RICHARD, If its leaf or nut stains try straight bleach, just spray it on and the stains with disappear. Its called tannin stains???

The weather men predicted rain Saturday No Rain, Sunday No rain finally got rain today. If i went by them nothing would get done. I had my guys work all weekend NO rain I was hoping the rain would fall this past weekend. I have 26 buidings to clean gutters now it will wet leaves & pine straw. I hate the weathermen

Are there any real large PW comanies in the U S and who are they. Id like to find out who the top say 25 are. Anybody know ? Any websights I could look at etc etc. I hear about some of these companies, national or who go up & down the east coast doing flatwork who are they? JL

Thanks Ron, I'll check it out. Just like to see & maybe learn a little about you & the other big boys & see what you guys are doing Thanks JL

I just dont understand, I now use RPC Gutter Shock its cheaper $$$ than Gutter Zap but I had great results with Gutter Zap. Hell Ive screwed up a gutter or 2 with both products. But I think both are great products

Got to love Floyd, I remember popping in an 8 track just cruising around with my buddies listening to Floyd. I saw them in Foxboro stadium years later and it was like being a kid again. They rock & relax at the same time.

Thats how it happened for me also, then I got a 3/8ths one and didnt like it at all. I know Steve Rowlett complained because alot of his chems were set to use the 3/8th, so when i use his RM products or concrete cleaners I just mix stronger to compensate Mike W old habits are hard to break and this way I can use same tip for different chem applications and I dont have to train all the different workers on different tips for different applications

Say hi to Ron from Xterior, he helped me a ton in the beginning. He also can get you all the parts to convert to 1/4" JL

I have a neighborhood where Ive done cleaning of common area curbing & sidewalks, then I apply rust remover Oxalic to everything. Tomorrow I'll be doing a walkthrough the entire nieghborhood to set up this service on a contract basis. Now I will be cleaning concrete once every 12-16 months but they want the Ox applied 3 times a year within a 8-9 month period while their irrigation system is on and just after they shut it down for the year Now the rust removal 3 times in my opinion is overkill I know I'll only need to do it twice a year. Should I tell them it only needs to be done 2 times or should I do it 3 times and take the money, each applications going to be around $1000 - $1400 and if by chance some areas need it 3 times then I'll do it I know what I think, what do you think? Thanks JL

Xjets are set up for a 3/8 hose and all the fittings are 3/8th. With 3/8th you will use alot of chems , it empties a 5 gallon bucket quick. I converted all my Xjets to 1/4 inch and i use much less chems. i do a 2000 sq ft house usually with less than 2 5 gallon buckets of house wash usually about 6-8 gallons of mix. I just mix it a little stronger and it works great. For high peaks, you can use a step ladder or a 4 ft extension As for the gutters remaining gray, they might be a cheaper quality and the finish may not be as good to begin with. When useing G Zap becareful that the gutters arent painted it can take the paint right off and can do it to a cheap factory finish also. all of a sudden you can have nice silver gutters Paint store should be able to order 28ft pin lock, Lowes or HD has 27ft twist lock Barlox is a real good soap but pricey, I like it for roofs also gives great cling Congrats on your 1st house wash, they get real easy over time & alot quicker Good luck JL

Whats the best water boom or dam, I have a project that no water can go down the elevator shafts. Up to the elevators theres indoor/outdoor carpet. I know I could make a dam out of fire hose, but Im thinking I want something to absorb the water some Any advise and were can i purchase ehat I need Thanks JL

Scott, what the heck is blue pig socks? As for berms are there any that I can purchase and where? Thanks

Wood restoration would have to be my least favorite. I dont have patience for it thatmuch. I'll do it but since its such a hard sell around here, I've found I dont even try to sell it here. Plus its hard to schedule, because of having to go back and stain and if that day you schedule it doesnt have the proper weather it really messes up scheduling My favorite is just about everything else, I like the larger projects that take several days and several men to do it.

Well I'm from Boston but just another damn yankee living in South Carolina GO PANTHERS:lgsideway

The Pats sucked, but they figured they'd give some other teams a chance for once. Pats will be back don't worry!!

I'm just wondering how you would bring up telling someone theres a fee for an estimate. What would you say? It would be nice to charge a fee to defer the cost. Its just not the norm so I think they would just call someone else I think you may not get any of the jobs ifyou tell them theres a estimate fee. I'll ask if its a distance away how many sq ft is the house and if its a small house that I'll probably not make much $$$ I tell them its out of my area for a small job and I thank them for calling

I just cant see doing it, I cant see it being a uniform thing that everybody would charge. Like I said to many dont & wont charge for estimates. I wouldnt pay it. You have to make it up another way. Look in any Yellow Pages and you see free estimates. If you were going to charge how would you go about it, just wondering?

:bday: Hey Stainlessdeal Scott, Happy birthday hope you have a great day!!!!!! Friday the 13th was Ok for me also, the surgery went well, Im a little stoned now

Looks like you should have the Swedish womens swim team in there Nice job, that will be nice after a hard day!

I going to be doing a project which will require me to apply Oxalic 3 times a year (Irrigation rust). It will be several thousand sq ft of concrete curbing & sidewalks. I usually apply ox on large areas with the Xjet, but some of this concrete requires a stronger mix of ox I remember seeing somewhere a chem sprayer (I think a pump up) it was 5 or 6 gallon on wheels that might work for some of this project What other types of sprayers/pumps are good and will last with oxalic running through it. Something portable, because I dont want to mount it in my trailer because this project the trailer will be cleaning the concrete and one of my guys will be applying Ox as the concrete drys Thanks for any help JL

Steve, Cant beat the enclosed for advertising. Ive had dozens of people call or talk to me because of my trailer, just since I got it a few months ago. Ive already made thousands because of the rolling billboard. Richard what size engine is in the van. You could letter it up also for some great advertising

Hey John, I didnt recieve anything, could you try again please jlecours@sc.rr.com or fax it please 843-215-4698 Thanks Thanks Carlos !
