  1. I have the Craftsman 18 volt set with circular saw, drill, flashlight, two

    batteries, and charger. It holds up good for me, I've used it for everything

    you could probably think of it take's a hour to recharge so a third battery

    would be perfect. I'm looking for a cordless pw wand!!!!!!!icon10.gif


  2. That's the one, that model w/ a 250 gal tank starts at $7100

    The one I saw was was 500 gal and completely dressed out

    everyday people were stopping to look. It looked so nice it

    sold it self. Would'nt mind draging that around town. And what

    I mean by dressed out means hose reals and all, you can even

    get it w/ ladder rack on one side and stainless. Just a really nice

    looking rig if ya want to PAY!


  3. Does anybody have one of these, or know anything about them?

    I saw one at a gas station, almost wrecked the van I stopped and

    talked to the guy, he was just passing through,he was hauling it back

    to Virginia from Oaklahoma (where they are made) anyhow the one he had

    was sweet it had dual axel stainless rims (polished) and matching fuel and

    chem tanks. He said he could sell it to me on the spot for 16,000 and by the end of the conversation it was today only 13,000 well, came home did a search and this is what I found.

  4. EVER WONDER

    Why the sun lightens our hair, but

    darkens our skin?

    Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

    Why don't you ever see the headline

    "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

    Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

    Why is it that doctors call what they do

    "practice"?

    Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you

    have to click on "Start"?

    Why is lemon juice made with artificial

    flavor, and dishwashing liquid made

    with real lemons?

    Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

    Why is the time of day with the slowest

    traffic called rush hour?

    Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

    When dog food is new and improved

    tasting, who tests it?

    Why didn't Noah swat those two

    mosquitoes?

    Why do they sterilize the needle for

    lethal injections?

    You know that indestructible black box

    that is used on airplanes? Why don't

    they make the whole plane out of that

    stuff?!

    Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

    Why are they called apartments when

    they are all stuck together?

    If con is the opposite of pro, is

    Congress the opposite of progress?

    If flying is so safe, why do they call

    the airport the terminal?

  5. Pressure washed part time for 10 years, full time now for 2 years.I use to make paint the industrial stuff.Pure poisen.But it was good pay and benefits anyhow got layed off and thought it was the end of the world,ya right,next year were looking at managing 4 to 6 people.We also clean windows and do Parking lot/Grounds clean up.You can not count on a good job,You can always count on your self.


  6. I have four car dealerships I do and they love to see me so they always pay.I also clean eleven fast food joints of the same company it is corp owned so I have to fax in my invoice once a month to be payed,they always pay but i've waited three or four weeks to get it.I also clean the garden windows for Wendys and waited three months for a check.But if you step on the store managers toes they'll get it done cause you stop in and see them every time you go by their store and they love that.


  7. I was'nt looking at it like that at all.It did'nt even cross my mind but since you brought it up,Like you I live in the south and as you know the south is very religion oriented.I can honestly say that more than half of my customers have invited my family to their church,and I appreciate it because it may be a reflection of how they perceive me as a person.Or on the other hand maybe they think I really need help! LOL All that I'm asking is is it cool to send a card around the holidays with a coupon as a gift thanking them for your services they requested? Would they use the coupon, would freinds or neighbors?

    There was some discussion on this the same time last year.

    http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1009&highlight=christmas+cards

    As for what to put (christmas, "happy holidays" or whatever), go with what you feel. I know as a customer I *HATE* to receive those safe cards with trite messages like "happy holidays." It tells me that the sender thinks I will get offended if my beliefs to not align with theirs, and I know that I am not that weak as to be offended by such a thing. If someone sent me a card titled "Happy Jazmakwan," it wouldn't bother me one bit, even though I personally celebrate Christmas. It says to me that they celebrate it, and they are wishing positive spirit to me in the name of it.

    And if you are indifferent and don't celebrate anything, then what "holiday" can be happy???

    Probably not a very smart marketing idea, but personally I would appreciate a sender with some balls (or nerve to be more PC) over someone looking for the safe answer.

    Oh, and I don't send anything, although I do send "thank you" cards the next year for customers I think will have repeat business.


  8. Does anybody send their customers christmas cards? I'm sure some do,but is it just to say merry christmas and thank you? Or could you send them a gift of 25 dollars off there next house wash and maybe an additional coupon for their friend or neighbor.How about some ideas,it seems to me this could benefit us all !!! And it's not a bad idea to help them remember what a good job you did for them last May.


  9. How do you figure ratios? I have a 15 gal tank surflo set up.How do I measure 6% bleach to that 15 gal of water? Or 40:1 and so on.I now use one quart of bleach per gal of water and doing a black moldy roof I have do it again and again and then hit it with 500 psi.Is my solution to week? I hear that you can [with the right mix] spray on the bleach,TSP.water solution and rinse it with a garden hose clean.Is this true? Please explain.And Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!


  10. I was called to clean up somebody else's mess.Some guy did a 30 x 30 deck with pure bleach [clorox customer say's] and sprayed it all over the deck and other thing's that he thought needed cleaned like there plant's and shrubs! Anyhow the bleach is only one problem the tip and cut marks are the other and it's patchy lite to dark areas it looks like total destruction.And it only gets better the home owner wants to go with a clear sealer!!! I tryed talking them into a stain but they said only if it's a must.The good new's is this guy is my only competition in my town.Can anyone help?Can this be fixed to be able to seal it?I've been doing this for 12 years and never seen anything like this.I'll send some pic's when I go back out there.


  11. I just wanted to tell everyone thanks i'll use your advice to solve the problem.And to answer a couple of questions no I've never adjusted the unloader it is still set from the factory.General Pump told me that I could run this pump with 8 to 13 hp.The tips I use are the basic .15 .25 .40 degree. Where can I get a 8013 tip? Thanks again you are all very helpful,I love this site,sometimes I have to pry myself away to go make some $$$$.


  12. I just replaced my pump [ez3040G] did'nt have time to rebuild so now I have a spare.Anyhow when I'm running my machine it stutters or hickups for a while and then works out to steady pressure with a 40 degree tip 15 or 25 won't work at all.It also did this with the old pump so thats why I'm thinking unloader or unloader block because theres nothing else there other than the motor.Is this my problem? It's a cold water Landa Pc-2500 w\ a Honda 9.0 When I changed the pump I went from the general 3.5 gpm 2500 to a 4.o gpm 3000 general nun the less it did it with the old pump.Experienced help would be appreceiated.THANKS


  13. I am curently cleaning new car dealerships,fast food parking lots,enterance ways and homes.I was wondering how to get to the right person to clean malls,strip malls,wal-mart and new construction clean up?Any help would be appreciated.
