I bought a used Troy Built 3000PSI on Graiglist for $200 (http://www.troybilt-gen-pw.com/pressure_washers/model.cfm?id=425), this was the best thing I bought this last year. Use the wide nosle for more delicate stuff but it works great even to remove some of the old bottom paint. Just adjust the distance or change the nozzle to avoid damaging wood or softer materials. DON"T buy an electric one, they are not worth it, I would suggest 3000 PSI minimum. There are quite a few new and used an e bay as well.

I've been told the black residue that collects on our decks is from the spiders. A good brush with a long handle and Soft Scrub does a good job but is very labor intensive for us old geezers to say nothing of the back pain so I was wondering if the use of a power washer is recommended to remove that annoying black stuff, and if so which ones do the members use? What size is adequate without being expensive overkill? Bugged in Oklahoma....... Change your thinking, change your life. We are guided, we are guarded, we are healed, we are blessed.....
