With lawsuits as prevalent as they are these days, it would be VERY foolish for any company to not put a PSI rating on the jug they're putting out on the market for just any knucklehead to over inflate. Are you even sure what PSI refers to? Did you really read the box to see what information it provides? Jeff

Hey William,...yea I know you knew about PSI rating,...I was talking to Michael in asking about the pump sprayer he uses. I'm not sure he's talking about a typical pump sprayer, that is why I asked him to post a picture of what he's using. Jeff

Every single jug has a PSI rating. There isn't a company making pump sprayers that doesn't put a MAXIMUM PSI rating on the box or in any literature that may come with the sprayer. Also,...Any pump sprayer that is pumped to max. psi and having the nozzle adjusted in the right position will shoot further than 12 feet. If you can, put up a picture of the pump sprayer you are using. Almost sounds like you're talking about bottles with a squeeze trigger. Jeff

First couple things I'd try would be trying to manually turn the engine shaft,...easily though. Pull the spark plug and see if that does anything. Jeff

You lost me here,...what is being given away? You didn't know the difference from what,....cleaned gutters compared to dirty gutters? Are you saying you've never cleaned gutters with the proper cleaner in 4 years? Sorry,..but your post is hard to decipher. Jeff

Ken, I think you would agree that gutters can make a huge difference in the outcome of a job. So my question to you is, why would you want to allow the customer to decide this important detail. Especially when you consider the unaware customer may not even know how much of a difference it makes,...but you do. I personally couldn't wash the siding and allow the gutters to remain looking untouched. Just seems like a bad idea. Also, seems to me it could possibly hurt "quality of work" advertising. Meaning, other potential customers, see those dirty gutters and figure you don't do the gutters,...and they aren't aware it was the customers' option. Jeff

Hydroxide or Percarbonate would be my guess. Jeff

I have been kicking the idea of gutter cleaning around for a few years now. Think I shall give it a whirl this season. Jeff

Thanks fellas. I am leaning towards the springs. Jeff

Looking at buying a new trailer. Would like some input concerning suspension. Torsion or leaf spring,...which is prefferable and why? I have initial thoughts about both. I like the servicability of leafs as to maybe having to replace whatever goes bad in a torsion axle if stressed beyond it's limits. Thank You, Jeff

There is no need for a lift on any two story basic vinyl cleaning. Use a 24' ladder with a stabilizer, downstream your mix and use the ladder and a Mr. Longarm brush. Very simple and fast. Jeff

I offer no warranty work on any cleaning. No offense Ken,...but the house washes you give warranties on for two years for everything above 10 feet are maybe customers who just don't want to be a pain and they know that it's tough to guarantee this type of work. I am in Pa as well and in two years th houses I do still look good, but I bet there's some mildew growth,...even if it isn't visisble from the ground. Not knocking your warranty, if you're selling with it that's what counts. I agree with Dan, seems hard to give a guarantee where elements that are out of your control can be the determining factor. Things like; What's under the siding, landscape and the obvious,...mother nature itself. I prefer to give customers an honest evaluation on what to expect where longevity is concerned,...with the above elements being taken into account for each job. Just wondering for those who offer warranties,...do you bring up the fact or do the customers inquire? I only ever get asked about 3 times a year if warranty the jobs cleanliness,....and that's on roof jobs. And again I tell them what they can expect. If I do a house surrounded by other infested houses, they get about a 2 year expectancy before any reoccurence,...where the house in the country setting gets about a 3-4 year expectancy. Jeff Jeff

Good to see you got it done. Jeff

Yea, I'm so used to gutters here in Pa that I didn't even realize there were none. So my gutter cleaning recommendation,....well,...THERE AREN"T ANY!!! Jeff

Hi Mike, ideally that roof should just be replaced,...but we don't live in an ideal world. Not much you can do with that roof in the way of physically removing the growth. I would tell her all you can do is kill it and it will fall off over time. You may also want to explain to her that the gutters are most likely in need of cleaning out,...simply because off the amount of granules that are likely to be in them. always sell a job for what it is, don't sugarcoat it.
