Special message for her on the water cooler happy birthday beth!

How long ago was it done? I have no idea about ipe but I tried to brush out a second coat of woodtux on a set of stair I did on pressure treated to see how it would look and the tux didn't penetrate, just got shiny if I didnt wipe it

Rick could you explain this off gassing thing? How does it affect the use of a shurflo type pump?

Looks nice but they had to import that? Dont yall have playsets over there?

Honestly I would just get a big 12 month planner book and write in what needs to be done each day. Use different color highlighters for jobs that span more than one day. You write the job in on the day it starts then highlight it with yellow and highlight a line to the day the job ends. If there is more htan one project overlapping you use different colors. So if I day has 3 different color lines going through it, you know that you have three jobs in progress for that day

You can also use the big ben trays for large rollers. The pad fits perfectly in there and you can use the ribs on the tray to wipe off excess stain

Shane is particularly fond of the padcos color

Rod, my wood tux brochures show "natural patina" on the back as a color choice.

My understanding is that clear sealant will simply prevent mold and mildew and water but I believe the pigment is what provides the uv protection in a stain

Customer wasn't a huge fan of the color in my honey gold pictures I mentioned that the brown sugar color is available and although I haven't done any jobs with it that I would try and get some photos to show them Anyone have some decks they would be willing to post pictures of or send to me? email is charlie@apexdecksavers.com These are not for advertising use by me or to be used for any means other than showing the color to a customer who has already signed on. Full credit will be given to the companies who performed the work So yea brown sugar pics would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Id clean the gutters on a 6x10 shed for 20 bucks haha surprising to see he has insurance

Ken do you tint every batch to your own color?

Personally I love the honey gold the best. But seems like every other person is a chore to convince them to use it. Everyone says no orange before I even present my proposal to them

If your deck is not too big I would recommend Cabot problem solver stripper/brightner or wolman brand stripper to get the remaining stain off those railings. Its costly to use on a large area, but for a one time deck it will save you from having to order a commercial grade stripper. Like others said let the chemical do the work and use the pressure washer to rinse off

Well if I get this customer Ill take tons of pictures since no one seems to have any of the brown

bump for any night viewers brown sugar anyone?

If the heat is the huge issue, they might want to look into a retractable awning. We put one on the lower portion of our deck and it makes it much nicer to sit out there. Ends up keeping the house cooler too from all the morning sun that normally comes through the sliding doors

Brochures came the other day too....nice!!!!! Really helps step up my bid folders

Shorts, shoes and t shirt usually covered with a long sleeve button up shirt to keep the sun off. you can put the collar up in the back to protect your neck. Normally I wouldn't mind the tan, but all these UV index 9/10 days can be killer

you know you have too much money if you spend 2000 dollars on a hose reel. And if you could afford to put those hose reels on your truck you can afford to stay in the office and hire people to do the work...and wind the hose...manually

I only do wood but I cant tell you no one uses an extension wand

To hold the sheets on the rails and spray over like ken was saying

I read them all. Just not much to debate on with business topics since your always right ken

If im putting a swivel on my chemcial sprayer (3/8 poly hose) should the swivel go directly onto the gun or a few inches down on the line?

Scotts the man!
