  1. I bought myself a wagner airless and love it. It is 7/8 hp model with adjustable pressure. I plan on putting some extra line on a reel and running from the truck. The plus is it is easy to clean and very fast working a long line off of a reel instead of dragging the unit around.
  2. enclosed trailers

    Hey BR, I am also looking for the same type in the next couple months. I did a search about a week ago for ballpark figures. Found a couple good priced used cub trailers at Buy & Sell New & Used Trailers Browse at TrailerShopper.com Not an endorsement never used them but worth a shot.
  3. Acid Wash a Garage

    Guate, Check out eco-procote. Good stuff easy to use and safe. I have been experimenting with it and so far love the results. Get the floor etch compound they have all the directions online and are more than happy to answer questions. Good luck.
  4. Just trying to get other peoples two cents. I usually can not go below a dollar a sq. ft. on many of my jobs fences/decks. What are you all usually charging and what would tell a customer if your competition was giving quotes like this: Q: How much does it cost to stain my wood fence or deck? A: We charge .25 cents per square foot of new fence, which includes labor and materials. We charge .32 cents per square foot to stain an old fence which needs to be cleaned first then stained. Finally, we charge .85 cents per square foot of deck to be stained. Now I think they are using wood defender, but how are they making money and doing a quality job at that price? Just wondering and looking for input on what to tell customers when I come in so much higher.
  5. Shane, Nice work man. I will get ahold of you later this week to try some. Hey on the overhang on the pool what did you use to keep it out of the water? Just wondering, I have only had to deal with stuff like that once or twice. I sespended some small plastic trash buckets in chicken wire and roped it off to the right height. Just curious if you had something better to keep their pool clean. Ryan
  6. Dan plastering is a pain in the butt, I could not do it hats off man. Well maybe I could? If you want it to come out like a 4yr. old finger plastering it up there. I use two different finishes for my staining. Mostly Ready Seal, but I also use a product out of Canada called Timber Pro UV. Timber Pro UV's main staple is log homes but it is a good finish and I like it. A bit more expensive than Ready Seal but it is low to no VOC. For green people (harder to apply though-runs). Me myself have never used wood defender but after seeing how some of the fences are wearing, I am staying away. It might be how it is being applied though. Plus I like to take my time to make sure they are getting a good job, try to treat everyones like my own. I do not always price by square foot since some jobs are just more of a pain than others. And I agree with SCHRCC 900 sq. ft. means just that 900 sq. ft. If I am measuring I am a little bit slow so I measure everything and I mean everything. LOL sometimes takes awhile. Thanks for the responses.
