Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Personally, I'd stick with vinegar and baking soda for hardscape cleaning. The other stuff might be "user-friendly", but doesn't sound environmentally- or health-friendly.
I would bet it’s the exact same except mixed with the right proportions. So might be a lot cheaper to do it with the vinegar and baking soda. They’d probably say “a proprietary blend of special cleaning chemicals” which probably means “same stuff you can buy at the grocery store but more expensive”
Personally, I'd rather see the lesson, outside, on real hardscape in the yard, using vinegar and/or baking soda. I hate ending up with big empty plastic jugs that go to recycling but don't, in actuality, get recycled. I give this video a C. Let's do better.
You go great results. 🎉 Do you think that your products work on a wall mounted Water Fall that is dry, rusty looking with black streaks from winter rain ?
Don't you just love how they only vaguely talk about whatever product they are using, and don't say a word about where to get it, what you should get, or how much it cost.
Let me see if I have this right? Vinegar and baking soda (which I have on my shelf) cost next to nothing, are both safe to get on my skin and are "very effective". But I should go out and buy a product that costs $30. I will need gloves and goggles and the product "may contain muriatic acid" which could damage my stone. OK, I think I've got it.
TOH policy of not making recommendations about products and tools is outdated and frustrating. You actually tape over the brand of the limestone cleaner. Strange. You are experts not gods, and if you make a recommendation about a particular product, so don’t worry too much about the “impact” your recommendations may have on your viewers. People are adults and can balance your recommendations against recommendations about other products and against their own experiences. Plus, Mark is probably the best things that’s happened to this show-a true pro. DIYers like me would love to hear specific brand recommendations from someone like him. Further, the fact that you turn the bottles away from the cameras is irritating. The way you handle brand issues is also inconsistent and weird-festool and carhart are ok but other tools and brands need to be covered.
Agree a circular attachment works the best. I hold about 4” above the surface, add some water pressure to spin up, then lower while moving and full beans once contact ALWAYS moving the head to prevent swirls on wood decks. Maybe 5 times faster than just spray tip.
Can I add this to a power washer? What a about grass or other vegetation around the pavers? Is it harmful to pets? Questions I would have liked Kevin (producers) to ask.
I've been watching this show for about 20 years, seeing hosts age makes me reflect about myself, a lot!!

Mark was an excellent addition to the team. Thanks Mark. 👍🏼

I love the algae on the stone, as well as moss. Not on anything I might slip on.

If we ever colonize Mars we should totally send in the Old House crew in first. These people seem to know everything!
How do we clean the brick?
Would l put white vinegar and baking soda in a spray bottle?what would the ratio be?
You put the baking soda down first. Then pour or spray the vinegar on it. You'll see it bubble the dirt off
What are the products? Who makes them?
Play it at half speed and its like two drunk hippies
😂😂😂

Everything is in the description...lol
@@rd-ch1on UA-cam is for watching videos, not reading BS. And there are no descriptions for TV where this originally was aired.

It would have been nice if you did it outside on a patio on a large scale what about the grout between the stone

A block wall with moss on it what to use to get rid of and be plant safe?
pressure wash with water.
Sodium hypochlorite to kill moss. Pressure will remove it but SH kills it
Another great video! 👍 ☝️😁
Pressure washer will take care of it. And it’s free

@@Dirtyharry70585 I always operate my pressure washer at 95% beans just to be safe
Where are they handing out free pressure washers?
@@ProfessorOfLogic81 You mean you didn't get yours yet?
@@ProfessorOfLogic81 My thoughts exactly. And fuel too?!

2:20 played at half speed is two stoners high as a kite doing a science experiment.
And what about the plants and paint on your siding, etc. lol
Totally rekt
Spray everything with water first and after you're done. They should have explained that
You take apart your walkway and bring it upstairs to wash it piece by piece. Plants are saved.
LOL! Typical TOH, gloss right over the hard part. It's like when an outlet magically appears in a weird place because they have to plug something in.
Does Kev seem off here to anyone else?
It’s just a Monday
Yeah. Not as chipper as the other times.
Not that "hard"to do 🤣🤣🤣
Tom Silva and others on the show are top notch craftsman. Kevin.... not so much.... must be the producers son, worthless
