That tends to help the engine start quicker. :)

Thanks, I'm glad somebody enjoyed it.

Yup, last week getting the plows in order. I really hate plowing snow but the money is great. Sitting in that truck for 18 hours is awful.

I pay 2 dollars and change per gallon for 15 percent here in Massachusetts. I know some people get it for less than that.

Have you ever seen those little shower kits from Home Depot? It's just four flimsy plastic walls and a shower floor. I saw one being thrown out in the trash and now I use those flimsy walls for doing decks. They are thin enough so it slips right between the deck and siding of the house and they are pretty long, about 86 inches or so. Hope this helps.

36 degrees this morning. Too cold to do roofs.

Once while stripping a deck with mild HD80 I got some on the siding where someone had gotten stain on. It took it right off. It didn't seem to harm the siding but I wont swear to it.

Water?

Why do people bother trying to do the job when they have no experience? I was able to get most of these marks out today but not all of them.

Okay, any time I can help. I'd like to talk more but my wife just made stuffed peppers and I've got to sample that. She knows my weakness. See ya.

He can't get too large if he's only pushing 4 gmp or so. The machine can't keep up. I wouldn't go larger than a 20 inch. Somewhere I saw a formula about the size and gpm but I've forgotten where that was. I'm sure he can google the key words and find it.

The customer wasn't too happy with the price I gave them when I bid the job but they were very happy when I finished the job. Just one more example between the hacks and the rest of us. I'm sure this will be another life-long customer as well as their friends that they tell about me.

"Wand Art" That cracks me up. It's kind of though to blend it back but I just turn up the pressure a bit higher and keep going over the damaged spots with my fingers and toes crossed. Sometimes you get lucky. Wax may help too.

Hi Mike, good talking with you the other night but I lost the connection. I've done a million of these concrete pool areas. Don't do it without a surface cleaner, it will come out awful. Let the customer know that some dirt will get into the pool when you do the edges but there isn't much that can be done about it. Also find where the wash water will "pool" up on the concrete (the low spots) and do those areas first. If you save those areas for last your surface will be trying to blast through several inches of water just to get to the concrete. It will not be as clean as the rest of the concrete. Hope this helps. PS I've seen some pretty good deals on ebay for surface cleaners. Just be sure you don't buy some unknown brand.

I think so, the wife on the other hand isn't too happy about an antique radio in every room of the house. I'll post some pictures soon.

I restore antique radios from the 30s and 40s. Lots of fun. Really, it something to do in the winter,

Were closing up here in Massachusetts too. Got a few more to do before we call it quits and get ready for snowplowing. However I did get a call this morning for a real big roof job. Maybe just one more. Turned on the house heat this morning for the first time this year. 59 degrees is too cold to wake up to.

What does +1 mean?

That always seems to happen.

There are several near my house and I have looked inside a few times. Way too over priced for me. Really, for a few bucks more you could buy new.

Those are tough. I try to stay away from aluminum too.

Dreamboat Annie... Heart. Actually I'm listening to the whole CD.

I guess it depends on the area. I've been around for many years and have never had a site. Still don't and the phone doesn't stop ringing.

Envy!
