Paul I've never done it in the ground used wood/charcoal/ and gas in a cooker. I know what ya mean it takes alot out of ya to stay up all night. I don't do that any more, use gas and it takes about 6 hours to cook a 180lb pig. Quit using wood or charcoal when I started looking around around about 4 - 5 AM and I was the only one awake and sober. Then later I looked around and I was the only one there at all. So since I'm doing it by my lonesome then I do it on my terms. Let me know when the next "gentlemans" BBQ is I promise not to so too much of my red neck. or as Garth Brooks put it "show up in boots" hahaha. Stone Crab? You haven't had crabs until you taste Maryland Blue Crabs. Next best thing to King/Snow Crab. I can taste em now Steamed Blue Crabs, lots of cold beer maybe even some osyters and or steamed spiced shrimp.... Ok....Now I've done it.... done went and flung a cravin on me...have to go out on the boat and get me some crabs when they come in..........

Those Ribs look great. Have to post some pic's of my next Pig Pickin. I do the company picnic every year. Cook whole pig, 80 LBS of short ribs.... mmmmm.. mouth startin to water already

I too am very interested in what will remove Acrylic Latex. I just ran head long into another deck with this stuff on it. It failed bad after only 8 months peeling and all. Needs stripped and redone but everything I tested won't touch it... So.....

I salute your son's Pass my thanks along to them if you will

I call words to live by. Now where did I leave my sun glasses??

I've been looking at hooking up a water tank to my washer. I have a 3500 4GPM AR pump, hot water unit. I know the pump will pull water from the tank, but are there any other tricks or, "oh by the ways" I should know about? Thanks Howard

Jon Ron P Thanks loads for the info, Ron I printed out your instructions and I'm currently studying them. Jon thanks for the picture and yes if its not too much trouble I would appreciate more pictures. Thanks as well for the info you emailed to me. Rich Yes my unloader has a bypass so that isn't a problem. I'm just trying to get the right procedures so I don't have to buy another pump to try it again.

For now I'm happy changing the line from bucket to bucket. Then use buckets with the x-jet. I usually use minimum of 2 chemicals when I up stream 3 if I apply wax, then one more for the x-jet.

Thanks, that helps alot, the more I thought about it the more I thought that was what Jon had said about the bypass. I have to sit down and draw out everything you said, I know it'll be easier than it sounds. :) Thanks

Uh? What do ya mean run pump in bypass? What I "planned to do was plumb the tank into the pump inlet, with a "Y" shutoff so when I didn't need the tank I could just hook up the water hose. Am I thinking wrong on this one?

I recieved a call about washing a two story Colonial in Cheapeake Va. Any one interested contact me my email or phone and I'll pass the info along. Thanks Howard Braden Power Wash

You say the deck has never had anything put on it, then say your going to strip and seal? Assuming you don't have to replace any of the boards and the deck is a ground level I priced out your deck as follows Clean and strip with one coat of sealer Total Sq ft = 298 (haven't used spa - Pool and deck) but have used Flood products before, their coverage is about 130 Sq Ft per gal. = 3 Gal Total Price including materials $521.50, Before discount (if any) I figure total material cost including stripper, brightener and sealer at $123.00 2 hrs to strip, rinse and brighten deck 2 hrs to seal = $70.62 per hour (+ cost of material) That

I agree, and don't get the wrong idea I'm not, or didn't intend to knock HD-80. I think the key word here with what I got into is "LATEX". The Super Deck Solid Deck Stain is an Acrylic Latex. When you do try the super deck and find something that will strip it, please let me know So if I stepped on any toes I apologize. Howard

Being retired Navy, I hate war, but hate getting stepped on by every one with a cause even more. Although I do respect their right to "TRY" to step on us.....:mad: May the Eagle Fly FOREVER http://home.att.net/~Poofycatt/EAGLE.html Just a few thoughts. May God keep them safe and bring em home :)

I cannot stress this enough..... You must test.....test......test......Prior to taking on or even giving a price for this job. I didn't do that last summer and paid the price.... It was the "Deck From Hell" The "Stain" was "Super Deck Acrylic Latex" White two coats. Nothing....I repeat....Nothing was taking it off...HD-80 didn't even touch it. I know HD-80 is a great product but for this I might as well have been trying to strip it with soap. I ended up cleaning it then putting on another coat. This was at the owners request, since I was getting ready to just refund the money paid, take my loss and walk away. So I repeat.... Test .... Test.....Test Just my thoughts on the matter. :cool:

I am planning on attending your shindig on Saturday. I would like to attend Marketing in the AM then stick around for the Demo. I will also pick up what I ordered that day. Save 5 Gal of Wood Tux (Cedar), for me as well (if its not too late), I'm gonna redo my deck this year and that is what I intend to use. See ya Sat Morning. By the way, where ya at and how do I get there. I'll be coming around 295 from southern MD. Thanks Howard

I use a pad because I believe it is easier to control the amount that goes on. Also this is the high traffic areas and I want to make sure that I get good coverage . Besides I hate to bend over all the time, and my back won't take that anyways. :D

Slight sheen, I'll be trying wood tux this year as well. On my own Deck. Now for the question. I spray with an airless the railings, spindles and any lattace work around the deck. Then I us a Pad on the deck surface, steps and top of the railings. :D :D Spring is just around the corner I can feel it. :cool:

Went really well, didn't have a digital camera so no pic's I'm gonna get one so maybe next year when it snows. Didn't get as much as the last snow fall, this one dumped some ice as well. Haven't put the plow away yet! holding out for one more snow. I am starting to get calls about houses and decks so I'm starting to offically get spring fever. Been looking at some of your products and maybe gonna try some this year. :D :D :D

PTA Factor, I like it as well and will be adding that in my estimates from now on :D :D

Nice site Beth look out the window thats me in big red with the plow. I'll be back when the snow stops. Stock up on Miller Lite, I'll bring my own cigars
