The "illegals are back" with the opening of Baseball season the noise associated with Landscape season is here. On April Fools day a plane had Hundreds of people with backpack blowers parachute onto Connecticut soil. The plane was from Central America. This has become come an annual event and the Flower Beds are happy . So are the people of the state who scramble to capture one of the parachuter's for yard tending season. The season ends in November.

Ken , the word rhetoric fits your posts the best when it come to woodcare . Irresponsible is he other word that comes to mind with what you say. But I respect your marketing points of view . The Hobbyist

Very impressed with BOB's Service.

Shane is at the boarder recruiting . It's one of his !!!! Shane say's; hey hombre u wanta work at the bleach ? the next thing there spraying fences 500 miles from the ocean. A training ground for the BDAtion.....

My long term goal is to get through a year without health problems . I guess that is short term. So my goals have completely changed over the last 10 years because of bad luck and freak health issues. I am one year away from getting back on track with my original goal of having a very highend service company. That includes marble restoration (winters) which puts me into a different league for pressure washing and woodcare . I have laid all the ground work for this transformation. Traning , equipment ect.... If I don't make it in the next three months I will be out of business. It's that simple

What temp was it out side? strippers do not work well under 60 degrees. Tommy wax is a pain sometimes when over applied. Sometime I use heat to take a layer off then apply the stripper.

I'm restoring a marble vanity and sealing some granite counter tops. Still have issues from heart surgery. Today quoted a house in 800k hood. The guy built the hood, got the job and he is sorta like head of maint. for the owners.5 more to come 550 each. I start off with about 100000 sqft of wood maint and house washes and pools are included in there.Referals for wood starting to come in from a network of deck builders who finished projects over last fall and winter.

Most people in business have ego's. Then there are the big ego's thinking their self worth is most important. This usually turns into egomaniacalism(Blood Pressure Killers). Then there are business people who are character's and have big egos. I think this set represents the pressure cleaning field best. People who become specalist in certain area's of interest stay small and get well known for what they do. Sir James of Knowledgewood

This one of my hobbies that has turn into a labor of" Love and Spirits". I have to say it comes out very intoxicating (great). This process is a great joy for the people envolved and for our family and friends who get a sip. Each year we get more creative and cocky, the wine gets better!! The passion associated with wine making is unique and you become part of a brotherhood like woodcare. Salute'!!!

How about"Charlie'S Wood Angels" and three babes show up to do woodycare!! I can see the outfits now......... and the process !!

I think I have some pretty good label shots for the bottles.! One shot is the stems and the other is the cellar with the goods in" Tommy Johns". The process takes a year and starts over. Plans are already in the works. During the year there are Rackings which is a process of filtering the wine ( for lack of a better word). About a 130 gallons......

Once you start doing Big decks 2 to 3 k its hard to go back. Give me a nice cedar house about 6 to 8 k, prep 2 to3 days ,seal 2 days, clean up 1 day, 2 guy's and 1 day to admire work having drinks with customer. I take care of 20 decks 15 by 15 all in same hood second level with white trim and spindles. Pain in the my hIneass.

Still having stamina issue's maybe May? I cleaned some Granite counter tops and sealing with new machine. I have a marble vanity to restore next week. I most likely will go in this direction until I have more stamina. Very cool machine!!

This time of year your area Paint stores have clinics with the product Reps. I got 2 invitations last week.

Check the the Headstone's ? Couldn't resist...........

looks great

I use F18, Hd8o and fast finish remover. I do block the spindles with card board as I'm spraying to limit the stripper going on. If the spindles are real chaulky stripping would be an issue. I haven't seen this problem yet.

Stunning is correct !! Great setup the the builders.

I ve done a few and haven't had an issue. I pre-wet and kept them wet. I thought about spraying with Rain-X or WD-40.

I like BigChaZz.." ChaZz up your deck"

We should have an AARP section for the aging Cleaner !! LOL

Dan Take the M out of your name Tabasco!!

I concur with Lipker.

The composites with the most wood fiber clean up the best and the mold stay's at the surface.

Tony I've been at a job where the Composite cleaner didn't work. For a composite deck builder.
