I'm asking you all to vote each and everyday for the best charity organization I have ever been associated with. With your help, and if you spread this request to all the animal lovers in your life, we together can help www.LostOurHome.org save the lives of 1000's of pets this year. Please place your vote at the following link. And please vote each and everyday. Recently we (LOH.org) has slipped 27 positions, obviously a last ditch campaign by other organizations to push their supports to vote. So please help me and LOH.org save these pets lives by spreading the work and voting daily. Open a pet food bank & shelter to save pet victims of foreclosures | Pepsi Refresh Everything

Jim_Cooney replied to Little Buddy's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
I use this rig to lay down my secret receipt "sauce" on my large flatwork projects. I average 1 gallon per 1000 square foot of flatwork. I don't do roofs, no call for it in Phoenix. The few that I have done I included with house washes, and downstreamed everything. -

Here's what I built, less than $300 -
Oil Sponge HD: Oil Sponge HD Kitty litter works just as well as oil absorber, half the price. Once all the surface oil is gone, pre treat the spot with Oil Sponge HD. Let dwell 20 + minutes. Then hit it with 200+ degree water. If a shadow remains, apply more Oil Sponge HD, tell the home owner to lightly rinse the area once a week.

Jim_Cooney replied to Jim Gamble's topic in Business Topics & Tips
Great post Jim. Jim is a role model for the industry, and I have learned more from this man alone that a dozen others. Those that take Jim up on his free offer for advice and leadership will agree. The naysayers and lowballers will never grasp the concepts of how a truly professional pressure washing company can enjoy 80% + booked schedules with a profit margin any business owner can appreciate. Quality sells, and justifies the prices I charge, which is exactly what has made Jim's business so successful and makes him an industry leader. I just landed 12 new shopping centers. Meeting with the owner today who is flying in from California. 1 center, just over 50,000 square foot of flatwork and about a dozen dumpster pads, will go 4 times a year, with 3 heavy traffic areas being done once every 30 days (approximately 10,000 square foot). $0.12 a square foot, plus $85.00 for each dumpster pad area. His current "contractor" is charging him 1/2 that, but does crap work, if he's even cleaning them at all. I did a demonstration in front of one of the stores (a bakery). The concrete was black, his current "contractor" claimed he used everything, including acid and couldn't get the concrete restored. I spent less than a half hour and the concrete looks like brand new. -
Allison Super Suds Sucker manual ( 3-10 gallons )
Jim_Cooney replied to MichiganPowerWashing.com's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Good advice. If you're not taking the Allison Sud Sucker apart and thoroughly cleaning the spring and ceramic ball after each use, you can be assured it will not work properly. Not just singling out the Allison Sud Sucker, needs to be done to all downstream injectors. I prefer the Allison, it "sucks" better. -

Hydro Blasting
Jim_Cooney replied to Jim_Cooney's question in Having A "Blast" (sand, soda, dry ice, etc.)
Thanks folks for your responses. I passed on the project for several reasons, but am still looking into adding this service in the future. -
2 thumbs up for the Allison Ironhorse equipment. MI T M 3506 is a good skid. Can't go wrong with a Hydro Tek unit either.
