  1. Rick , I was looking at some of my early photos and I found one in 2006 with BDA written on a deck and one with bleach written out on the deck.
  2. In 2006 I form the BDA . The Bleach Dwellers Accociation. I'm prez and Shane is vice prez we are the " bleach boys" . Debunking the myths associated with using bleach on wood ! We also have a European division headed up by our man in the UK.

    Mac and cheese- when my 11 year old sons friends are over this dish is one of thier favorites she makes ( from scratch ). One of the kids is very large for his age and does not stop eating the Mac and cheese and has been caught scraping the bottom of the pan and eating the remains off other's plates. I call him Mac and cheese boy!

    We just made pulled pork a week ago. Our family is sick of pork made too much! It was great though. Been doing a lot of oriental cooking in the wok . Wife and older son have been making home made sushi which is very good and fun to find ingrediences .
  7. All these one day schools and soft washing marketing propaganda drive prices down. I've seen it already with roof cleaning. Prices have gone down which drives house washing down. Had a talk about this yesterday with another contractor . Roofs are driving prices down its a fact. I've been cleaning roofs since 2000 in Ct . I'm starting to see the results of bad jobs becaused I fixed a couple last year done by others. Get prepared for the onslaught of roof cleaners in your area and soft washing marketing propaganda!

  10. I just developed Sparkle washing and will bring it up in Albany. After hand washing the whole house with industrial bleach wipes. We hang a glass prizims to give that sparkle effect when the sun hits. We can talk about industrial hand washing certification . Read the container and your certified ! We have wipes for gutters too ! Just read the label and your certified !
  11. I'm pretty sure you can get a certification in Sparkle Washing. If you used the word sparkle in any advertising for more than 3 years consider yourself certified in Sparkle washing. It is a notch above soft washing.
  12. Maybe everybody who posts can be certified by the Umacc. ? LOL
  13. In my opinion your first step to preservation is to bring it back to nature . Pray and meditate and oil with a one inch chineese brush . This will bring you to a place of peace and a understanding of preservation young grasshopper .......
  14. Nobody has had more of an impact on the industry I can see other than Cris Tucker Apple Roof Cleaning. He created a new industry within the industry . We now have roof cleaners for every 5 houses in the US. He truly has been an influence in this area. Other people are leaders within the industry but I don't know if there are influential. Other people our specialist within the industry.
  15. All my wood care work is maintenanced based. Which turns into maintaining the property for life . I used to do a ton of yearly of the horizontials which I switched to every other year. Some ipe is still yearly. I have approx 30 customers that have shelled out 20 k in maintenance and I have 50 that have paid 10 k to 15 k in maintenance over the life of their deck .I have 4 that have paid way over 20 k thats because it includes the house restoration .I have 20 sets of garage doors that I do every three years which have mahogany decks which I do every other year that development is 5k a year. Most of these include maintenance from the roof down. I love maintenance. In the last two years I have picked up some very nice annual and every other year cleanings that don't include wood . My clients actually bug me about their maintenance
  16. Was doing some reading and came across this thread .I also know because building is down deck builders are trying again to add sealing .There are more water based products that can coat a deck. Has anyone gone into a paint store and asked what should I put on my deck?
  17. Are you looking for a builder or a deck refinisher /restorer ? I do much work in the area of Weston Ct.
  18. I've done furniture made out of this wood and played basketball aganist a person with the same name.
  19. I just recieved my Internet handicapped thread reply sticker.
  20. Jason computor is back but I had no photo's of trailer . Took sum today in a crammed garage .
  21. Jason , I do yearly , every other year and then complete re do's after the third year. I treat hardwood different than soft wood and look at the environment the deck is in and make suggestions for care . House after the forth year or reccomend doing a side.
