Here's one that pulled up next to me at the 7-11 today. SWEET! Why can't I get a big signing bonus on my next big contract.:lgsad:

Northern tool has a Genreal Pump HAMMERHEAD for $249 w/ free shipping. It is a better surface cleaner than any of the Whirl A Way models. It is well built and worth the price. The best 19 incher out there, however, is still the Classic by WhisperWash. If you have had them all, you would agree.

Cool! I love things like this.

did you buy more diapers? If you didn't go do it. If you did, go buy even more.

Buy more diapers.

Maybe the clear stuff was mislabeled - its always kind of motor oil colored for me. All brands look pretty much the same. Never clear though.

Guys and dolls - I think some are missing the whole point of the thread I don't think Everett meant that homeowners can find out how to do the work themselves by searching the web and finding their way to the forums. It's what they stumble across when doing a simple search for one of our websites or a topic like 'roof cleaning' or 'woodcare'. The problem is all the silly arguments and those that pick on others for not doing things the way they think is the right way, or whatever. More people should use the Private messaging and email to make their arguments rather than posting it for all to see forever. We have all made posts that we wish we had not made. Just think about what you post about your competitors, customers, and even your own business - it could come back to bite you later.

CLOROX OUTDOOR CLEANER is not just bleach...it is a RTU cleaning solution containing bleach for the consumer market.

The 110 volt and 12 volt systems both burn diesel or kerosene. The electricity powers the fuel pump, ignition system, and blower. There are also LP burners thet use little or no electricity

the 12 volt are diesel

I have always had good luck with Fords, but I like the newer Dodge too. They are all good and any of them can have problems. Just try to find one that suits your needs and budget. Remember, when buying used, there are a lot of other factors to consider other than brand - previous owner, maintenance records, vehicle history, etc. For towing the 3/4 tons are better than the 1/2 tons, but for a small trailer you should be ok. Just don't overload the trailer or go beyond the ratings of your towing equipment (hitch included). Trailer brakes are a plus too. But what do we know - What really matters is that you "wear" tags rated for 11000 lbs. - right Celeste:rotfl:

Oh I forgot - Will you be doing the inside as well, or just outside?

Make sure you thoroughly rinse the awnings, and do not let the chemical dry on them. Also, try to do a test on the least visible side to make sure the chemical and material/dye are compatible. I do a few awnings for some of my customers, I wash by hand (very soft brush) and rinse with high volume and LOW pressure. If any chem stays on and dries - you will have less than desirable results.

Wayne invented the TJ 3000 !

this is exciting ! I can't wait for the next clue.:goodgrief

what kind of tire marks? do customers drive in and out? Just trying to understand what type of location it is.

If it takes you 12 hrs and someone tells you do it for 250 dollars then you will go broke. If someone tells you do it for $75/hr and it takes you 12 hrs. then you will never get another job from the customer. If someone tells you do it for $75/hr and it takes you less than an hour then you will go broke. If someone tells you $250 and it takes you less than an hour you will never work for them again. You know how efficient and productive you are and how much money you need to make to be profitable, only you. do ya get it? until you do one for yourself you will never know if you are cutting yourself short. If it is all about the price then call a bunch of local contractors and get their price - then lowball them. Myself, I like to work for the amount I need to make a nice profit, not for the amount I read about on the internet.

Try washing one and then you will have an idea how long it takes you to do the job. Asking others for pricing is generally not a good idea because of several factors including regional differences, skill level, procedure, equipment used, quality of work, financial situation, etc, etc, etc. Only you know your status in relation to these factors, and only you know what you need to charge to make money and be competitive in your market. as far as price breaks go - thats up to you. I dont give any breaks as such, but are more willing to work for less depending on how much and what type of work I get out of a contractor. I just give them my price per job. If you are getting work based on price alone, then they are gonna suck you dry, and then ask for their discount.
