replace the wood

steam may do it.

When I did them (mistake) it took me 1/2 hour to clean each location. From start to finish. I guess it depends on how your equipment is set up. You don't have to bring any water, I hooked up to fire hydrants. But, the travel time is a killer and will eat your profits and then some. If you notice this guy is on here every year trying to get someone to do this work. anyone who does it, realizes how much it is NOT worth and won't do it again so he has to find someone new.

this is a chain of very low paying Home Depot's. I feel sorry for anyone who does them. I did, and never will again.

I have moved to vegas so give me a shout if you want to get a drink.

pressure pros, how long have you live in Havertown, I lived in Overbrook park for a while.

I have a company that does an incredible job for a great price. Jon, hated Ohio and it was a toss up between here and going back to Philly. I decided to give it a shot here. So far I made the right choice.

have you found anyone yet? if not, I just moved from there to vegas. I can give you a few names of companies that will do good work. let me know. mcappa1@cox.net

the chemicals to clean those awnings shouldn't be too expensive at all. Unless you are using something different than I am thinking. You should be paying about 40 dollars for a 5 gallon pail of dilutable chemical. You can get about 200-300 awnings done with 5 gallons. hope you aren't paying too much more than that.

I do, but have never done anything like that. I stain with solid colors. Wouldn't mind learning how to do the above type staining.

I chucked my x jet as well. not because it didn't work, but because I found a faster, simpler method and I will never go back. Well, I still have the x jet, just don't use it anymore.

Just playing devils advocate here, but...wouldn't you re-coup the cost of free samples either in your taxes, or if the product is well liked, when the contractor buys the product for use? I am not really making any statements, just playing devils advocate.

In my opinion, Hotsy is the best pressure washer on the market. I have seen machines in the field that are over 20 years old and still going strong. With proper maintenance of course. Hotsy machines usually come with Hawk pumps and come with a 7 year warranty. I now work for a Hotsy/Landa (and soon Karcher) distributor. If you would like to give me a call to discuss the machine, feel free. Hotsy and Landa are territorial so this is not me trying to make a sale since I am in Ohio, not canada. If you go with a Hotsy machine from a local distributor you will also get top of the line service from who ever you buy from. Mike 440-653-3570

Alan, out of curiosity, if the water did not go through the filter you would need a haz mat cert to transport it, correct? Just because it went through the filter you no longer need the cert, even though the same crap is on your trailer, just in seperate compartments? Is this correct? I am just curious how it works.

it was actually painful making that face. I was just kidding, I am not conceeded. I can't spell either, lol. I wouldn't post those pictures. It will give the wrong impression of me. what is TMI?
