I used to do one just like that but on the ocean, sketchy but a great job.
About 10-12 feet below the plank. About another 25 feet to the bottom of the steep hill. I just used a mop and squeegee.

Architecturally blah but this poorly maintained and minimally occupied downtown building is coming back to life with new owners and new tenants. My gym client moved into 4K SF on the lower corner and two tenants are moving in too.
Even though Alaska’s oil driven economy is tanking my hometown has enough resiliency to keep chugging and that means a lot to me.

Days like this I love, although 15mph wind makes it a bit hairy.
