Even with all the diagnostics that today's cars have, dealing with the mechanics was difficult. The trick is to find one you can really trust (ditto for plumbers and contractors).

When I got my divorce in 1982, I had to learn to do many things which I had never done.. BUT--it all works out, with God's help. <br /><br />I hope you can get the van fixed at a reasonable cost. The home upkeep is huge.. Hope you can continue doing it. God Bless.<br /><br />Love the arbor.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-3570509689070490142013-05-13T08:54:42.113-04:002013-05-13T08:54:42.113-04:00Forgot to say on my house washing post someone pos...Forgot to say on my house washing post someone posted about an excellent product called Wet and Forget.

I think pressure washers are rather damaging and the water can get in so many places you don't need or want it. Good luck. tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-45286213706252688162013-05-13T01:36:47.167-04:002013-05-13T01:36:47.167-04:00Good to see you are still plugging along. :) I hop...Good to see you are still plugging along. :) I hope you can figure out your car problem.

Last time I washed walls outside I used " Sugar of Soap" not sugar, but I think washing soda and liquid dish wash and maybe white vinegar, home -made. In US, you can buy a product called So Safe Paint Saint, I guess brush it on and rinse off.Easier than water blasting.Do you have high walls? That would be harder than a one level house.
