  1. Diamond Jim!

    Thanks for all wishes !
  2. Dan,If your any good and have a very good rep in a highend area expect to make 40 to 50 dollars an hour. With DI 75 to 100 an hour on exterior. It takes time to get very good at window cleaning the inside an out of a house. I did it yesterday and a Foyerway light. The light had not been done for 6 years. The last time I did it. On this house I cleaned , The house, area of roof , blew out gutters, front walkway, back walkway and patio area, exterior windows , Foyer light and some interior windows and other light fixtures. I forgot the bridge over the brook to the putting area !
  3. Florin, Depending on the size of the house and the amount of windows. One to two hundred dollars can be added and up to a wash job. House that are 4500 sqft and up will be more.

  8. Defective Pressure Hose

    John, I have all the back up stuff that keeps me going. I never ran into defective hose before. It seems , I blamed everything else except the Hose. Which I bought and didn't use for about a half a year and took me another 6 months to narrow down the issue. I have 2 100 foot sections that drove me nuts !!
  9. Defective Pressure Hose

    Marko, what was going wrong that you knew it was defective? I had the Fittings blowing off the ends of the hose !
  10. After PW a house DI water is awesome. Its tricky? your better off waiting for the area to be dry around the window to use DI water and bushing. Otherwise, some of the chalk residue may leach back on the window. I love it! I have a house to go to now. House ,fence, shed, DI the windows!!
  11. Brush the glass and rinse. The condition of the glass and how dirty it is has allot to do with how they come out. Glass comes out better with agitation. or get a De-ionizor.
  12. I 've been doing this a long time now and I find Nov to be the best month to wash a house in New England . Temp's are perfect, Don't have to worry about plants, The Sun is no problem, chem's don't dry out and work great. The only problems are, Short day's, Early morning Frost, Wind, Leaves -do not put down your equipment in the grass ( lost). November is my pick for best and most productive month for Washing a House !
  13. Say NO to Gays!

    What do u call it when a Gay couple is behind on their Mortgage payment ? IN the Rears !!! LOL.... I just made that up and I live in CT and have many Gay Clients and I am just being funny, It's not personal !
  14. 2008 Sealer Poll

    Rick, I think the" WiZ Roller" is put out by Heineken . It's a great enabler, Drink, Work and Wiz at the same time?
  15. length of season

    Finished a Cedar Garage door yesterday ? should dry by May....lol... A side note adding a little Acetone or Naphtha ( Spelling) will speed up drying of an oil base sealer. But it will increase cost a little and decrease the solid content of the sealer. So you might have to put more on as you get used to the process of adding these additives to the addendum !
  16. Rick , I thought it was only during very wet periods ? That looks like the "The Rogue Mold" (PT wood) !! The Mahog looks like a Woodtux Blackendecker !
  17. Dan, in CT this year I've had issues with the dreaded black mold problem and a couple of years ago. This type of mold comes around in the Northeast during very wet periods( when things stay wet for long periods continuously). If not removed its invasive! It will grow through the finish and into the wood and deep . On top it will get furry and fuzzy . If it was on the wood already your screwed. The spore will grow back it not terminated. Reclean with bleach and determine where mold is? . It's the environmental Kamikaze Black Mold! They are a Rogue group! They float around in the air with only so much fuel and dive bomb unsuspecting deck. Woodtux Blackendeck problem is seprate from this issue.
  18. Wizard of Oz

    Just got in from a Great production of the "Wizard of Oz"!! The guy's who played the Scarecrow, Lion and the Tin Man where awesome. Great special effects ? The Wicket Witch, Dorothy and Toto wonderful.. good stuff...

  21. How many uses for duct tape are there?

    My brothers Duct taped my head (all of my hair) when I was a wee little Lad !! Very very very bad brothers I had !! It still starts arguments today !!
  22. Need Help

    A cleaner with Acid in it works best to remove dried on Chems. The problem is if the chem stay's on to long it will etch the glass. Solving that is a different issue. Zud's is a handi cleaner( has some Acid) and Bon Ami. Or make up some deck brightner, soap, bush, rinse off. Safe Restore works Awesome!!
  23. How many uses for duct tape are there?

    Scariest Halloween Costume I every made was with Duct Tape !!
  24. Congrats President (elect) Obama

    The Leadership of America and it's direction have gotten lost under Bush/Cheney and their deceptive Governing practices. The Republican Party's pandering to the Conservative Christian Right and Special Interest over Moral issues has got to go and get back to it's original ideology . Unregulated Capitalism doesn't work and the Biggest Social Welfare program proves that out! Bailout 2008!! I think Bush's plan was that he hoped the Economy's failure's would hold off until Jan 20 2009. Bush killed McCain and America was ready for a huge Change! What a Great feeling it's is to be part of History and the appeal of Obama has on the World gives the US great hope moving into the Future!
