  1. I had to chuckle reading this post, it reminded me of when my brother in law borrowed a pressure washer we had. I told him to take the book with for answering any questions he might have...he left it, instead of putting the little tube in his jug of soap, he poured the soap into "the plastic box labeled 'cleaner'" he neglected to notice the word "AIR" above it, seized that engine block nice and tight...he's a doctor btw.


  2. Im looking for an enclosed trailer for my set up. the problem i am having is that i am looking for a set up where i can have a ramp as well instead of 1 or 2 doors opening in the back of the trailer. I cant find this anywhere unless i go for a monster size trailer. im looking in the smaller sizes like 5x8. anyone know of anything?

    I have a 6 X 12 enclosed, single axle, rear ramp door, side personel door.

    6 foot 1 inch height inside. Ladder rack. round matching masterlocks and tongue lock too.

    Nice crisp clean white.

  3. Well, Mike, funny how you conveiniently pop out of the shadows...done counting beans?

    I've had 12 whip hoses made...and 3 hoses repaired. In hindsight the cause of the leak was abrasions from other contact....the bill $80 and change, plus made direct contacts with others to subcontract from.

    I purchased my non marking hose form dultmeier....blue resisdue on sidewalks often.

    Yes, he does have an unique insight on things..


  4. My insurance agent has been phenominal, not only have they been able to save me and my business money, but they truly have shown signs of a company that cares about and for my success. They recently informed me that they are PA statewide and have been certified to expand into the state of Maryland....yes geico has been able to save folks 15% BUT their statistics calculate savings in the 37% range..

    PM or email me your contact info and I can pass it to them. Believe me you will appriciate what they can do for you. Dennis, Joe, Valerie, Brian, and Liz are some amazingly caring people, who have been recently recognized by the insurance industry...finished in the top 3.

  5. You know after realizing my calendar faux paz...I might be able to squeeze it into the plans for the weekend. I'll have to call Tom back and iron out some things.

    I know in the spring there was a crapload of vehicles on the parking lot when I met with John "ambien man" Tornabene...loved his big yellow truck.


  6. I must admit, I waited until 2003 to register to vote...2000 proved to be the mark of making the US a third world country....can't complete an election without a ballot box controversy. BUT thankfully my state wasn't the cause, so I felt it was my duty to utilize my right to vote...my business consultants all told me in 04 it didn't matter who I voted for, our plan would sustain either victor.

    SO 3 years later, I ask myself what is it going to take to get my vote in 08...should I vote for the guy in Days of Thunder, or the guy from Days of Thunder land, or is someone else the lesser of the evils we are all inclined to fear.....

    Key thing to remember, if you don't vote, you really have nothing to complain about...other than your laziness.

    Nice thread idea Jon. I've been voting ever since, local elections affect us all more than the national ones.


  7. When is it again? I'm planning a roof cleaning event that very same day to accomplish many things...the number one thing I will accomplish is elimination of the doubt a pressure washer can be used....if you can downstream...you can clean a roof without 12.5%...at $4.31 a gallon here...quite cost prohibitive.


  8. I still can't get over the spraying Degreaser on shingle roofs Idea That GARY so passionately loves. Oh well to each his own.

    This isn't about my roof cleaning methods mel, its about some new forums at the cleaner network. BTW try it on a roof, it works, and with hypochlorite being $4.25 a gallon here...I stick with what makes economic sense for me and my customers. Cleaner times june 2007 page 28...need a copy? I'll mail you an autographed copy.


  9. I have been doing some homework and I can't see where anybody has the status of being 'banned'. Perhaps a pm or email to Steve may clear any confusion, but then again as far as I can tell, only wild/weird email addresses have caused new users to be deleted.

    12 spammers at least a day has caused the issues with "joining"

    Ken, want my good graces? Give me some roofs to spray some hydroxide on! Your customers deserve the very best don't they?


  10. Some new forums are coming to the cleaner network site, if you are a member there stop in and check things out. One forum is to initiate an order for those who buy RPC Chemicals, another showcases projects completed with RPC Chemicals, and like many of the other sites have, a contractor finding feature. Might be a good idea to have a thecleanernetwork.com sticker:)...usually you get/got them with an order.
