    OK, were supposed to get a dusting this morn and it hasn't stopped snowing over 3 inches so far. A 90 minute school delay and bus can't make here and a foot tomorrow night. Most snow ever for Jan..

  11. Big storm on the way

    Getting slammed as I type . Over a foot already and up to 2 feet.
  12. Before I even attempt to quote or do a test spot on a job like that I ask how much the budget is and did they have any idea of the the future up keep. Most are clueless.
  13. When mold is that bad precarbs are worthless unless you add Noah to it. Bleach works much better and you can add Noah to it for a boost. Not hot water( sumtimes hot water) but heated water is great for pre-cleaning and knocking off thick mold so chems work better. Hot water softens up the hard mold and over 150 degrees starts to kill it. I always go over the under sides with just water and pressure first and do them first. I wood work my way up from the first floor up on a job like this. Knock heavy stuff off with pressure apply strong solution to floor and spindles, clean underside 2nd floor w/hot water and work your way up. Then when your done with a row of 3 Xjet that side with a weak solution of bleach all over and just rinse .U could also do all the floors with a floor machine first mechanically .
  14. That price is for just washing correct?
  15. Maybe you could start a business cleaning everywhere Brett Favre has been ? Could be quite a good way to start , don't cha know hey.
  16. Future Gas Prices

    Just paid $3.40. Oil is heading to 100 a barrel gas prices of 3.50 to 3.75 to follow. This really sucks !
  17. 2011 Resolutions......Are you brave enough?

    I always have to look at what type of Restitution I have to make for the up coming year.LOL!
  18. 2011 Resolutions......Are you brave enough?

    Man this is a tuff resolution to keep maybe I can do two days. Big first meal and feel like there's lead in tummy ....... Nap time.. Buttermilk pancakes dripping in butter with a cranberry/ cherry compote w/butter vermont maple syrup topping. Many! Many coffee's with light cream and a couple of chocolate dipped pretzels for starters while cooking.
  19. Fence Restoration

    Interesting point Beth. The creation of food sources for mildew growth is a topic that hasn't been touched . Some types of sealers with linseed oil attract these more than others and contribute to the acceleration of mildew growth. Even though they have mildewsides in them the surface attracts the foreign matter like pollen. Some sealers are like "Mold Magnets".
  20. 2011 Resolutions......Are you brave enough?

    I want to gain 20 pounds and not exercise. Eat butter and cream rich foods 3 times a day. Down a 3 quarts of soda a day. This diet may add 80 pounds by years end and be a new TV show ? I don't think I could do it and would probably take another year to straighten things out?
  21. Fence Restoration

    I can only report on my results. Results in the southwest have no bearing on what I get in New England. The results are and have been consistent . It's the Climate Zones across the country for humidity that are important to me. Az is in the driest.
  22. Fence Restoration

    Mark, I am glad your having such luck with the product out in Az. I have had no so luck here in Ct with the product. Mildew being the main issue. Areas with direct sunlight and overhangs look good. The Grey has been the best color for me so far and easiest to at least re-clean. Some stuff is just black after 2 years. I will still use it on a limited bases for certain projects. Climate must be taken into consideration when selecting a sealer. You need to compare like areas with a product.
  23. Deicer that wont damage

    Go to some snow plow sites
  24. 2 weeks ago while at Friendlies with wife and 9 year old son we were deciding on what toppings and ice cream to get. They have the choices of different brand candies like Reese's and others. The waitress comes over and my 9 year say's I'll have the vanilla ice cream with Feese's all over it. She could stop laughing and the booths to each side started laughing. A cherished moment forever !
