Here's another for Mahogany and other types... Exotic Wood Online - Honduras Mahogany Lumber Beth :cup:

I mentioned redwood because believe it or not, you do find it outside of CA, and it can be mistaken for a hardwood by owners. The rings are very tight and close together, giving it the appearance of being dense and a hard wood, when yes, it is classified as a softwood. There is no mistaking the red color. You might want to look at some images of grain before you go.

Take a photo of the wood. It could be: Ipe Redwood Brazilian Redwood Mahogany Beth ps if it is a hardwood, set the expectation that the finish will have a shorter life...don't be afraid to take a photo and tell her you will call her with what type it is.

Hi Alan, Please add your signature. :) Beth

Exactly. I doubt anyone charges the same rate for every job. If your guys are spending an extra couple of hours on a job, of course you are going to charge accordingly. Or at least one would hope... Beth

I believe he means unfinished furniture. You buy it and finish it yourself. Beth :cup:

oh the pain of it all. Classic! Rod!~

Sorry Rick, Just having fun with ya. No harm intended. Rod!~ ps, not tired of wood, just the tennis elbow that has been plaguing me since January. I love my Job! :)

Thanks for sharing. All you need now is the jungle sounds playing in the background. Rod!~

Exactly. Go touch up the deck. Beth

We all know that sealers, stains, and paints were changed to meet new reduced VOC requirements as of January 2005. We have all seen how our favorite various oils have performed since then. Some of us have tried acrylics and newer technologies as a result. How do you feel about the changes?

We use the ATO and the solid decking stain, but not the other. Sorry. Beth

For residential, yes. There are all sorts of challenges, terrain, plants, town homes are close proximity so you have to care for the neighbors area as well as the customer's area, you have to tote the ladder and hoses farther if it is in the middle of a row...and the list goes on. Beth

If you are talking about a standard house wash, your x-jet should keep you on the ground most ( not all) of the time. For decks with no stairs, you are not going to have to place it too many times. We look at terrain and the number of ladder changes, and add accordingly for difficulty ( sorry - I know that sounds vague and it is). Just remember it takes time and physical effort to properly and safely place a ladder so as not to harm the worker or the property. Never be afraid to ask a client to trim a tree or bush before you work, since an improperly placed ladder can land you in the hospital or worse. Beth

No it's not. It was an inside joke. Circa winter 2008... Jim left a glove here at the house, he was passing through after a GA round table we all went to, and I need to mail it back. Beth

Hey Rick, I know you were trying to keep it an even number but I thought of reason #11: It's a moisturizer and a magic act all in one! Now you see it, now you don't! :lol: Rod!~

The glove is on my desk, in a box, waiting to be mailed - and it is June. :lol: Beth :cup:

Well, that can't hurt any. Flick the mineral spirits rag while you are there and chant a little. ;) Might add to the experience. :lol: Beth :cup: :seeya:

Well, a sense of humor can help you through almost anything if you let it. ;) Hope you have a great day! :cup: Beth

That was cute! :) Beth

Pretty sure I am too, so you are not alone... Beth :)

Learned about these last week. What's That Bug: More Beetles 2006 Beth

If only there were more hours in the day, I'm sure I would do many things I can't do right now... As for wood person of the century, I doubt that. Personally, I try to learn something new about wood each day. I never have trouble finding a new thing to learn about some facet of wood. Beth
