1. Newbie! 2. Never washed before. 3. 1st contract 100 Storage tanks 200'x60' high. 4. annual or bi-annual contract. first off, what is on them? Judging by where your from I'd say they are Oil storage tanks, could be pretty nasty and you say containment isn't a problem. Does that mean they already have containment on site for each tank? Need more info. (note to self, move to Tx when richter gets job he'll need sub's) :wave: Good luck keep us informed

I use about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup (6 to 8 count squirt from the bottle) in a 5 gallon jug of mix along with 1/2 a cap of liquid tide. Also now that I think about it I believe it was Rod and Beth that gave me the idea about 3 years ago, been using it ever since. Thanks Guys........ :cheers:

I use cascade in my house wash mix, its used in dishwashers to give the water a sheeting action so your glasses and plates don't spot. So I thought if my glasses and plates don't spot why not try it in my mix. It works, I also add some liquid tide this combined with the cascade give the mix some suds and added hang time. Haven't had a problem with spots, for me its not a joke it really works.

I if its the first job of the day I give them a specific time, "Friday morning at 8" if its the second or later job I give an estimated time "Friday around noon." I tell them they don't have to be there I'll catch up with them or leave the invoice in the door. Haven't had a problem (knock on wood) yet.

No problem Nick, let me know when they're ready for prime time.

Man I've been doing it wrong all this time. I could have bought this and been on my way in no time.........:banghead: Yeah Right I liked two lines. The "attracts business like a magnet" and "make big money without any equipment or ever touching a wand" I'd rather :corn: and watch.

Nick This site has a good description of what a humidor is what it does and what woods to avoid and which ones are the best. I also has deminisions as well. Enjoy reading. http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/w00069.asp

Welcome Nick and Charlie Nick, Nice work, good quality wood work is very hard to find. Have you ever thought of making Cigar Humidor's? They're not much bigger than what your making now. Just a thought. Again very nice work. Howard

Stain Colors
Howard replied to Russell Cissell's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Russ Thanks for explaining that, I misunderstood and thought Jesse was mixing colors now. That would be great if we could do that. In my area (Southern Maryland) folks want the Western Red Cedar, Warm Honey Gold, clear, in that order. If I could just buy the crystal and mix the color I needed that would really help me out. Not saying I would just buy crystal, I wouldn't but I would keep it on hand and when I found myself running short I'd mix enough to finish the job then restock. Thanks Howard -

Colored Pigment? Jesse please elaberate more -
Barry I use nothing but fiberglass have both a 24 and 28 foot both have stabilizers. Stabilizers keep the ladder off the gutters as well as providing a more solid feel while working. I agree with Celeste they are 3000 times heavier but I've had an aluminum twist and fall with me before, fiberglass won't do that.

First off I wouldn't know how much is was in it because I wouldn't open it. I'd turn it over to the Police and let them handle it. Then after, I believe its 90 days if no one claims it, its mine. Years ago my wife and I were walking into the theater and I picked up a money bag by the curb. It was laying open like it had fallen out of someones car when one of the kids got out. Anyway I didn't even look in it. I saw it had bills and reciepts inside I zipped it closed and turned it into the manager. When I checked later he had called the police and said the owner had returned, to claim her bag of money. Turned out it contained the daily take from a local hair saloon, she discovered it missing when she stoped at the Bank to make here deposit. Maybe I'm just ol fashioned or too honest, but thats how I would handle that.

Same here with Walmat home depot lowes. I haven't found anyplace that sells 10% liquid. Even talked to the two pool supply stores here they don't carry sodium hypoclorite use the tabs, crystals, powder. Best I can get is the 5 - 6% at Wally world

nope not me, life is reality enough for me. Now my wife, thats another thing mainly she's hook on American Idol, and anything where they come in a tear up your house/room/back yard and make it into something different. I just go to another room and watch NASCAR, American Chopper, ect.....

I second that.......all in favor........???? I interrupt this thread to bring you the following announcement: It seems this thread has in bbs terms been hijacked.......into the I (Love/Hate) (circle your choice) the PWNA. I believe there is another thread that deals with that issue, I vote we get back on track. Thanks for your attention Now I return you to your regularly scheduled programing

I voted yes I would support I would support a new org. Not because I think we need someone to speak for us, I don't. I voted yes because I feel there is room for more than one org, just as there is room for more than one BBS. Also, I can't think of a better couple to set it up and get it off the ground. Go Beth and Rod.

Can I remove paint on a deck?
Howard replied to erovegno's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Eric I've tried almost everything to strip a painted deck and like Beth said some come off easy some not. The worse I've seen was what was called deck stain it was called Super Deck solid, it was acrylic latex. I've only had luck one way and that was with a wet sand blaster. It really worked although it left some in cracks and crevises. Also, it never hurt the wood at all just took the solid off. otherwise I agree with Robert RUN.... RUN FAR and RUN FAST.... -
On a transatlantic flight, a plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lightning. One woman in particular lost it. Screaming, she stood up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die," she wailed. Then she yelled, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?" For a moment, there was silence. Everyone had forgotten his or her own peril. Eyes riveted, they all stared at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then a man from Texas stood up in the rear of the plane. He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle in his boots, unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time. No one moved. He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled across his chest. She gasped... He said, "Iron this -- and then get me a beer." :lolsign:
