chat is being fixed by james should be ok in a min

thanks for sharing dale.....just goes to show that plants are not the only thing you should worry about when you roll up to a job.........i think this thread should be a sticky one. cheers paul.

it has been a thread in the past...which board i'm not sure.....but people put what ever nozzle they like to use and go by instinct\experience.....start further away and go closer to the surface till your happy....

great job reed...do they ever ask you to match the house to the deck...stain wise ??

sounds like fun.....i will check out the hire shops....cheers paul.

if i have saturated the house, i have applied chem from the top ...having said that i nearly always apply from the bottom up as good work practice....with the x-jet its so easy to switch chem\ water...water\chem...got to do all the green stuff if you do the house aswell all the overspray goes where the chem will[wind]...so it is easy to soak where it is needed.

dale...how do those nail palmers work......not seen 1 before....paul.

if you rinse well.....the only plants you will kill will be when you are dragging the hose around and you forget to look where you are going......

as it is fairley recent....brick acid\stiff brush and p\wash...can use your turbo here as a last resort...paul

looks like you are going to have another happy customer mate ;-)

this some of the uses for it....it is 35% chlorine and used as a disinfectant and all safety practices should be followed. Lithium hypochlorite has limited uses as a disinfectant and bleaching agent for swimming pools and spas and in food preparation areas (e.g. dairies and butcher shops); and in dry laundry bleaches.(1,3,7,8) Disinfection of surfaces, furniture, sanitary engineering, clothes in hospitals and clinics. It is characterized by anti-microbe action against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Purifier of water in swimming pools.

most of the time when people are talking about washing gutters......they are talking about the outside of the gutters during a house wash. cleaning the inside of the gutters is a job that most do in the fall.....myself i do it by hand \hosepipe......when you use a p\washer it creatates more mess than its worth.... paul.

and i thought it was a typo!!......i read it as "one hose operators" ;-)

all the best al...just got back from a break...hope you had a good time.

hi dale..have you any pics of you doing this...it would be interesting to see the meathod you use to tie off.....i think ryan uses this meathod aswell........i cannot see me doing it as there could be too many variables for problems :-)

dale...that sander looks awkward to use...how did you find it handled ?.....must be good if everett recomended it

cannon...check this site out...... http://www.pavingexpert.com/setout01.htm once you know whats going on you can go ahead and clean it.....

gav...you will never clean all the dirt that is behind sidings...have you ever known a clean builder ??.....take your ladders back and clean the runs by hand...it should also help you remember next time ;-)

if you have to use a wand aka tonys thumbnail invest in a 4ft one with a small bend at the end...if you do decks you will probably have one of these......also a squegee is a must.....
