Thanks for the input everyone. I'll post back here when we decide which course to take. iPhone - Tapatalk

I've no clue.

At first I thought that this was just a funny post. Then I realized that you are probably serious. That made it funnier.

Yes, there are some wells that are okay and some that are not. We carry water tanks with us and refill from the customers spigot, explaining that we never hook any machines or pumps to their well line that would stir up sediment or tax their well. Besides, we're only going to be there an hour or so, so we won't be using that much water anyway. Some wells are of such low flow rates that they would not support any kind of additional use. For them, we take our "tanker" which is an old army truck with several very large water tanks on it. We fill it from our well before we leave for the job. And then there are cisterns. Nobody wants us using up their cistern water water for a house wash. Sometimes, we schedule their cistern water supplier to meet us on site when we start and then he refills again after we leave but usually we just haul our own water for ease of scheduling. There is a charge for each tank hauled. So yes, you can do it without tanks, sort of.

This is our second year with the PP 8gpm/3k. We use the Classic with bigger tips based on what surface is being cleaned. I agree with others here, It is an almost perfect residential piece.

The most common size is 275 gallons but I've seen them in 330 gallon size before.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. Good sound track..

A bunch of Indians that hid out in the mountains to avoid being forced into the government camps. So yeah, we've been here a while. No aristocrats in our tree though. iPhone - Tapatalk

We used to use them to drive 20 penny spikes. They have a collar around the anvil that might keep it from countersinking. A few moments with the collar on the bench grinder will get you all the countersink action you need.

Under $50.00 air driven. Under $125.00 battery powered. Not everybody loves Milwaukee rechargeable stuff, but it should hold up well for just a deck.

You're looking for a palm nailer. Stanley Bostitch PN50 Mini Impact Nailer - Amazon.com Somebody (Milwaukee?) makes a cordless/lithium powered one now. You can even do it left handed. It works on screws too. I had an old head tell me once that threads were for takin' 'em out.

That stuff in red is a bit discomforting.

Shooter Tip? I love my shooter tip.

Beautiful.

Mat, Study the spelling of the word "certification" and then study the word "dehumidifacation". I think dehumdification is more like certification than currently represented on your truck.

Nice truck Mat. I do believe that you are facating where you should be ficating. Just saying.

We don't remove oxidation, we clean it. It's still there, it's just clean. There are any number of products that have been touted and tested over the years with varying levels of success and longevity. I tell my customers that it's wear and tear from the sun and environment and that I have not found a compound that I'm comfortable selling them. But I sure will be happy to wash it for you.

I'm pretty sure that if my Christmas eve duties included firing a guy, I would've taken the day off. They didn't, I did anyway.

I would probably ask $700 for it if I had it. But I've never paid more than $450.00 for that or nicer. The neat part about that machine is that you could do some simple service yourself if needed in the future. At $500.00/whatever, I'd rather have that than any thing you could buy at the store for the same money.

Go to SAMs or Costco and see which one of the machines can fit in your car. None of the points the guys are trying to make apply to a man and his maxima. Go get a machine tomorrow that works for you today. Then spend some time figuring out if you are going to do this for real or continue doing it for ****z n giggles. After you decide to get serious about it and trade your car in for a pick up is the time to start thinking about what would be best in the long run. A car is not a part of a long term plan. If this sounds familiar it's because we had this same conversation a month ago on three other forums. I do respect your hanging in there though. Keep swinging. iPhone - Tapatalk

You are still talking about disposable Jorge so one is the same as the other. Go to Costco or SAMs and do the best you can. Set aside $10 from every job towards getting a real pressure washer. You will blow your socks off when you step up from the worn out 6.5 hp you've been dragging around.

You need to go buy a pressure washer. You've been washing for four months with a dime store unit. If you choose not to purchase a professional unit, you must accept the fact that your disposable choice is going to need replaced on a regular basis. Consumer grade pressure washers have a duty cycle and a very limited number of hours designed into them. It sounds like you've got your monies worth, it's time to move on.

Test your regular house wash mix on an area that would be easy to repaint if it goes wrong. Use a ladder stabilizer and apply the roof mix from the gutter line. No, you are not allowed to ruin your pressure washer and their landscaping using a pressure washer to clean a roof. Brick walkway, assuming that it is brick pavers with mortar - downstream house wash mix or direct apply with roof mix depending on severity of staining. Pressure wash with surface cleaner using between six and one thousand psi. Efflorescence is not an issue with established brick walks when proper cleaning technique is used. If the walks are sand set pavers, go get trained before you quote. Carry yourself like you know what you're doing. Present the price like it's an everyday thing. Pretend that the job is yours but don't be surprised when they choke on the total. Do not spend any of the money that you expect to make on the job until after the job is complete and the check as cleared. Holler back
