Well had a busy day today, first I cleaned the roof of my Redwood (been over a year since the roof had a good cleaning)
It was quite dirty so I scrubbed it with a soft brush and Simple Green, it came pretty clean but now all the crud is streaked down the outside walls.
So I went ahead and washed all the outside walls to clean the roof crud off.

Been real busy lately and have not had time to clean the inside either, so I vacuumed and mopped the Kitchen / Dining area and bathroom, got the carpet cleaner out of the cabinet and cleaned the rear bedroom and front living room carpet.
Now my home is clean from top to bottom on the outside and squeaky clean inside. 🙂

I finally got time to fly the Quad Copter (Drone) my daughter got me for Christmas, it has more features and is smarter than the last one I had (Crashed my last one that I had at the Rally last summer, one of the motors stopped working, can not fly it with 3 motors)

The new Quad Copter has a Barometer in it that allows it to maintain height and a Wi-Fi camera that sinks up with my I Phone (with free app) so now I can see real time what the camera is seeing, then just hit a button on the I Phone screen to take a picture. With the new features on the Quad Copter it is much easier to fly plus has two batteries that are easy to change.

Wow, Rob you have been busy. Looks nice and clean. Nice pic from the new drone too. It's 33 degrees here today. Rain on the way. We are still waiting for good weather to camp again. Last year we camped Easter weekend ( end of March ). Good news is the snow is gone for now, but it's Indiana and we are not finished with the white stuff yet.

Looks GREAT Rob and the only thing I noticed missing was Bale in the picture but on closer inspection that might be him in the door!
I'll have to have you give me some flying lessons at the rally since the wife bought me a copter to practice with and I went up fine and then straight down and smashed it to pieces.

LOL Steve, yep Bale is standing behind the screen door, he does not like the Quad Copter at all 🙂

This model is sure a lot easier to fly than my last one due to some of the features it has.

Rob, that really looks like a nice job.

That's on my to-do list for the spring... The roof that is, not looking forward to it..

Did you use straight up simple green, or cut it ?
