Redneck Power Brush

This project came about because the house was starting to look like a vampires nest with all the dirt and spider webs everywhere and I would like to start painting the place.
Trouble is those spiders web are really difficult to get off and using a pressure washer just seem to spread them around, and a brush didn't help much either. I did find however if I spun the brush it seem to work quite well flicking off the dirt and winding the spider webs onto the brush, only one thing for it then,  put a motor on the brush!
The 2 photos are the before and after 30 seconds with the RedNeck Power Bush.

As this instructable is entered in the redneck contest there are references to Hillbilly's, Bogens and rednecks.

Most photos have notes attached

For this project your going to need

• whipper sniper, bush cutter, weed eater or weed whacker boom. (heavy duty Rednecks will also need the engine)

You don't have to put it in production, just patent the idea and then sell it to black and decker/ dremel/ stihl/ husqvarna....

Great! I have an old weedwhacker that needs a new life and this will soon be it. I an thinking about adding a high pressure water nozzle secured to the head...whatya think?
THIS is a great replacement for a crap steam mop....:)

My wife is going to kill me if i keep doing all these projects...but things will be clean!

Thanks poorchef
I find the power brush a little heavy, but apart from that adding a water nozzle is a great idea. I also find that the straight boom can be awkward to use in some places, its great for corners but hard to use on flat surfaces like ceilings, maybe i should make another with a curved boom.
