Surface cleaners for cleaning desck?

[Surface cleaners for cleaning desck?]

We have done it on really large decks but yes you need to know what you are doing. You must lift up and go fast at the ends and do not go sideways.

[House washing on hot days?]

1 side at a time and wet all flowers and bushes first and after.

You can do it any way you want.

[3/8 hose vs 1/2 inch test]

Yes it is a good spot. Be careful of any hoses. We broke a connector in the gas line when we first did it and then we made sure it was all out of the way.

[3/8 hose vs 1/2 inch test]

I know that it goes down in water flow but it did not feel like it was that much of a difference and I wanted to share it.

[3/8 hose vs 1/2 inch test]

I called cat and they told me that I would lose 400 psi for every 100 feet of line with the 3/8 and 100 psi for every 100 feet of 1/2. But my test showed that it was about 200 psi and maybe 50 psi. I do not know about the water flow but it did not seem like it was that much of a difference. We do more buildings and homes so I was looking at how high we can shoot the water and chemical and it was really no difference. The surface cleaners already fly.

[3/8 hose vs 1/2 inch test]

I got another 10 gal. machine with 31 horse power engine and a 660 Cat pump and it rocks. We put 300 feet of 3/8 hose got 2500 psi. We then put 300 feet of 1/2 inch on and got 3000 psi. The 500 psi diffrence is not that much for me to use the 1/2.

[How often do you use hot water on residential jobs??????????????????????]

Yes we have 10 gal. And 5 gal. Machines on all our trucks and one with 2-10 gal. and 1-5 gal. With residential it is very fast. Water can be a problem at times. We also do a lot of apartments and condo's that we can fly threw very fast. We did 25 good size buildings last week in 4 days with 3 guys and 3 machines. I like it fast and efficient, just ask my wife.

[what kind of sealant would you put on this deck]

We have done a lot of RS and woolmans and recoated them but never Armstrong?

[what kind of sealant would you put on this deck]

Thanks Jim I will fall and talk about it RS is what I am used to. And stripping the ceiling is not in my future.

[what kind of sealant would you put on this deck]

I have never used Armstrong? Why should I use it on my deck over the ready seal?

[what kind of sealant would you put on this deck]

I am not sure what kind you are saying but it looks like ready seal? This is my deck and I have not done it for 2 years. I never did the ceiling and was thinking of doing it. Maybe Armstrong? I told Jake I would try his stuff. Nice guy.

[How often do you use hot water on residential jobs??????????????????????]

You do not need heat for residential work. Spend your money on bigger gal. Flow machines and you will go a lot faster.

[what kind of sealant would you put on this deck]

What sealant would you put on this deck and would you seal the cedar ceiling?

[Tennis Courts]

600.00 single 1,000.00 double. Love and fast surface cleaner or rinse.

[Belt Drive Cold Pressure Washer]

You do not need the heat, spend more money on Gallon Flow. Buy a 6 or 8 or 10 gal. cold and you will be happy.

[Moving vehicles to work]

Sorry, I should have left the keys but I did not want them to take it for a spin.

[How long would this take you?]

No ladder needed. If it is real bad you may need to make the chemical a little stronger and soap it a couple times.

[How long would this take you?]

With our set up and 2 guys it should take maybe 1 hour and yes 400. sounds about right. You do not need hot water.

[Rob Huffman - washing for DIAPER MONEY!!!]

Congrats, I thought we were only to have kids in the off season?

Let me know when you are at the inlaws. I will buy you a beer.

[downstream]

You do not need hot water for residential work. Why do you guys want to mislead him. Hot water is more for grease, oil, gum. Use the proper chemicals and save the lawn.

[We only have 1-2 more good months]

Here is your better path.. Stop doing the physical work and make alot more money and have your buffers in place to deal with some of the bull**** because of the more money your going to make. Those Buffers are good employees with a lead guy in charge who can handle stuff that your handeling now if your doing the work. You on the other hand are out getting the work and counting the money and dealing with your lead guy who is now dealing with stuff that you dealt with when you did the work. Of course he doesn't have all the responsibilities that you had because your the owner but pay him well so he can take on some of those responsibilities.

I was Saying that I did a lot of the work when I was younger and now I know a better path. I agree that for a company to grow and make a lot of money you need to have systems and the right people in place. Last year was a great year for Power washing in Pa. becuase of that. All I do is put out fires and give estimates but it does not mean that I do not work a lot or have stress. I hate it when people say to me "I guess it is raining so you have the day off" What do you think everything stops. But now when I do some power washing it is fun and it is stress free, I even like it as long as my phone does not ring.

I do seem to find more time for my wife and I to go to happy hour?

[Rain Suits]

I have done the striped raised decks in the cold and yes it sucks when you are wet and cold. My guys use then sometimes. I was just having fun with ya.

[Rain Suits]
