I still do the occasional wood job and was asked to bid on this. Never done shake before. How would I tackle this? Its moderately heavy mildew and the shakes are less than ten years old. Can they be walked on? I dont think i want to walk on them for the cleaning part, should I get a lift?
How do you guys normally do them?

I had a local guy put my pictures on his FB page. I commented that he stole directly from my website on every pic and posted my webpage. He ended up taking them down but now him and his girlfriend go on Google + and post one star reviews. Obviously a moron because they use their own names! Kind of funny actually and not worth the effort of a lawyer. His shoddy work is known throughout the region.

We've had more than 30 inches of rain in the last several Months in the Tampa area. I've only been delayed 2 days in all that. I Come to Atlanta for a Big job and it looks like we have to wait out a day or so cause of this front. Least TS karen fizzled out.

George clinton, MC Hammer, any old hip hop. Man I used to hate that music, now it's one of my favorite Pandora stations.

We see the same thing on travertine. A little strong bleach will disappear it.

Of course the very next day one of the guys couldn't come in. I think I need to work more just so Im ready to work when the time comes. Friday wore me out.

Yeah, John. You look like your really humping it in that pic.
I've finally gotten to the point that Im not behind the wand. I felt like I was falling apart, plus I have hernia surgery next week, so I had to slow down just when I'm balls to the wall busy and cant see a slow down on the horizon. My newest employee is almost 60 though. after 30 years roofing, this feels like easy work, but he's definetely not used to the florida heat. I still pull hoses, carry buckets, do what needs to be done, but no pressure washing and I get to sit in the AC wasting fuel. I feel really bad about that sometimes

Rain rarely causes sinkholes. It can because the acids erode the limestone. However, It is typically caused by the severe overpumping of groundwater. Central florida is more prone to them. So, join the crowd, john, just please don't complain when ground opens up. Or when your dog gets eaten by an alligator, our a hurricane comes through.
Every year the news shows some transplant whos dog got et saying" no one told me about alligators", or "they charge extra for sinkhole coverage?"
-
Swamped is good stress but man I'm ready for a slow down. Maybe october In NC for the fall leaves.

Warning. Older metal can be a $ sink. Like track cars.
Yeah, I had to give up my TR6 when my first child came. Too much money to keep one for a hobby.... And Im not sure which of the two that statement attaches more appropriately to.

One of the greatest died on the 6th of March. Always wanted to play like him.

you can't get out every stain. I've gotten to the point that I do not proposals based on description and online measurements. The phrase "as possible" in relation to removing stains is prominent in my agreements to avoid these problems.

John, is this a joke ?? Or are there a bunch of TWITs out there doing this?Oh seriously. Of course its a joke. Pretty funny too!

In 2010 I started pushing Paver sealing. Now I do 80% of my business with it. I'll still bid on commercial work and I'll do pressure washing of im already doing pavers.
-
I cant beleive this board only started in 2003! When i found it in 2005 or 2006 it had so much info on it I would never have guessed it was only a couple years old!
I got so much info here that the first deck estimate i went on I landed because I knew so much more than the next guy.
WOW! Thanks again Beth and Rod.

It can be used for concrete, but I don't. I've even seen it used on a fence once with some tint in it and it actually looked very nice. But again I wouldn't use it. Other things are better and I believe in using products for what they were meant for and SNL was meant for pavers.
The only codicil on that is travertine and natural stone. Its fabulous on those, but takes radically different application techniques.
You should really call Seal n lock and see when a local training session is happening. Attend it and see what it will do for your business.
Plus, feel free to call me. I have no qualms about helping out other contractors on the use of SealNLock. But you need to go to a class.
PS. Fix your signature. Im happy to help, but like to know who Im talking to. (Im surprised the signature police havn't gotten on you yet.)

Seriously?
Do a search under Paver sealing. I've been preaching seal n lock for five years now. Some don't like it but its saved my business! I had given up sealing until I ran across it. Now every manufacturer has a knock off,
-
If all you are doing is cleaning and resanding before sealing then no. you can pull a few pavers here and there and level them out easily. If you need to level ruts, you might want to bring in some one experienced. Pulling more than a few and compacting isn't a job you want to take on without some experience of you will be cursing your neighbor and she you for a long while.

I don't see how your lease has anything to do with maintenance. Maybe you expected more than was written in the lease? Or you wanted more than what was on a true lease?
I have two leases for my two skid units. I couldn't ask for better terms and for 36 months I have much more equipment than I could have had for the cash I had on hand. Plus having that cash slowed me to pay off my truck early, buy a new trailer with cash, and be able to expand in ways I wouldn't have been able to otherwise.
I think its the best decision I ever made. Im willing to bet you'll find as many that are happy as the opposite.
Dont just settle for the terms your local dealer gives you. There are plenty of leasing companies nationwide to compare. Doing one that works for you.
As for tax benefits, they will be different in canada than here. But congress can change any tax benefit at any time, so you can't use that as the only consideration.

Awww! That mean Paul Ryan didn't I use his awesome powers to force the mean Epa to accept the poor, destitute pw'ers contract! What a bad man! im changing my vote right now.
What stupidity. If he had done more, wom how would that story have been written.
'Ryan causes power washers to lose contact to company sending unsolicited bids!'
Seriously! Can't you people find better ways to bash Ryan.
