This week we used Armstrong Clark, and we have to say we were impressed. This product gets two discriminating thumbs up - WAY up for several reasons.... product support - great company to work with easy of use and application....don't have to finesse it into looking even colors to choose from I'm going to attach a couple of photos of a restoration job we just finished. The AC is on the deck floor. (the house had another product installed) The deck and home are both 3 years old and constructed of white cedar. The finish that had to be removed was Menwood. I could get very, VERY used to this product. Durability will be the next thing we look closely at. I'm sure Rod will chime in also. Beth

What was the hose length, was it high or low pressure, and what was the winning time - I take it you timed it with a stop watch? That's what I have seen in the past. Beth

Have fun...off to work! :lol: Beth

Saw this on another BBS - very helpful! Economic Stimulus Package: 50% Special Depreciation Economic Stimulus Package: Section 179 Depreciation Beth

Hi everyone. I have heard this term from many different people and it would seem that we all have a different perspective on what constitutes a 'Professional' Websters defines professional in the following pertinant sections: 1.of, engaged in, or worthy of the high standards of, a profession. 5. engaged in a specified occupation for pay or as a means of livelihood [a professional writer] Pro is defined as 3. a person who does something with great skill. Professionalism is defines as 1. professional quality, status, etc. By the simplest of terms, we are all professionals by the definitions listed above. Although ambiguously, people refer to others as not being professional for the way we speak or act and I would have to suppose that they are going by unspoken or unwritten standards of which have not yet been discussed. Could this be a form of etiquette? Etiquette 1. the forms, manners, and ceremonies established by convention as acceptable or required in social relations, in a profession, or in official life. 2. the rules for such forms, manners, and ceremonies -syn see DECORUM Decorum 1. whatever is suitable or proper; propriety; fitness 2. propriety and good taste in behavior, speech, dress, etc. 3. an act or requirement of polite behavior: often use in pl. Given all this and used as a basis for further discussion...How do we go about defining professional(ism) in our field and developing the etiquette to be applied? This could be a pivotal area for our industry to develop standards of conduct that could be applied throughout contracting...please share your opinions and facts. Rod~

Thank you! Beth

Those doors are potentially stunning, makes me want to see the rest of the house. I would strip them with HD-80, then neutralize them with a blend of Oxalic and Citric acids, prep them ( light buffing or sanding) and then seal them. Reduce the pressure you are washing with to 1000 PSI at the tip, and remember it is not the PWer but the chems doing your work so dwell time is key. Don't wash until the wood is ready. Beth :cup:

Exactly! I could not have said it any better. Beth
