 Yes, they used bleach on the siding. One runs into certain
difficulties with bleach, particularly when a hose has a leak. A
drip on the old pants leg never slowed Ernie Burnett down.
|
 Bleach on siding, water rinse on. Charlie turns the faucet
on.
|
 Place ladder on west side of church. Wash. And be careful
not to fall, Steve.
