The grey your seeing will not come off with any cleaner. The wood has degraded a bit and change color but not enough to come completely off. Cedar 6 months old you can just bleach it and rinse with no pressure. You need to buff it off with a 3 m pad. Sanding is a bit much .

Shane just texted me and said I won a Woodie. Does it come with a years supply of Viagra ?

I have a 2 pump set up on a cart. A 1.5 gallon and a 3.8 gallon. Tom from ACR made for me. I can hit 3 stories.

Butyl ,potassium hydroxide , potash flakes, simple green, degreaser. All work in varying degrees on gutters. Most products have some of these ingredients in them.

Roof cleaners and roof signs are every where. They can't wash a house but they can clean a roof ?

I take care of a lot wood in Fairfield county. Usually the sap appears as a whitish line and turns to a powder. Its not sticky lick pressure treated. If the deck builder sees it while building they should not use the board.

Nick, is that sqftage doing both sides ?

Nappy Birthday for the old guy's !

Tannin stains on concrete equals bleach( what mike said). On wood acid will remove them.

Some good stuff ADDDDDD .... So do u put down a oil sock around the deck when oiling ?

Semi solid might take much longer or not work at all . The finish has to de- laminate from the wood so you can push it off. Some products are better or just very hot water works. Or a combo of both stripper and hot water .

Ever see Marble fossil stone. Usually dark or black with the fossil imprints. Awesome.

I like the name Weathered Wood Restoration.

I love cleaning stone. I just cleaned some Limestone. The difference and color change was so dramatic. Then I cleaned 14000 sqft of pavers, 4000 sqft of bluestone , 2000 sqft of concrete stone mixed blocks around a pool. Same house ! Gotta get some photo's up.

The only thing i do with regards to the issue of waterborne is practice the torture.

The more I read about fuel it looks like gas might reach $4 a gallon by spring. When gas reached $4 a few years ago it was the number one factor that hurt my business in my 25 years of business. It killed other businesses budgets , home owner budgets and other business that have to use fuel everyday. If it goes that high it will be an economy killer in my opinion. What are other peoples thoughts? One positive it does seem to put hacks and lowballers out of business.

Im buying a horse to pull my trailer and keeping my work within 10 miles. Mules are excellent for carrying 60 gallons of love and distributing supplies.

Most good deeds do get noticed! Family members not included.........

Approach it like gum!

I would rather clean stone. I have a 16000sqft paver drive way to clean next week.

I have hired ex- Hooter Girls and have elected to go shirtless. For some reason business is busting ! Not using shirts.

New pt doesn't match up well with old pt. I save old pt from tear downs for board replacement. I let the new boards stay unstained until the next maintenance and usually get a perfect match. I keep cedar boards in my yard aging for the purpose of replacement and being able to stain and this works great. I used to do this for all types but got lazy! Mahogany matches up pretty well but the stain doesn't last.

I find I'm successful because I'm alway working for people who are successful. I know my stuff better than 99.9% of who's out there, don't screw up, call most people back, make fun of every thing and start the day with a laugh. KISS Today my wife says her new pants are a little big and do they look funny? I say you'll grow into them ! My son starts laughing ! good one dad ! Great start to the day............

I'm doing work for an ex- sports agent who now recovers money for robbed pro athletes . He's doing very well...... gets one third and just recovered 10 million for a pro who lost 128 million.

Bobby Hull drank all night at a house I lived in with a couple of other guys . Non of us where into hockey but all jocks. I think he liked us because we didn't believe him and kept saying your a figure skater?
