BIG Ipe project
Keth replied to RogerG's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Great job Roger. Sorry I didn't get to visit you guys on the job today. Hoping to sneak away tomorrow to come see you. Keep up the great work! -
again :) Surfactant question. :) How about "Emulsifier Plus" from Espec?
Keth replied to POWERMEN INC's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Thanks Paul. The stuff you sent has been working fantastic. I love Emulisifier Plus. -

Keth replied to POWERMEN INC's question in Residential Pressure Washing
You have to tell us where you are getting it for $44 though! C'mon, spill the beans! Oops, just saw that you said it was an email special at Espec. I didn't get that email. The best price they sent me was $54. You must be special. -

Ok, are you going to keep us in suspense? I have a ton of EPlus in stock which I really like. Filled the shelves with it on sale. If you have something better or cheaper please let us know what it is. :lgmoneyey -

EPlus is a complete housewash mix that contains surfacants. Other than bleach you won't need a thing. Where are you getting it for $44????? -
I pay $116 for a 55er of 12-15% SH delivered to my garage.
-
It can be either Kory. If they come off with a good douse of Housewash mix and mild pressure then it is spider crap. If you need a stick of dynamite to get it off then it might be artillery fungus.

I have the mid-sized Little Giant (22'??) and love it but dont have a stabilizer for it. I am thinking of putting a 24 Werner with stabilizer on the trailer instead. The Little Giant is the best ladder made but man it is heavy. I think mine weighs over 50 pounds. At the end of the dayI think I will not be as tired with a 24 Werner.

I need a new leafblower - recommendations?
Keth replied to PressurePros's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Echo PB-603 is what I have used for years. More than enough power for gutters and deck blow offs. In some cases it is too strong and you have to be careful. Will rip mud and junk out of gutters with ease. -
Are you sure it was rust and not a battery acid stain?

Actually death and life sentences in Iraq are appealable so it may take a bit longer than you think. If convicted after a second trial in appelate court then the President has to sign a decree to actually make it happen. Considering the fact that Iraq is mired in a civil war right now the sectarian violence that would erupt should he be hanged would probably cause this process to slow down and let him rot in jail for awhile until things appear to be calming down. The fact that the verdict is read two days before our mid-term elections smacks of US Executive Branch "pressure". He is in jail which is a good thing at least.

I pay about $110 for a 55er of 12%-14% SH. That is delivered. The guy brings it in a pickup truck with a lift gate, rolls it into my garage and takes the empty one away. They also deliver the same day most of the time if I call them in the morning. I also have to fight the guy to not switch the pump for me. :seeya:They are great on customer service and I am very happy.

Lance Question in Regards to Downstreaming
Keth replied to Buckeye's question in Residential Pressure Washing
If I could rinse with my 4040 tip all the time I would but time restraints have me putting in a 25110 tip for rinsing when I am not near the trailer. Putting in a higher pressure tip just seems to reduce the flow too much and rinsing takes longer than it should. I will lay chem on a house side and, if it isnt the sunny side, will stroll back to the trailer and close the injector. Better, faster rinsing and low pressure. I am working on something to do this remotely and will post when I am done. Unless I am cramped for space I use a 79" aluminum wand for walls and have a new short 12 inch gun that I use for decks, screen porches and railings. -
Welcome back King. Glad to hear things are going well and sorry we didn't hook up last weekend. Once you are settled a bit more we should get dinner. Keep a close on the post partum stuff. It can hide so deep that it is hard to see how bad it is and getting to talk about it openly in front of a qualified professional is suggested. Sounds like biz is rockin! Keep up the good work.

Wow, that is a real stretch. Think if you could find a connection between Haggard and Foley being part of some super secret liberal underground setting up decades of secret plans and you would have a documentary that may win an Academy Award. Haggard has spent decades building his church. I doubt, if he were a true liberal in disguise, that he would wait so long to "spring the trap". He confessed to "immoral sexual acts" in a letter to his church followers this morning. I can't see where this helps liberals in any way or gets his flock to stop voting for conservatives.

Have never tried the Limonene but the Emulsifier Plus from EnviroSpec is very good.

Let me clarify my position. I mistakenly voted for GW Bush. My best friend's son died in Iraq. He was like a son to me. Until you see someone hand a mother the flag from the coffin of their dead son you will never know the pain we have felt. George Bush has decimated this countries reputation by invading a soveriegn nation that had no connection to 9/11, had destroyed one of the greatest freedoms we enjoyed by eliminating habeus corpsus, has reduced your freedom with the Patriot Act and continues to think he understands tribal cultures and how they would react to an invasion of their home soil. Our policy in the Middle East has been flawed for 50 years, Democrats and Republicans alike, and it is time to find leaders who realize why they hate us so much and turn the tide. Those of you who have never traveled to a Muslim country go on with your misguided hatred. Killing 300,000 Iraqis, many of who were women and children is never going to be the answer. Open your mind and realize that we voted for the worst president to have ever been elected to office. The United States should hang it's head in shame for allowing this to happen.
-
He apologized to military personnel if he comments were misinterpreted. I, personally, think that getting 3000 of our military killed for a lie is a worse crime than being misquoted.
-
Yeah, Kerry's comment was almost as stupid as these.... President Bush: "Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?" Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times: "I can take them off." Bush: "I'm interested in the shade look, seriously." Wallsten: "All right, I'll keep it, then." Bush: "For the viewers, there's no sun." Wallsten: "I guess it depends on your perspective." Bush: "Touche. --an exchange with legally blind reporter Peter Wallsten, to whom Bush later apologized, Washington, D.C., June 14, 2006 "You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." --George W.

You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them." Source: Interview of the President by TVP, Poland, White House (5/29/2003).

That is one nice trailer. Fill er up and get it on the job!
-
Not exactly sure what you need but here is the hose from the chem tank connected to the downstream injector just before the reel swivel.
-
I premix what I think I will need for a job and put a little extra in. I can usually estimate within a couple of gallons so I don't have to worry. Most typical houses are 7-9 gallons so I will put 5 gallons of SH and 5 of housewash detergent. Since my trailer is stored indoors I don't worry about the UV problems and if I know it is going to be sitting in the driveway for a few hours before a job I just throw a moving blanket over it. It has about 20 gallons in that picture as I was about to do two houses that day which for me is rare since I usually try to only schedule one a day but they were next door to each other. I also have a 5 gallon jug that I always throw in the truck bed. This is usually a heavy duty Wando Bomb mix that I can x-jet. Usually contains about 8 ounces of Potassium Hydroxide, 12% SH and housewash mix. On a house that hasn't been cleaned in awhile one side is usually real green and I hit it with the Bomb to save me having to downstream it two or maybe three times. It has saved me a couple of times when I underestimated the amount to put in the 35 gallon tank.
-
That tank looks like it is meant to be standing in a garage and not on a trailer. Imagine the torque of a full tank as you go around corners with the weight up so high. That would scare me. Here is my chem tank, plumbed with a three way valve. Turn it one way and the injector gets the housewash mix, turn it the other way and it sucks fresh water from the big tank to flush and rinse the injector at the end of the job. No messy hoses to deal with at all.

what is the easiest way to change the high presure pump oil, mine is not that accesible and looking for some time saving tips. Thanks.
