They are great. I own two pairs of the pink ones. I also hold a pink umbrella over my head when I'm power washing. I don't like the backsplash. J/K!!!!!
I have the H/D or Lowes black boots. They're fine but very uncomfortable! I put a pair of Dr. Scholls and now they love me back.

Daniel,
You're out of your mind. Applying HCL will super damage the substrate, plus will pull out the color in the block. You will be left will a bigger problem than what's at hand.
Mel,
Call Art Greene with Specialized Cleaning.

Send him the pictures. He does this type of stuff for a living.

LOL....yes.

I would personally stay away from this. I've done several split face block and the efflor is a huge problem and very difficult to alleviate.

Congratulations!

Also may be a belt going bad (starting to slip). I recently had that happen to a machine and it had a flame burning out of the exhaust for about 3 hours after it was shut off.

HA HA! LOL!
Hydrotek all the way. I have 3 and am getting two more at 8GPM.
A 5-6 GPM machine hot water to 200 degrees is the least you'll need. I started with the Hydrotek SS3005VH which is the 4.8gpm at 3000psi. The first time I used one with 3500psi and 5.6 gpm I was amazed at how much faster I could clean. It just ripped. I can't wait for the monsters to come.

Thanks! That was pretty much what I had heard as well. It's still under warranty and with only 50 hours it better not start breaking down already. It's a starter boat for me and my daughter so I didn't want to get too fancy. I think it'll work just fine!
-
1:4 is standard cutting. More or less depending on your situation. If you are X-Jetting full strength then I'd cut it 1:2 in your bucket so you end up with a 1:4.

I believe they're made on the coast- I'll call a dealership and check 'em out. If anyone wants a little vacation on Lake Havasu let me know!

Hey, I just got your message on the other phone. My secretary wrote it down but I was out of the office all of last week. Give me a call on my cell sometime-

A little advice probably a little too late... I just bought this boat on eBay. It looks pretty nice and the little info I've gotten on these boats they sound OK. It's a good deal from what I've gathered from the used boat values.
Does anyone have experience with this boat or have any advice on it?
I hope I didn't buy a piece of garbage but I'll have to deal with it if I did!

I'll let you know when I'm going to buy mine, we'll see where you're at. It'd be nice to get the prices down.

John T-
I'm definately going to get one, probably in the tune of 6-8 weeks out. Tracy from Sunbrite called me and we worked out some numbers but there's always room for improvement. How far are you out from getting one?

It worth it! Go for it!
In 3.5 years (2 full time) I've grown our company into a very solid entity. Here's what works for us now:
1 person doing books, answering calls (in the office), paying bills, payroll and helping with personal bills and organization.
1 Crew Leader. He's responsible for keeping up the equipment and making sure the crews are doing what they're called to do. He get's work orders directly from me over the phone and basically runs the day-to-day operations out in the field. He will do work if an employee is sick and manages their time in the field.
6 laborers. Two of them are very good and can operate rigs by themselves if needed.
I do the estimates, problem customers, sales calls and keep everyone on track.
This managing technique is working for us very well. The only time things go crazy is when we get the 1 to 2 week jobs at night. We're doing one right now that takes 4 rigs running (6 employees) and will go for 14 days. My solution for this is to cut back on the employees and get a machine that can do the work of 10 rigs....ALAS, the SWABBY!

Bad idea! You will find that you are always better off on your own. I've taken on partners 3 different times and didn't learn my lesson!
-
How many hours on the machine?
-
OK. So get it wet, apply with mixture of TSP and bleach? Mix how many oz/gallon and dwell time? Pressure wash cold water.
Let it dry thoroughly before application of sealer?
Thanks guys.

A potential customer's house was severely burned in a fire. Our GC is gutting it down to standing wood. Basically the whole framing of the house is still OK.
My question is, has anyone done fire restoration on wood? What chems can I treat it with to take out the smell and restore it?
Thanks in advance.

Credit cards are the #1 way for people in power washing to finance their business. I'd guess that everyone does it. I've been in business for 4 years and still to this day I have credit cards. They're essential.
There are other ways to get money for your business though. Some good ideas are posted on www.entrepreneur.com

Listen to Jim.
scarifier, grinder (with vacuum preferrably), or a small shot blaster. Go to your nearest Equipment rental outlet and they can help you. Normally you can charge 1-2 bucks a foot. Sometimes it's more. We've done removal jobs where we charged upwards of 4 bucks a foot.

Safe Restore is pretty good, it works great at getting mineral stains out of concrete. I have 24-5 gallon buckets in storage.
So I guess nobody has DR.
Thanks for the replies and help.
New Boots I am trying out.
