    Lyle,

    Good to see you here, you've been AWOL for quite a while! Other active TGS California woodies seem to be MIA. For those not around for some time, Lyle does fine work.

    Shane,

    120 - 240 gals. of stain a week? Hope that is mostly shipping to other contractors. I'm glad we don't do many fences! That is a ton of stain.

    Mostly me 140 gallons on 1500 lft x 2 side start 2100 lft x 2 sides tomorrow that should take 200 gallons.

    I sell a lot to homowners tho who stain their fence themselves or hire cheaper labor.

    I don't ship from here in Houston if I ship it's out of Plano.

    Nice video...:cool:

    You have a pic of the deck floor stained after 3 yrs?

    I'm guessing you using the Wolmans cleaners too that looked like it cleaned up pretty easy?

    Man that 10 GPM pump kicks butt and it does look like it's more pressure than 1500 Psi the flow is crazy . I still cringe when i see a wand go that close to the wood but that's just me..I like to stay higher and get closer if needed i'm only 4 gpm tho.

    You use only Wolman's stains on your projects? Do you strip them when re staining?

    Thanks and nice video again...

    I was browsing a number of the sites I use to check weather and decided to do a search for 24 hour radar loops

    to get a better idea of what is in store and came up with this site:

    http://www.woweather.com/

    Found it to be quite informative but am looking for others input who may have used it.

    Rod!~

    I normally use weather.com but now i need flash to use the interactive radar and I'm on I-Phone who doesn't use flash. I also use our local t.v weather site that somewhat ok and also NOAA.gov

    Thanks for the link that site looks cool i'll check it out...

    Shane,

    Bingo! Short, sweet, and should be a law. Truer words have never been written until this moment concerning exterior wood care.

    Maintenance ...Maintenance ...It's how our business was built using one of the most easiest stains to maintain.

    I think there are enough easy maintaining stains Ie: BGA ,AC ,RS ,TWP now a days for companies to be very successful these days.Also for homeowners to maintain their deck themselves once they have it done by a professional if they decide to save $. I have no problems providing the stain for my customers they might do it for so long then they get older and decide to pay me to re stain again.

    There are the stains that's supposed to last 6 yrs plus and are nightmares to work with,It's a shame those bad products are sold to inexperience homeowners. Thinking it will save them $ and time from having to re stain it every couple years.Then they have to pay us to save their decks from a coating that is a nightmare to maintain.

    We all want our stains to get along with wood to make our job that much easier next time we clean and re stain whatever brand you use.

    We find that stripping usually requires multiple applications until the strip is complete.....then.....rinse.

    I had to break my guys of the expectation of the

    'one and done' attitude.

    Rod!~

    The one and done is so true Rod on some stains/coatings!

    Sometimes it takes you to break the bond of the coating then multiple applications are needed.

    Why test areas are so important then I get fooled every now and then but testing helps.

    yea, superdeck....

    linseed, tung and teak oils as i recall.

    I used them @ 5 years ago, went on nice....... and thats when the trouble started.

    Oils never dried properly and caught tons of mildew, had a dozen decks turn black.

    Was tough to get off too, same reason so oily, to bad the mildewcide in it sucks.

    best you test the wood to be sure you got it all off b4 you coat.

    Did it have Rosewood oil in it I think it was?

    I remember guys talking about mildew problems now that you mention it Phillip.

    P.S that's a cool dog in your avatar what kind is he or she Samoyed?

    This is actually not the first time people tell me about signature but on my screen it shows I have signature, right on the bottom there with phone number and all.

    Yes I see that Andrew i'm not sure why it shows up in your profile and not in your signature?

    It could be from the last server switch or something?

    You could try to delete it and try adding it again and see if that works.

    Thanks
