After pressure washing an old patio table, we repaired a loose leg using glue, scrap wood, and a more careful approach than the quick fixes I had tried before.
Putting It to the Test
After renting a pressure washer the week before, we knew the property needed one of its own. A Facebook Marketplace find was put to the test almost immediately while clearing years of sediment from the drainage canals.
Washing Things Back to Themselves
This week at the retreat center, a day of pressure washing became a meditation on buildup, restoration, and the simple care of helping things look like themselves again.
What Holds the Edge
This week at the retreat center, building a retaining wall near the pond became a meditation on support, structure, and the quiet work that keeps things from washing away.
The Shade We Had to Remove
This week at the retreat center, pruning trees in the heat became a meditation on shade, weight, and the difficult kind of care that makes space before something breaks.
