The first pictures make them look so much bigger. I love those results.
I did a lot of awning research, went out knocking on doors, did a couple with what I had available, that turned out great, then ordered the starter kit from one of the companies that specialize in awning chems. Started handing out professional flyers, showing the pics of my work, and.... havnt gotten one job since. I think I over knowledged myself. Too much research. Que sera!

I looked at home depot, no such thing, and no one could figure out what I was talking about.
do you have a specific brand or name it comes under?

You know, this is a really good idea.
I had a place that did some therapy for my kid when he was little, I know they could use a cleanup, and I owe them one. cant do it this week, but Im going to offer for whenever they do.

I had a similar problem recently, in that each time I idled for a couple minutes or more, It took 30 to 60 seconds to get full pressure back. I took the unloader out, and there was just the tiniest amount of dirt in it, cleaned it out, and no more problems!
might want to give that a try.

Carpenter ants!
I cleaned this guys tile roof last month that had years worth of leaves in each valley and packed full gutters. I dont know how many seperate carpenter nests I disturbed, but I was brushing ants off me the whole time.
wish I had taken pictures of the 3 foot tall and 1 foot wide bromolaid growing in the valley.
He wanted to make it look nice for selling! Jeez.
-
if there small limbs, offer to cut them down for them, for a fee of course. I only ran into it once and priced it into the roof cleaning to cut them back enough to work.
couldnt say what to do if there big, but they probably arent good to have laying on the roof and probably should be removed. I know here it is advised to cut limbs back, mostly for storm purposes, I think

byoungster,
How did you wire it? what model. was it a garage door type remote or a lighting/fan type remote.
I went to HD today and was lost. (no I found my way about.) the guys there didnt have any ideas.

I held it as close as 2 feet. If a screen is going to tear, it will tear with any tip held too close. I did blast one screen out, but the homeowner said it was very degraded. what I look for now is whitish spots on the screen, that tells me it will probably tear.
-
I did one screen enclosure that was full of oak pollen, very similar in that it works its way into the holes and just doesnt blow out. the roto jet did wonders. it works like a tornado and just twists them out. cant see why it wouldnt work on pine needles.
the homeowner said that he just had his lawn guy blow as much off as he could, and I probably couldnt make a difference. His screen was spotless when I got done!

we new more PWers in florida like we need more holes in our heads. but there is lots of work for quality companys. just have to get by the cheapness genes that run deep.

how did you clean or strip it.
I ask because we have a lot of water front here on the gulf of mexico. I see a big market but am not sure about stripping over water.
-
is gray away a cleaner? if so what about water issues.
-
You can also use a product called Quarry Tile Cleaner, It is an acid based product that will really bring out the tough stains, need to brush it with stiff brush and then rinse. EcoLab makes it along with other manufacturers. can probably pick it up at any restaraunt supply house.

I just did a clean and seal on a whole house, Sealed with v-seal 101. I clean with a steam cleaner. sealed using a bottle, going line by line, but I should have just poured and squeeged on.
as for cost, the v-seal is about $25/gallon after shipping and I think I used less than 1 gallon, floor was a mix of 6 and 8 inch tile. total of 900 SF.
my price wont make a difference as this was a "please come do it now, Im moving in and have to have it tomorrow" job and yours is commercial.
Good luck

my pump is a gear reduction pump that should pull with no problem, I use braided line, with no valves or anything else in between pump and outlet.
Ill try the larger diamater line and shorten it to see if that works.
thanks for the replies.

Nathan,
your opinions are well thought out and well spoken. the disagreements are what make these boards so interesting. no one is really getting there undies bunched up over this. you should see the arguments and personal insults and attacks that take place on some of the other boards, but in the end everyone has a good laugh and goes on to the next argument.

the tank is above, the line is 6 feet

I have a CAT 45G gear reduction pump on a 4/4000 machine with a pressure actuated unloader. The problem I have is when hooked to the tank, It takes 15 seconds to upwards of 60 seconds to build up pressure. I've made sure there are no air in the line and the line is 3/4". When hooked directly to the water source it does not do this. The dealer said it has to do with the temp sensor, that after it is idling for a while, the temp sensor bypasses the unloader to reduce temp. and when this happens it allows air in the unloader. (thats as close as I can remember to what he told me anyway.)
Obviously this is a pain in the butt, and on a 3 hour job yesterday that took a lot of hand scrubbing, I probably wasted 20-30 minutes. Not acceptable. what can I do to aleviate this delay in pressure build up? I dont have to use the tank most of the time, but there are some commercial jobs Im bidding on that will require it.

looks great, what did you end up using, and how did you do it, lift or walking?

I was just talking to the local cabot dealer who said you did not need to prime with the solid stain. who is right. and why.

I just bought peechtree accounting 2005 so I could write my own checks instead of using a leasing company. trouble is, they charge an extra $179 for the tax tables. Is this normal?? Does quicken charge for these also? Anyone know where they can be gotten so I can manually load them into the program?
