  1. 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? ------------------
  2. Cordless Tools

    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!!!!!!!

    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!

  5. Frustrated - Venting

    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. http://www.powercleansystems.com/index.html?Body=/PowerCleanHead.html I hope this link works,let me know if it does'nt

  9. Part-Timers....what is your day job?

    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.

  12. 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.
  13. Getting Paid

    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.
  14. Christmas Cards

    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?

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!!!

  21. 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.

  23. 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
  24. 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 $$$$.
