I just visited that site and it looks great,, I'm going to have to spend some time with it tonight. A few years ago I bought this little thing called "The Internet Jukebox" It plugs into a usb at then displays a world map on your computer. You pick a country, type of station, etc. and you can listen to that station live. A well spent 20 dollars. My wife came here from Sofia, Bulgaria 10 years ago so she loves to listen to her hometown stations. My neighbor to the right of me is from Ghana so he bought one and my neighbors to the left are from Vietnam so they had to have one too. I also like to tune in the shortwave radio to see who we can listen to.

I don't know if anyone else out there knows this but there is a way to convert all Youtube (and others) videos to mp3 for your computer. I use "video2mp3.net" and it works pretty well. Gotta put up with some ads but it works well. I'm sure there are better sites out there.

I wish I had take some "before" pictures. It was in need of some attention.

Sounds similar to the one I did. Pretty easy job, just precarb and acid. Make sure your mp3 player is well stocked because it will take a while to do.

Was going to visit my sister once in Boston on my motorcycle. Bee flew in my helmet while I was getting my toll ticket and I thought I got it out. When I got to my sister's house and took off my helmet the bee came flying out.

Nice. Beautiful homes too.

Those things are great, they really are. I use a set for my roof gun but I've got to order a few sets for the regular guns. Too many times I've gotten to a job site only to find I've left my chemical tip on the kitchen table back home. Start digging through the truck and trailer looking for a spare.

I need some professional advice but the paint store is closed so I had to come here instead. Just kidding. I have a new dashboard to install in my little British Spitfire but I want to polyurethane it first. It's solid cherry wood and already stained. Should I use oil or water based and is there a brand name I should go with. Naturally the car is stored each winter but not in a heated garage, I don't know if the cold will effect the polyurethane. Any advice?

I found a few of the pictures. I'll post the others when I find them.

Gutter Gernade (F13) is all I use. This is a typical example of before/after gutters.

I get a phone call at a job site today by someone that wants a bid on their house. They are calling from work so they want me to call back with a price; no porblem. They are getting ready to sell the house and want to have it looking nice. They give me an address to an upscale housing development and I find their house. While walking around the house the "nosey neighbor" greets me and tells me they are selling the house for 560,000 dollars. It's an easy wash so I call back with a price of 375 dollars. The HO tells me he can't afford that much and could he just have "a hundred dollars worth please?" I tell him I can only do one side for that price. He tells me "That's fine, go ahead." Is that weird or what?

That's a good point, I didn't think of that. On the other hand you have people doing what one of my friends did... keep taking money against the house until it's too late. He ended up losing his house. There is no reason he needed to buy three Harley Davisons and so many other things.

I haven't done it yet. Tomorrow I have a roof about 1 mile away from that house so I'll get it then.

Thanks. It's a place called Otis about a half hour from my house. Polina and I love taking the boat there and floating around all day.

Just a precarb and acid. The customer didn't want it sealed or stained.

Another bargin on Ebay. 20 dollars for this digital moisture meter for pseudodeckers like myself. Works fine.

I picked this upon Ebay for a dollar (with ten dollars shipping). Works great for measuring 4oz (or whatever) of hd80, precarb, citric, ... any chemical you're working with.

How do you keep everything so well organized? When I come back at the end of the day my rig looks like something from Sanford and Son.

Rod, is that you in the video? I thought you knew how to use one of them there powerwash things by now.

Anything you would recommend? I don't use it at all in my powerwashing work, I just want something for use around the house and garage. I know that mixing my own is about a zillion times cheaper than buying it at an autoparts store.

That sounds about right. I'm going to try it tomorrow and use Marco's suggestion of .25 cup per gallon. Marco, if you're reading this, do the beeds have a shelf-life? This isn't a chemical I would use too often. I'm sure it would take over a year to use the beeds. I think I'll be taking you up on the offer of buying some from you. Thanks.

HD-80 is a great chemical but it wil burn you quickly. These pictures are of me several years ago when I got a mist of HD80 on my back, chest and face. A few hours after these pictures were taken the burns beacme much worse. I can't stress enough how careful you must be with this product.

Beautiful Job!

I'll give them a call too. Which picture do you mean?
