  1. It sounds to me like if the guy does his own prep he may be one of those guys that sprays on bleach from Lowes, washes each board with 3500psi, a15 degree nozzle and stays about 6 inches away from whatever he is washing. That may be why he is expecting the paint to flake off. A word of caution.. if the house hasn't been painted for a long time the paint on it might contain lead.


  2. So I received a call today from a local Hotel looking to get some PWing done. They would like a bid on the sidewalks, curb and gutter and the sideing which is white vinyl. The building is three stories and roughly 30,000 sqft interior. My question is what is the going rates for something like this?? I don't get into much commercial work so I'm not real sure what the market allows for. I know what to charge for the sidewalks but if I charge my average rate for a 2 story or larger it will come to around $3,450.00 just for the siding..does that sound right? I was also wondering what curb and gutter is going for?

    Thanks,

    Rob


  3. Tony,

    What is a spst switch? Is it an on/off switch or does it regulate pressure? Either way I think I will need to have both. Do you use a filter on the inlet? I will be using this set up to spray product onto cedar roofs so my line will be around 150-200 feet. I was able to pick up some 3/8 line from the place that I got the tank and pump from. When I bought this stuff they told me to call and they will walk me through setting it up...well guess who hasn't returned any of my calls:rolleyes: Thanks for any input you may have.


  4. I can only compair the xjet and the m5. I just picked up the m5 this week. (I didn't put my xjet away properly and it fell off the trailer :() The adjustable spray is great but I would have to say it has nowhere near the range of the original xjet. Probably like 5 or more feet less. The draw rate is definately greater too. I went through almost 15 gallons of wash on the first house I used it with then I changed it to the 1/4" line I had from the old one. I know the draw rate isn't that good with the 1/4" but I'd rather have to spray chems longer than waist them. I'll probably experiment with the 3/8" line and the proportioners when I get time.
