but the smoke croaked him. He was getting pretty big also.

[Pithlet]

17. Aww

That's too bad. They're cool pets.

[MichaelHarris]

20. he was great

he had his own room and when you open the door he would run up to you and crawl up your leg and sit on your shoulder or head. He also used a cat box just like a cat, I miss him but my wife won't let me have another.

8. Makes perfect sense to me

Probably more sense than my method which is to let the dust build up for about ten years and then move. :shrug:

[MichaelHarris]

10. hahahahha

thought about it. I have the shedingnest dog known to man, he sheds like 3 dogs a day.

[skygazer]

13. That's my cat

I brush him, too, and he's shorthaired but the cat hair just takes over the place. On sunny days, you can see it hanging in the air. It's incredible.

I've wondered if I could get a spinning wheel and loom and weave blankets or something out of it.

But that sounds like more work than cleaning the damn house.... :shrug:

[MichaelHarris]

19. One time

I stuck the shop vac hosed on my dog and it actually clogged it up. Whats weird about that is a shop vac will suck up like a 2X4 and my dog had enough hair to clog it.

[Redstone]

12. Because you'll need a vaccuum the size of a truck

to suck out the dissolved Sheetrock.

You should have planned ahead and used steel-plaet panels for your walls.

16. thinking about checker plate walls

is making my man-nipples hard.

[fleabert]

14. I've never understood why bathrooms in houses aren't designed like

hotel bathrooms, they are super easy to clean.

My dream master bath has:
-a floor drain, with necessary sloping of course
-non skid foors, attractive enough to also go 1/2way up walls
-urnial
-bidet
-toilet
-separate, C or S entry standing shower with multiple heads
-jacuzzi tub with extra long hose attachement that reaches all the way to furthest corner of bathroom for rinsing walls and floors
-separate sinks, cause my husband can't rinse his stupid hairs out!
-marble separator at doorway to keep water from getting on carpet in bedroom

All I'd have to do is remove the decorations, soap the shit out of the place, and rinse it down the drain!

[MichaelHarris]

18. bathroom decorations?

like those candy soaps? I have my own bathroom and the only decoration I have is a dremel tool.

[fleabert]

22. rugs, candles, etc...

I don't want it to look like a jail cell! A fancy soap or two is nice as well. :-)

[MichaelHarris]

24. well as long

as there is a power tool catalog then I'll give in to the fancy strawberry soaps.

[fleabert]

25. you got it, but I prefer lavender, if that's okay :-)

26. Two steps

1) tile everything. EVERYTHING. Tile the walls, the floor, the ceiling. Exchange the windows for glass block. Enclose the TV in tile cabinets. Tile the couch, the end tables, the lamps, etc.

2) Get out the hose. Flood the house. Rinse.
