[MassHistPres] Power washing

[Lattinville, Ann @ SEC]

Hello:

Is the powerwashing proposed to be done with grit as well as water? Can
you tell us why they are making the proposal? Is it to avoid proper
preparation of the surface or is it proposed to augment scraping, etc.?

Good afternoon:

Does anyone have any thoughts on power washing an 1829 building on the
Common in our Center Village Historic District before it is painted? It
has a combination of clapboards and plank cladding.  My instinct is to
say "no," but I'd appreciate hearing the pros and cons.

Thanks.
