Here is an awning I washed last weekend - May 27th, 06, 11:28 AM

The awning was LOADED with bird crap. The birds hung out on a ledge just above the awning. The ledge was 60 ft. long and 2 ft. wide and covered in 3 inches of solid bird crap.
The sidewalk pic just doesn't do the situation justice. Now, that's a lot of bird crap!!!

Thanks Celeste! Actually, I did not know that there was so much crap up there until I actually got up there in the lift. I just said to myself, "Oh well, I'll just duck!" My wife was REALLY glad to see me come home that day!

Jarrod,
Now you need to up sell the building owner a shock system to prevent the birds from coming back.

Thanks Mike & Beth. I used E-Plus without bleach. I washed it with a chem tip. I love washing with chem tips, I feel like I'm in more control. I stripped a deck 2 weeks ago with a chem tip and it worked great.
