I never really think about unloaders much, just crank them up when doing surface work then return the setting when finished. Well, one of my machines started acting up yesterday. First it started making that sound when there isn't enough supply water getting to the pump. Then it started blowing a thin stream of water through the middle of the unloader valve knob. Weird eh? I don't know what kind of unloader it is, it just says "Made in Italy" and it's on a cold water General 30/40.
I imagine it's time for a new unloader but is one really better than the others? Also, how do you set up the new unloader after it's been installed? I know there are some type of adjustments for a new unloader but I have never done it before.

So there I was, on top of the house ready to spray down the SH on my last roof of the day when I saw it, laying right there on the roof. A big dog poop. I think it may have been from a dog. How it the world did it get up there? I've found many things on roofs before but never that.

I did mine on a Whirl Away many years ago. The ones that come from the factory were junk, rusted apart after a year or two. Finding the right wheels was a bit of a pain, something that will not rust, but it's been fine since that.

Yup, they are Robins. About a week ago I put a webcam above the nest. Now I have videos of the parents feeding the babies. When I came home from work today I checked the nest and they are gone. All grown up and flew away. My little 5 year old was pretty upset of his birds leaving but i assured him they will be back next year. I'm sure we have all run into the situation where the homeowner wants to wait until the baby birds have grown before washing the house. Several times I have seen them build a nest on the front door of the house on some sort of reef or something. Cracks me up.

Every year at this time I get these cute chicks "hanging" around my front porch. The wife doesn't mind at all. Mamma bird builds her nest in the same hanging plant every year.

Careful on the paint removed from the building, might fall into the hazmat area. You might responsible to get rid of it.

Soda Blasting. In fact this month's Cleaner Times did a large article about soda blasting.

Is there a reason one is for cleaning and one for staining or is just to keep one machine cleaner than the other. If there is a difference which would you recommend for cleaning? Staining isn't really my field and I would rather leave that to someone who knows what they're doing.

I normally don't do many decks as a rule but have been getting more requests than usual so far this year.
When I do clean them I apply the base and acid through a pump sprayer and never stain them, just clean.
I have really been thinking about buying a Deckster and have been doing my research but I have a few questions I'm confused about. What's the difference between a Deckster and a Decker or is this just a typo on the poster behalf? What's the difference in a "5er" I see sometimes see added with the Decker or Deckster? I assume it means a 5 gallon bucket. Finally, what can't be run through the pumps without destroying it? Any other feedback will be wlecomed. Thanks!

Is that a poisonous spider? Gives me the creeps lolI don't know. Gave me quite the scare until I blasted it with the water.

Well, this is my nice new truck last week. Doesn't quite look the same tonight.

A common problem when I lived in Japan were the spiders in the apartments. They were huge but harmless. At night while trying to sleep you could hear them running on the rice-paper interior doors. Used to freak me out but you get over it after a while. The bugs are just huge over there.

We try not to kill them when cleaning roofs, they eat mosquitosYou never had a problem with them trying to eat you?

Years ago I had to walk off a job because of the amount (and size)of the spiders on the house. I told the HO to have an exterminator get rid of the spiders and I'll return. She never called me back and that was just fine with me.

Yup, after I got done screaming I blasted it with the powerwasher.

Congrats man! Yes they grow up way to fast, seems like last year that my son was born, but he will be 5 this year. Man time goes by so fast...Man, that's the truth. Ours just turnes five too and it seems like we just took him home from the hospital yesterday.

My life has forever changed!! That's an understatement. Congratulations!

Try to clear out the jets. It's not getting any fuel through them.

Just look in your Yellow Pages under "Chemicals."

I forgot it had the tow/haul switch on it, that made a huge difference today. I don't really want to see the milage but it did make a big difference. I never used it on the last truck because it never worked for the 10 years I owned it.

I ended up buying the F-250. It's a pretty nice truck with a million options I didn't think I'd want but now I'm happy it came with. It's listed as 300hp like my last truck but my last one seems to have a lot more power. I can tell when I'm towing the powerwash trailer. I haven't towed the boat yet and it's a lot heavier than the trailer.

Close, it's a 1975 Triumph. Lots of fun in the summer when I have time to use it. In fact I still haven't taken it out of storage from the winter. At least it's sitting in a nice dry area by itself. What kind of Fiat did you have? My brother Tim had an X/19. We used to say it stood for Fix It Again Timmy. The original joke was with a name of Tony for Italy.

Any reason why it's blowing water through the top of the valve? It looks kind of funny, like a whale.
