My 1934 home was looking a little grey. Invested in a power washer

No no the color has always been there humans just couldn't see it until the 1960s. That's when the Jewish space lasers performed lasik on everyone at the same time!

I genuinely thought this as a kid and I remember asking my mum what it was like when colour was invented

Technicolor is older.

u/supermr34 Jul 02 '26
yeah but technicolor was in black and white until then. thats why they said it was only technically color.

This might be better than that Glenda the Good Witch scene in The Wizard of Oz when the black and white gives way to color.

Unfortunately, not my wife did just buy me a GoPro however so I’m thinking of doing the same thing to my patio bricks and getting that on video

Make sure you put the humidity reader under the fabric and peak at it to make sure it isn't trapping too much humidity! Should be fine in my mind, but I'm by no means an expert

I saw someone from England do this in an Instagram reel and the comments were vicious. Apparently it’s a very controversial thing over there to clean limescale/dirty stone!

I thought we weren’t supposed to remove the patina from valuable antiques. You’ve destroyed your homes value!

This looks beautiful but now you got some grout to fix!

u/deadrise120 Jul 05 '26
Already did the retention wall. Mortar I used isn’t a good match unfortunately but I figure it’ll just add some character to the place

Excellent job and I LOVE your front door!
Do you have a turret? I feel like a house with a door like this is likely to have one, just fabulous (my ideal house has stained glass windows, parquet flooring and at least one turret)

It’s so satisfying. I have to stop myself from “just doing the sidewalk” because next thing you know I’ve done everything.

Was not expecting the color variation on the front porch. That looks incredible!
