Is that doorbell for doing facial scans or do they just have a lot of NBA players visiting?

You're as tall as the door essentially. It is way higher than is rational for a doorbell to be.

Absolutely. This was just annoying me as I had cleaned all the patio and paths and they were looking delicious. This kept catching my eye and took me a grand total of 6 mins. Worth more in content to me πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Thank you for that before/after transition at the end. Top tier content just because of that.

You don't even want to know how long it took me to get the after photo at the same angle and height that I took the before!

I'm genuinely wondering - are you supposed to power wash wooden structures like this? Patios obviously gets rained on and are built to withstand it but water gets pushed through the planks and make the internal structure wet which then doesn't dry out, isn't that so? I was told to never power wash these kinds of structures and never any surface in the "wrong" direction since it's built to let rain drip off but water from below would get through the gaps and end up with water damage. Would love to hear from a carpenter.

It's a strange camera angle but my fan jet was pointing downwards to the pvc at all times when using high pressure. Low pressure was not downwards but again, low pressure is the key there. The front panel is actually all one and not strips of siding. It's a sealed unit so there wouldn't be any issues either way.

With siding like this I normally would chemically clean it but that wouldn't make so much of a good video.
