Oil of cloves

The exterior of the house is beginning to get a make over.

This is what it used to look like.

Then we cleaned up a bit.

Now we have a new roof, and the tree fern has been dug out and transplanted.
The tree fern was actually 4 trunks planted together, and a chainsaw was used to trim them down!
The hydrangeas have also been transplanted, and the old hot water service is ready to be recycled.

The vinyl cladding (which will eventually be removed) has mould on it.
This photo shows the ease at which it can be removed.
The solution is "Oil of Cloves".
1 teaspoon in 4 litres water, and the mould just washes straight off.
Leave it to dry, and then brush off any residue.
Thank you Shannon Lush !!

  1. Hooray - outside work! Getting to attack a bit of the outside jobs must be very pleasing after all the interior magic that you have been doing. Lookig forward to warmer Spring weather to make the chores easier to do.
