  1. Show Off Your Jack o' Lantern

    My pumpkin drank too much and puked all over the stove.
  2. I hear that! Burned a hole in my middle finger with HD80 a few months ago, right to the bone. No joke. I'm looking at it right now as I type this and it's still infected. Sucks on that hand because I had a "mishap" that sent three of the fingures onto the TOP of my hand and the "pinky" finger at a 90 degree angle to the side. I actually saw the bones in my fingers and the ligements come out. Totally nasty. Today the fingers are in a constant bend but I guess it could have been worse. Years ago I caught a cable in the neck on my snowmobile, very nasty. I'll always have scars under my chin and nightmares about the hospital but I'm alive. Sold the sleds after I got married and had a baby.
  3. Is 3000psi 2.7 gpm enough?

    Hi Jake The machine is going to be too small for what you want but you've heard that already. Not only that but consider the quality of the pump attached to the unit. These small pumps will not hold up to the kind of work we do. It has to run it the hot sun for hours on end, six days a week. The "Home Depot" machines will never stand up to this kind of labor. You'll blow that pump in a day. You don't have to spend a fortune to buy a decent machine but never go cheap. Do research into a good pump and good engine. Spend a little more than you were expecting and you'll be fine. I started with a little 11 hp Honda and a Cat pump 16 years ago. I now have 3 more superior machines, new truck and several trailers but I still have the old powerwasher I started the business with. Aside from replacing the unloader 3 years ago it still runs fine.
  4. You would think they would clean it up a bit before the picture was taken.
  5. I bought what's called the "Gutter Dog" for my house several months ago. Same thing as the Gutter Brush. I bought them for a dollar a foot at AMazon and they work great! No more cleaning out my gutters. I ordered another set for a customer but they went up to almost 3 dollars a foot two days later. She still had me order them and install them. I know this will kill repeat gutter cleaning in the future but it makes the customer happy, I'll always have repeat powerwashing business from the customers, and I"m not so much of a fan of cleaning gutters anyways. Too cold. In fact they're calling for a little snow tonight.
  6. Florida wild pigs

    Do you have to wash them? :)
  7. Extension Wand

    I'd give you mine but I cut it up with a chainsaw (so it would fit in the trashcan) after I used an X-Jet for the first time.
  8. The ant and the grasshopper

    Well done.
  9. Do you plow snow?

    Yup, I plow in the winter. In fact I just shut down powerwashing for the year (but I still gotta do mom's house. Been telling her I'd do it for two years now). Truck and plow goes to the shop next week to get ready for those -10 degree snowing nights.
  10. Obama plans to raise taxes both personal and corp?

    Enough with the red ink and smiley faces. Makes it hard to read.
  11. ?,s about pressure pro machines

    Honda General.
  12. Say NO to Gays!

    Going to Hell? I thought you said you got married. Man, you are so there already. :) Just kidding, I enjoy being married myself.
  13. Virtual Election '08

    Because of Obama my son will grow up to be the greatest powerwasher of the northern hemisphere. Ha, my wife wants him to be a doctor like her mother was and her father is but I know better.
  14. Funny Plate

    I thought it was a hoot.
  15. Obama video

    A bunch of BS? It's the truth. Do you think someone edited these videos just to make him look bad? That Washington Post article seemed to focus on his love life, not with his agenda. What could I expect, it is the Washington Post, super liberal.
  16. Obama video

    Great video! Just more proof why I would NEVER vote for him. Rev. Rick2
  17. Free alarm system.

    I’ve noticed these little boxes inside ATMs where you can fill out a form and put it in the box for your chance to win a FREE! Home alarm system. I look at the form and some of the information required were: 1) Your address 2) Home phone, 3) Work phone, and 4) Work hours, in case they had to reach you there. Does this sound crazy to anyone? First of all anyone trying to win a FREE! Home alarm system probably doesn’t have one to begin with. Next they just wrote the address of the house without an alarm. If that isn’t enough they just wrote down the times they won’t be home.
  18. Free alarm system.

    No, I didn't win the alarm. I'm still waiting for that call while I'm at work.
  19. Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis?

    When I took a construction loan to build my house the bank pushed so hard for me to take a 30 year loan. They even told me I might not be able to make the payments on a 15 year loan. I forgot what the difference in payback would have been but it was huge.
  20. Logan Airport Whahh Hoooo

    Just brought the wife to the airport so she can see the family in Bulgaria (Eastern Eurpoe) for two weeks! Two weeks with the doggie and me! Party Time! I'm Lovin' it.
  21. Logan Airport Whahh Hoooo

    Wendesday night. 70s music is on and I'm getting a cold one. Just finished PW a big deck. Let the good times roll!
  22. Logan Airport Whahh Hoooo

    You make beer can chicken? That is so awsome. My brother makes it too. Love that stuff.
  23. Logan Airport Whahh Hoooo

    No, not too many here. I spent several summers in that area of the world. The worst was in Bosina during their civil war. I had my hotel blown to bits and snippers shooting at the survivors (me) trying their best to put a bullit through my head. I guess they were not a very good shot. To make a long story short I met Polina (my wife) from a Jeapordy question. I had come home from power washing one night and happened to turn on the TV to that show. The question was the capital of Bulgaria. That's a placee I've never goen to yet A year later I was married to a very pretty Bulgarian girl. Don't get me wrong, I really loved being single, I mean really loved it. But I knew I would never forgive myself if I didn't marry this girl. A great girl but I do need my time alone too.
  24. Logan Airport Whahh Hoooo

    Oh, It's just awful. Got the 70s music blasting and a cold one in my hand. It's just awful.
