Cleaning the neighbor's house

 The neighboring house is in rough shape. It is a rental and not very well maintained. Years ago, someone ripped the siding off the side facing us to reveal the clapboards below. However, then never removed any nails, painted, or even cleaned the house. Since it is visible from our dining room, Kristen decided to at least go out and wash off the side of the house.

 As you can see, it was pretty dirty. She tried pulling staples and nails but was damaging the wood because it is so soft and starting to rot. It looks better now that it is cleaned off but we still bought some sheer curtains that we are going to put in the dining room to try to hide it better.
