[Cold water for Commercial flat work]

If you surface clean with cold water then remove gum with hot water you will have wand marks, already tried it. you wont be happy with the results.

[Painting Contractor]

Some painters like the surface stripped to the bare bones, thats alot different than a paint prep. If your going to remove all the paint you need to charge for it because he will probably want you to pick up the paint chips. With such a old house you might be looking at lead based paint,then you will be required to pick up chips. In my experiance painters usually dont want to pay much and expect the world.

[Flojet pump problems!!!!!!!!!!!]

unscrew the four screws that hold the head on and check the check valves in the pump head it probably picked up trash in it. If it did it wont prime. it doesnt hurt to pull them apart and check them every once in awhile eliminates problems at the job site.
