    Hey man, at Lowes they sell a 7" pad applicator. shur-line is the brand. It comes with a red handle and refill pads. For the railings you can ether use the pad or rag or staining mitt. If our going to spray then you have to cover everything with plastic. carry a spray bottle of mineral spirits and a clean rag. If you get it on the house spray it on and wipe it off. Makes the cleanup easy.

    What is the biggest challenge to your business right now?

    competing against the competition and so many new startups.

    What can you do or did you do to overcome that challenge?

    I upped my appearance in little things that go a long way.

    Was your effort successful and why or why not?

    It is very successful. The other day I was doing an estimate for a three story house on the water. They had one guy come out and he charged $99, another guy charged $350. I charged $650 and landed the job right then and there. The home owner told my I was the most proffessional looking that came out. This happens a lot now. Appearance sold and they were completely satisfied with the work I did.

    If the challenge is beyond your control what are you doing to try to manage your business in spite of it?

    Appearance is under everyones control and it speak volumes of the work you do, good or bad.

    Where is your business right now compared to where you thought it might be at the beginning of the year?

    Its right where I wanted it but did not expect it to happen. God has blessed my business this year in very peculiar ways.

    Where do you see your business in the next 12 months based upon your specific area?

    Making its way to being one of the top pressure washing companies in my area.

    Been a while since I've been on here,

    The shirts, though more expensive, look better longer after multiple times with bleach. I had some polo's with my logo sewn on but they didn't last at all. Then I got printed t-shirts. I went through a dozen in less than a summer. Bleach, sealer/stain, rime. Image is one of the most important things in our industry. I'll try it this year and see what happens.

    Shirts that don't get bleached by bleach! I really hat whereing Tie-dyed T-shirts while I work. I was at target two days ago and picked up one of those under armer type shirts for running and used it durring some housewashes. They don't bleach out. NO spots. They have some collard ones that I am going to pick up as a new uniform. also as far as shorts go, I have been whereing my board shorts, surf shorts, quick drys, whatever you want to call them. They don't get effected by the bleach ether. They have to be Onneil, Quicksilver, Billabong, or Volcome, etc...They look good too. even after weeks/months of cleaning under bleach. I just got a pair of kahky bordies and a black collard shirt for a new uniform.

    For what its worth,
