I don't think I could drive this.

I would not do this house being your first one. I try to avoid painted aluminum houses ,chalking or not. Being that it is prep work for a fresh paint job it should go fine.. Go for it...

The price gouging trickles way down the line.My buddy went to trade his Durango in today for something a little better on gas and the dealership offered him $3000.00 under what he should have normally received for trade in.The average person is really gonna take a beatin till we pull out of this situation. :lgsad::lgangry:

Is it possible to set up scaffold?

Jon, would you have thought differently if it was your property they wanted??

Shane,they work great for spraying chemicals.set up properly,charge it with air and chems.,you can spray all 5 gallons.no pumping at all.if anyone needs details,shoot me an email.

These sprayers are the way to go. I use one every day. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67137&item=7520079352&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

I was going by the prices listed above.Their figures must be wrong

were talking dollars not cents

There seems to be alot of product politics on this site.$50.00 for 5 gallons of applicable stripper is flat out crazy.I am no chemical scientist and can make 5 gallons of stripper for about 1 dollar.You guys should really look into making your own.

Thanks Shane,will do.That swivel tip seems like the ticket..

Shane where did you purchase your wand setup??

I have been getting a few deck jobs and was looking at the Deckster wand with thumb wheel adjuster.Anybody use this(good or bad)?I was thinking of ordering one for my shurflo to apply stain.I think the adjustment would cut down on applying excess stain in certain situations.

Fullblast,sounds like your at the end of your rope with that job.Tie a knot and hang on.Nightmare jobs arrise once and a while.Post a pictured of her rain ruined deck and one of the seasoned Woodies on this site should be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck

I am not a deck man -99.9% hoods.About 8 decks so far this year just kinda fell my way.I used ReadySeal on all and this stuff is really dummy proof.I used my shurflo which I use to apply hood cleaning chems to apply the cleaner(straight Wallmart bleach with a squirt of Dawn)Brightener(oxalic acid from my chem supplier)and the stain(ReadySeal).All your drips,runs etc.really do as advertised.These deck suprised the hell out of me.They turned out awesome.Also had to strip 3 of these decks and used sod. hydroxide.On the first stripping I used the Sod. hydroxide right from my hood cleaning mix.Big mistake.I had to spend 4 hours sanding before staining because of fuzzies.On the next one I cut my sodium hydroxide flake mix way down and just kept the deck wet for 20 min.Fuzzies were minimal.Tarping the deck to spray spindles sounds like a pain.
