An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I inherited an electric one from my FIL. This is very satisfying.

Protip: Spray with something to kill the mildew and let it rest a bit before washing off.

Thanks for the tip. Yep I’ll probably get something this weekend. I was just seeing if the inherited pressure washer was gonna work.

We actually paid someone to come do this for our house, because I don't have the ability to get way up high on the second floor, for any of the spraying steps. I wanna say it was $350. We have a white house, with bushes in the front, so the filth really gathers quickly and shows up well (as you are aware).

If I didn’t have to buy a new riding lawn mower I’d probably pay to have this done. I’m not great with heights.

The walls not ever really in the sun (like this one) were the worst.
