Necessity is the Mother of Invention.......so they say...
We had fresh topsoil sitting on a driveway the other day, went out for lunch and got hit with a downpour. Driveway turned into a real mess with foot prints and what-not. Had a hose but no nozzle. So, we came up with the poor man's pressure washer and cleaned the driveway in about 15 minutes. How funny is that!! I guess the old thumb in the hose would've worked, but this was more fun!

i bought one of those water broom from HD a couple of years ago. it was like $40 bucks, but i thought i would give it a try. it worked really good. Especially for cleaning up topsoil off of the drives. its worth having.

Just add the tapered end to the shil leaf blower and double up the blowing power. Great idea.

Is this what you mean by waterbroom? http://www.waterbroom.com/ I've never seen them before. That does look like a must have.

no, the one we have is just a regular push broom with several water jets in front of the Brussels. its nice because it combines the hose and the broom to sweep the mud away.
