[Question about Aluminum siding]

thanks in advance

[Question about Aluminum siding]

Do you guys use your "gutter cleaner" for aluminum siding or the bleach mix? Sorry I dont have pictures yet, but the siding is white and very dirty.

[Winterizing PW'er]

thanks for the tips!

[Winterizing PW'er]

Putting the pw'er up for the winter. I seen those pump saver liquid, I guess you spray into the pump. Is one better than the other? Locally only sears sells them and was wondering if craftsman was just as good as the others?

thanks

[What recipe you use?]

I am wondering what everybody uses to wash wood? I have a cedar house to wash (no stripping). I have citralic to brighten after the wash but dont know what to use to wash the wood.

thanks

[Anybody come across this?]

It isn't like you have to worry about killing it ;-)

I didnt know if the bleach would affect it in any way or not

[Anybody come across this?]

yeah I did.....good thing I had my wife with me. She was rising for about 20min

[Anybody come across this?]

I did my first pw job last weekend and the h.o. had that fake grass or carpet whatever that covering is on the porch. the soap got into that stuff and I had a helluva time washing it out. Anybody had this happen? What can I do in the future?

[Different quick connect question.]

Suzuki98,

Sry. Guess I had a bad day or something. Wish an O ring woulda fixed mine!

Glad yuo're back operational and fix was quick and easy.

...another good thing abt the BB... reminder to buy O rings.

Seems most the vender supporters have 'em on sale now, too.

r

wow sounds like your day was worse than mine :)

[Different quick connect question.]

I have launched my share of tips also, but never my turbo. How far did it go? And did u have to rebuild the turbo?

My turbo nozzle launched about 8 ft. I actually was still using it after I lost the o ring (had to rinse the bleach!). Got a little wet but it still worked. I havent tried it after the new o-ring, hopefully nothing in the turbo blew!

[Different quick connect question.]

thx guys that was it. I got the coupler off and the o-ring was missing

[Different quick connect question.]

After I changed nozzle today from x jet to turbo, my q.c. shot the turbo nozzle out and after I put it back on, I got wet. Water was coming out above and below the connection. Should I scrap it and buy another or is there an o-ring in there? I havent had a chance to look at it yet.

Thanks

[Michigan R T And Demonstration]

Jarrod

the demos sounds great, I'm new getting into the business and have not attended any workshops yet. Hope you have a price soon so I can start planning!

[It takes too long :(]

Don, you should come to the MI RT & Demonstration in july. I'll show you how to do wood restoration much faster & easier.

Jarrod where can I find more info on the demonstration? I'm looking for dates and price of demo.

thanks

[It takes too long :(]

thx for the reply

[It takes too long :(]

This is my first fence (the pic is just after a washing), and that side I did was 27 ft long and it took me 1 hr 1/2. I used EFC 38 and it still took that long. How long should I dwell? Any ideas please give it to me :)

[What price quote would you give this?]

Here in the northeast, we have many Capes & Colonial style homes. Some have dormers, Sometimes it is easier for me to throw a ladder to hit the area where the side of the dormer meets the roof. If this area is a north exposure and the house has not been washed for some time, it can get real nasty. Most instances dormers can be cleaned from the ground by D.S. or X-Jet.

Ron that is exactly where most of the dirt is where you circled the picture. It looks to me that the H.O. tried to reach what he could out the window and couldnt get that corner. I will try the x jet once I do a practice run with it.

[What price quote would you give this?]

Tom thanks for the advice I will take that and come up with a price for future jobs :)

[What price quote would you give this?]

I have to believe that if you look closer, there is more that needs done. If the dormers are dirty, suggest that you wash the whole house. As you said, you are still learning, so why not learn how to wash a house and get paid. Part of what you'll learn is that people will ask you to piecemeal a job to save money. One important goal should be to learn to upsell, and make each job count for maximum $$$.

My minimum is $175.00, but that's for decks/woodwork. Not sure how low I could go for house washing.

there is more work there, the soffit and gutters need a good cleaning but the ho said he didnt need that done. He is an older gentleman and cant climb up to dormers to clean

[What price quote would you give this?]

Since you didn't draw in the dirt, I may be off, but it has been a long time since I had to use a ladder to clean dormers. (In fact, I recently did a large house with 3rd floor dormers - fortunately no wind that day.) I downstream 12.5% (fortified with my own special blend of "herbs and spices".) but some will use an X-Jet.

LOL...I didnt draw that picture i found it on the internet, I just showed a picture of a dormer incase someone didnt know what it was. I just got my x-jet, I havent used it yet, so I will practice with it before I do the job and leave the ladder at home.
