Beth n Rod

Here is an example of one, sorry, couldn't find the other pics showing different views. Waking up is hard to do sometimes. http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/attachments/scrap-book/10635d1219494966-fords-rule-aug2008-097.jpg Rod!~

Rick, Get some of Tom's 633-ADD if you don't have any on hand and boost it. It will take it off. Call Rod if you need ratios.... Beth

Our Decker 5 ers have the gauge too. Beth

Welcome to TGS! Beth

BRAVO! Wonderfully done! Beth

I find that when that happens it is time to change the clamps. Smaller ones that are just a little bigger than the outer diameter of the hose works best but don't get the thin banded ones, get the wide banded clamps, they hold better. Rod!~

No tips (sorry) but I sure do want to see before and afters. Sounds like an interesting fence! Beth

I don't know what to say.... Thank you Henry! :) Thank you very much. And boy I could not agree more about focusing on business. That is perhaps the single most frustrating thing for me in this, is I spend what little time I can trying to help, and then when it gets out of hand I don't think anyone realized the cost to all of us; TGS staff and members alike lose valuable profit generating time they cannot regain. This BBS was set up to be an information repository of all of us, to make all of our lives easier and hopefully more profitable. It should be a place to build positive relationships and to network and grow your business. But like anything else you do, you have to manage your time on any task you allow to be part of your business day. Beth

You have to love a day on the water! I'll bet they were happy too! Beth

That's one reason we stopped doing hoods. It was really hard with all the day work, decks and so forth. Just was not a good fit. It's hard on the body unless it is a normal daily routine. Beth

It struck me as funny at a time when I needed a laugh. It read to me like "I am posting but not saying anything" which just gave me the giggles. :lol: Still does! :lol: Don't get all tense. It's OK to laugh. Seems like we could all use some laughter! Beth

I could be wrong, but I don't think she is referring to your post, just looking at the posting order... Beth

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE_VxSn6NLQ]YouTube - Boston Public: Smell That Shoe[/ame] Today.... this is hilarious..... :lol::lol::lol: Beth

Exactly. Good thing I have a thick skin! ;) Beth

ROTFLMAO....... then why did you post just now? :lol: Beth

Aha! I have you answer! ....buy longer hose! nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. Used to use it in the way you mentioned but prefer now to just set the pail behind the unit by the motor. This way, we always leave the handle in the upright position, but I am guessing that you have to fold it down for space restrictions? The "D" rings can be replaced with linch pins for quicker removal or just don't fasten the clip on the ring. my .02 suggestion I have 2- 30' lengths and 1-50' length of hose we use for the portable units. The truck mounted version with a different pump for chem application only has 200' of hose and the crew loves it. Ours cost almost $500 @ but the pail-top version was around $250. They paid for themselves time and again. Tom is now a distributor/pseudo manufacturer of the pumptec units. PumpTec no longer manufactures them but sells the parts and Tom puts em together. He has great ideas for configurations and can help with a customized set up if need be. On another note, It's raining still and after 2 days I am starting to get a bit bummed. The decks are stacking up... Rod!~

Do you have a battery case for it? Plastic Battery Box & Case | Battery Cases Boxes - Remy Battery Otherwise, I would change the configuration. Marine deep cycle batteries have dual terminals, one for a collar connector and a threaded terminal for wing nut secured connections. FYI Rod!~

They do,Tom sells them as well as parts for them. Rick I agree one of the biggest problems is the weight of the unit. Long hose is a blessing, less movement of the unit makes for a healthier user. Beth

Just to cover an important item here... Composite decking manufacturers have different chemical methods prescribed for cleaning their product. Some will recommend a percarbonate for cleaning, others will recommend a pool cleaning version of chlorine (Calcium Hypochlorite vs Sodium Hypochlorite). Manufacturers also have agreements for a supplier to be an exclusive source for their products cleaning requirements. Saw a 5lb container of percarbonate sold to a customer for $45.00 + shipping to clean their decking. No date on the label, so no one knows if the 6 month shelf-life had expired or not. Some will even go so far as to call the warranty void if a specific chemical is used on the product to clean it regardless of whether it is the most suitable for the situation; oxalic for example. While great at bleaching the tannin stains that originate from within the substrate itself, it is cause enough to void the warranty for some products regardless of the fact that tannins are water soluble to begin with and become very difficult to remove without the aid of the acid. The warning: Be careful as you may inadvertently void the customers warranty just by cleaning it with the wrong chemical making you liable for replacement. Find out what brand the product is and check with the manufacturer before making any cleaning recommendations. It is also a good thing to have a waiver signed by the homeowner if they insist on having you clean a product that requires chemicals in the range of those forbidden by the manufacturer. Even if the warranty has expired or been voided by previous treatments, CYA beforehand by initiating a customer signed waiver so they can't blame you just to get it replaced. Rod!~

The general membership could not see the infraction. The mods could, but none of them brought it public either. Beth

Pump Tek makes both of them as I understand it. (decker and deckster) They are a great tool, no matter what you call them. :dancing: Beth

Yeah, I got that point. As I said I'm HUMAN and we all make mistakes, and do unpopular things. How many more times are you planning to rub my face in it? Just curious.... Beth
