Well, I started wiping one leaf at a time with mild soapy water and I guess because the tree has been close to a gas fireplace for ten years (and I never watered it) it is brittle and some of the leaves broke off. So I emailed the stager and told her I was just going to wash them down on the back deck with the hose on sprayer (the wouldn’t survive pressure washer lol) and if they make it, they make it. So I gave them each a good spraying and more leaves dropped from the one that was by the fireplace. The other one held onto its leaves.....must not be a deciduous tree lol.
So the house is completely upside down. Most furniture going into the garage. Downstairs is completely white.....like living in a fridge. Upstairs will be white next week. New carpeting going into two rooms, the rest is hardwood. Mike is pouring concrete on the driveway next week, Natalie is continuing to clean up the yard. Dirt is next, then sod, then nice black mulch around the trees, etc.
I’m not going to want to leave here now that some work has been done and it is looking so nice! Kidding....looking forward to living on the farm, except for that stupid rooster.
I’m glad you’re getting help. I had bought a beautiful rooster for my dad’s hens once. He was alright until my dad killed a few of his hens. Then it took two to gather eggs, one to keep the rooster busy while the other got the eggs.
Wow, a deciduous plastic tree, who knew? LOL!
Looks likke the car wash idea is out then for those trees.
Every time we’ve spiffed up a ho use to sell, i was sorry we didn’t do it years before - for us!
I just found something I had bought for a friend that I had tucked away in my mess of a house.
Receipt was still in there...February 2020!!
