Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Madhan
I went a bit early to Mr.L's house as the mission has a connection with sunset. As it is Friday Mr.L is taking a sabbath, so he can't accept help after the sun is set. Today's weather report read sunny and hot with no chance of clouds.
Mr.L was expecting a woman to show up, as a previous Goodgymer was one. I explained how GoodGym works and then he understood why I came this time.
The first task was to chop off the plants that were growing near the walls. It doesn't take much time to chop the leaves off using the shear. Mr.L only have a black bin bag, so I had to chop the leaves into tiny pieces to put them inside the bag
The previous Goodgymer already cleared some weeds and brambles and they piled up and covered the entire patio. Mr.L asked me to bag them. There were quite a lot of spiky plants which not only went through my gloves but managed to torn my glove. It felt like bagging a pile of needles. I had to be super careful.
I then took a brush and started sweeping the patio, so much soil came off and I can finally see the color of the patio tiles.
Mr.L also wanted to clean the windows if possible. So I gave the windows a nice clean with window cleaner and a rag.
When I was about to leave, Mr.L asked if I can give the windows in front of the house a deep clean as well. The front side windows needed a 10ft Goodgymer. But Mr.L had a ladder which made it easier for the shorter Goodgymers as well.
