    Dickies are something like 60% poly / 40% cotton which makes them very good for bleach resistant.

    The shorts is what I am having a hard time finding. I dont like dickies shorts, so I go through alot of khaki cargo shorts in a season.

    We use 100% Poly shirts w/ our logo emboridered, (they cost us $7 to buy and $8 to embroider) and are 100% resistant to bleach. The under armor are awesome too, especially the polos for estimates and what not.

    I agree with Ken, no value in not using a washer. It can go both ways, high or low,...where as a basic flow pump doesn't give that versatility.

    I suppose for the new guy just starting it's a cheaper route to take over a pressure washer. But how many guys who are established don't already have the washer.

    I guess serious high flow could be considered (Cheaper GPM with a low pressure pump)

    Overall operating is cheaper. (Hoses and such)

    Wouldn't be for me though, I like the versatility of the pressure washer.

    We have the PW, just choose not to use it. Its not a necessity. And Very rarely have I ever seen the need to use high pressure.

    I don't think you are going to stop it.It's the same handful of people that are just argumentative.Every board they are on it's the same thing.My way is right and your way is wrong and if you don't agree with it I will just start flaming away on you.

    I think the thing to do would be ban them and delete their posts.That way it's gone and there are no website values for them hits and such.I guess I just have trouble understanding why if something or somebody is causing problems just get rid of them period!They will never play nice for long.

    I have read a bunch of resignations lately behind stuff such as this and it kinda amazes me that these are "Grown Men and Women" that are calling these moderators and admins whining like kids.

    Come on its a bulletin board if you don't like the people get off it!

    My thoughts exactly. If someone get so worked up over a BBS, theres something wrong with them to begin with.

    Get a life.

    Last year (our first) we grossed just over $80k for the year (or about $6700/month). That was with me and my wife (no payroll). That was w/ $0 for advertising (save for our website, yard signs, and truck decals).

    This year, so far we are on track to double that (at least) and we have 2 employees. 1 full time, 1 part time...

    If anyone says you cant make enough money to live on, that person is not trying or their personal expenses are too high.

    Thanks for the defense! Its appreciated. Thanks to all of the good comments.

    I get the same load of rations from negitive people on the fishing forums too. Seems like when anyone is successfull there is a line of people wanting to kick them in the stones.

    Ill open up on alot of topics. Id love to come out to a meeting sometime and teach some classes or seminars. There is so enough work out there for all of us!

    Hey AC. Would you be interested coming to Texas in May for a get together? lol

    Ive got the chems and methods and everything down. All that is easy stuff. I want to talk to someone about what really matters: The marketing and selling of roof cleaning. We do pretty good, but we're not doing 6 roofs a day. And we definately dont have 40 trucks or 100 employees. lol.
