  2. I'm tired of the word GREEN and GREEN that and GREEN this. I like Brown and DEad plants. I like to watch thing WILT then Droop and of course DIE !!!! Only fooling of course.......
  3. Dan, if you want to down steam. You have to buy NOAH in a high caustic %. Be careful..............!
  4. I am very lucky I do not work on small decks in general. The ones that I do are next door to each other.
  5. Is this about women.............? L O L
  6. I think it's to vague of a question with many way's to interpret the function. Ease of future maint. is at the top along with maintaining the integrity of the wood. Understanding wood and how it degrades is the first step on how to approach understanding sealers.
  7. Upper level decks anything above stone, Wind,Rain, Is it going to rain after I seal and and and Pita strips. I have two strips that require 24 hours and I'm still not sure ? AND test Spots on those Pita strips....

  11. Ipe advice

    James replied to Mountain View's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    I take care of a few Ipe's that have never been sealed. There's no cracking. The cracking or spliting that happens is going to happen weather it's sealed or not. The wood it meant not to be sealed.

  13. What is the most effective way to get jobs?

    James replied to mdspowerwashing's question in Residential Pressure Washing

    Free Pot Brownie's !! 3 with a House Wash and a Bakers dozen with a Deck Restore over a Grand. This works great with X Deadhead"s and Baby Boomers looking for a BUZ. Put annual Maint's on Auto Pilot !! Repeat dozen at 60 dollars a month !!!!!

  18. Ipe advice

    James replied to Mountain View's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.

    Stripping Upe' Sucks. I have in the past with very good success stripped multi layers of ATO on Ipe'. Let it sit for 6 months and redo it at what cleaning I thought wood work. The weather and sun do a great job at breaking down that crap. Sanding the stuff blows.
  19. O DANNY BOY !. I have reclaim units on some of my decks that capture the leached oil and redistribute it back on.
  20. Dan , I use it for it's purpose to defeat the moisture problem. Then I switch to what I want to use to maintain the wood.
  21. It's great for areas that have high moisture content and can't dry out. By using that product it allows the wood to dry out and protect it. The wood must be 20%. Areas around lakes , wood close to the ground, ect ect ect . U get the idea.... U can use it on dry wood. Boron is a pesticide.
  22. i have used it many times
  23. Works on tux too.....
  24. Terry, there is one thing I've noticed over the years. The guy's who do well in Biz or who have a good reputation all end up at the same houses. A little food for thought ? Network ?
  25. Dan you live in one of the top towns to live in according to Money mag. Med income 105k, you live around some of the other top towns in the country out side of Boston?Dan, I can't read your posts anymore they are depressing me......... time for Family Guy.....
