More Scrubbin'

One thing that has persistently annoyed me since I bought the house back in November was the state of the shed. The first thing you see when you pull all the way up into the driveway is the front face (north side) of the shed. It was covered in algae, moss, dirt, and lichens.
The ramp was slick with moss until I pealed it off with the snow shovel at some point over the winter.

The roof needs to be replaced too. Leaks like a sieve on the south side. One thing at a time.

Since it's been raining for days, and feel like it's going to keep raining for another week, I decided it was time to tackle it last night. It was wet anyway, so all the debris was loose. After walking across the parking lot to my car I was soaked anyway. I got out my big blue bucket, the Dawn dish washing soap, a scrub brush on a stick and went at it. It took me about an hour, and it's not perfect (I needed a smaller brush to get in the cracks) but it's so much better.

Not photo-shopped!

I need to do something about the door. All the crazy metal flashing is pealing off around the edges and the handle is... awkward (and not easily lockable.) It's getting hung up on the ramp, freezes to it's own sill in the winter (so you can't open the door). Maybe I'll just peal all the flashing and siding off and replace it with painted wood paneling and a normal shed latch. I should also maybe put one of those V water diverters on a new roof to keep moisture away from the door.
But! At least it's clean now.
