You should have seen how clean it got my oily hair!  8)

Squeaky clean, I expect.......maybe not as squeaky as washing with Dawn (yes, I had to thanks to an entire tube of warm moly grease plopping onto my head).

It could be worse Peg. I once had to buy a big can of GOJO, no pumice, thank you very much, to wash gasoline off most of my body. I had to replace the filler hose thingie on my van after some idiot parked his motorcycle under the gas tank. I didn't think about how it was attached halfway between the top and bottom of my gas tank. I probably didn't dump more than 15 gallons on myself, but it wouldn't wash off with soap and water.

We've got some mighty fine drifting going on in this thread.

I spent two years of high school working in a ten bay, full service Firestone garage.  Hair past my shoulders dragging under car chassis’s all afternoon, covered with grease from head to foot...

Only one bathroom for four people (there were seven but they’d move out) and only a bathtub, no shower!

One bath to degrease, get out, scrub the grease ring from the tub, fill and take another bath!  Palmolive would be the shampoo!

Four or five days a week I’d shower again at school or my gal wouldn’t get near me...

Definitely great thread drifting here.  ;D
(we do it so well, but at least it keeps the threads going. I hate stagnation).  ;D ;D ;D

Like Tim, I had hair down to nearly my belt and worked around a lot of grease, oil and carbon in an industrial facility. Being in maintenance and engineering, I was in it every day. Bathing with Lava soap (great for exfoliation,  ;) ) and Dawn was routine (but the worst was the moly mentioned above).
With hair that long and washing with Dawn, I had to stock up on conditioner.

We have to do something while waiting for Bill's stucco to dry. I figure we have at least 2 more days.

Back in the day....1966ish....I was stationed in Germany and the water in the barracks was extremely hard.  Every soap would turn to scuzz upon contact with it..no lather could be had when washing your hands or in the shower....except with Zest.  It was the only soap I found that would lather in that hard water. 

Stuck with it through the years and it worked in the couple of places I lived with hard water...still use it today.

Second thing is about liquid soap vs. bar soap.   Bar soap stays as a bar because of additives that also leave scuz on your shower door and walls and bathtub.  That is why liquid shampoo was recommended..the scuz would be left on your hair too.

Now, using a liquid bath soap will reduce your shower/bathtub clean up by a large amount.   It can also be used as a shampoo without the drawbacks....

I still use Zest, liquid now days.

So, how is that for major drift???

I salute you Major Drift. My friends use liquid soap when we go camping. My problem with it is that it takes longer to rinse off, and my hands feel a bit slimy instead of clean. That's using cold water from a barrel. Maybe it works better with hot water, I don't know. I used to take my own bar of soap until the lid broke off of my plastic soap dish that was made for camping. I looked in some stores that had camping gear but couldn't find one, so now I just use whatever liquid soap is sitting out.

Coincidentally the last soap I bought was Zest. I was using Rite-Aid soap that looked sort of like Dove before that. I had to quit using deodorant soap because it made me itchy no matter how long I stayed in the shower to rinse off. And I spend a lot of time rinsing off.

Well, to get back on track for just a minute. They finished my wall project yesterday. The guy came in the morning to paint, and the other guy came to hang the R.V gate later in the afternoon. Everything went well. It really looks nice, and gives me a lot more room to securely store things.

They poured the driveway concrete on March 10th. Job complete May 19th. Digging, permits, inspections, material deliveries, and so forth. But it's all been worth it. Now I'm done with projects. I'll probably give everything a good pressure washing next week sometime. We haven't had any measurable rain around here in months. So you can imagine things are getting pretty dusty.

Just curious Bill but does the improvement add enough value to your property to pay for the project in that area of the country?

I would say yes, in that it really gives the home much more parking and storage area, that would otherwise be pretty much useless. Especially because I only have a 2 car garage. Many people have 3 or more cars. Plus pop up campers, boats, etc. This gives secure, protected, discrete storage for all of the above.

That and the fact it didn't really cost that much. Around $2,800.00 for the additional concrete. And an another $3,300.00 for the block wall and the R.V. gate. So all total call it just north of $6K. Today that is practically nothing as far as a home improvement project. It also makes the house that much more sellable over a similar model that doesn't have it. A bit like a pool around here. Although we have no plans to move.
