Chesapeake

I had a pair of Helly Hansen pants that lasted for a while. They kept me dry, and were so thin, they were actually comfortable to wear. I've bought the $20 bibs with jacket, and the crotch usuallly rips out the first day, not to mention they are bulky.

I never used it either and it's not necessary. I'd be careful if you do, because it can etch glass.

Doing some remodeling here. I'm putting up 2 piece crown molding in my office, hallway, and living room. Replacing flat wood doors with 6 panel painted doors. And trying to get half the house repainted before the warmer weather arrives.

The powdered bleach from soft wash systems makes 90 gals. of shingle strength mix, or 270 gals. of house washing mix per 45lb bucket.

Anyone interested in a deck wash and seal, perhaps even a deck restoration in Clinton,MD? If so please contact me and I will forward you the information. Thanks

Thanks for the product info. I think I may have scared them away with the price. Its a steep roof and will be a lot more work than what the customer seems to think.

Anyone ever treated a cedar roof with bleaching oil or a 50/50 blend of bleaching oil and weathering stain? The customer wants the roof cleaned, but wants to keep the weathered look. I would plan on washing with a percarb. and following with oxalic, but I know this is going to bring the roof to the "new cedar look". Any suggestions on a sealer that will give the weathered look? There are multiple buildings on the property, and the owner is not interested in one roof looking new and the others old.

I usually use a light mix of F-13 to clean the black streaks off my white enclosed trailer. Downstream it on, brush the trailer, and rinse it off. This isn't going to get the rust off though. Try some rust-aid or super iron out for that.

Thanks Andrew. Yea, the entire setup was laid out by me. I had been thinking about it before I ever got the truck. My friend and I built the ladder rack and mounted the boxes. I painted everything and my father and I mounted all tanks, reels, and the machine. I even did the signs.

I agree with Guy. You gotta sell yourself and show the customer how choosing your company will benefit them. Create a professional image. As for your friend, $325 sounds like a weekend warrior price, not the price a professional cleaning company would give. 80 linear feet? Is it a row house or town home? I just can't picture a home that size otherwise. Just make sure your not selling yourself short, and deffinately plan on using chemicals.

Thanks Nigel. Are you referring to the Sunbrite seminar or the Window Cleaners event? The Sunbrite seminar was the same day as my wedding reception, Lol. So missing that would've been a bad way to start off the marriage. As for the Window cleaners event, it was raining so hard here, I didn't even feel like leaving the house. Hopefully, we can all get together again sometime this year.

I've run a trailer setup for close to 10 years. Last fall I bought a flatbed and recently switched everything over. It's gonna take a few weeks to get use to everything being in a different location, but I love not having to pull a trailer. The flatbed is set up with a 5.5gpm hot water skid, 275gal. tote, 125gal. roof cleaning chem tank, 3 35gal chem tanks, delavan, and hose n reels. I'm hoping to add another hot skid sometime this year.

I run demand pumps. On my trailer setup I had a 5800 wired into the battery on the skid. That way it was usually recharged everyday that it was used. On my flatbed I run the Fatboy, and have it wired into the 2 truck batteries. Its charging on the way to the job and charging on the way home.

Flood-Restora is an excellent product. I only got a chance to use it on one job, but was very pleased with the results. Tim, if you want to share who may still have some, please feel free to pm me the info. Thanks.
