mike,
this is just to help pay for school and a new truck. Dental school is only a year and a half away!

i really like F-18 but i have used timberstrip on the last 4 jobs and seems to work a bit better i think?! But my season is done in 2 weeks and i couldn't be happier with how it went. Have 4 jobs booked for next season already and i hope i can book the entire month of may before spring break. This industry is a lot of work but it pays to be in it.

thanks for the great comments guys!

gotta start somewhere

Love the green two-tone! great new ideas for color scemes :)You really did do a great job around the balusters. They look like wood - no problem stripping around them?
I was going to strip the spindles but they didn't budge. So i just stripped most i could (2x stripping with the max at probably 12-13 oz) then the makita and osborne went to work. i did the top and bottom rail and post then applied another coat of green to cover up the over spray and such. Over all, about 20-23 hrs into the job.

Just updated my insurance through joe walters, supper affordable, and was also looking to file form 8832 to go from single member llc scheudle c to s-corp schedule to avoid the 15% self-employment tax. Do you guys think its worth the hassle?
Thanks, JL

So I was out on a job finishing up a big cedar deck when I check my phone and see 3 missed calls and 2 voice mails. At first I was thinking I’m in trouble or something but turns out its some lady who almost sounds like she is crying asking if I could wash her house. So I call her up and there was a storm that went through their town and the insurance was paying for her house to get washed before the guy comes out to assess the damage. Got the call Tuesday evening, had it finished in 2 hours on Wednesday (my day off). Who knew you could get $550 for a house wash? Oh it was a referral as well!

I just use the defelt pads for finish work because they are not durable enough...bulk of the work is delegated to the osborne brush.
-
i have 1 already, spindles not post
-
how do you gys deflet between the spindles?
-
yea so just got done stripping and brightening this deck...IT WAS AN ACRYLIC! I was able to get about 95% but man was i in a bad mood when i got there. The bill for this deck should have been $450 more than what it is, but they were still happy getting the wood back. Now i just have to defelt the crap out of it and stain. Im just gald my next one is just a wash and stain!
-
mine just got a bath today and the battery is getting recharged tonight...what a back saver.
-
it just seemed very sketchy from the get go...got my stain so i dont really care anymore. What did you have to do to let the driver leave it there without a signiture?
-
i'm kinda mad at sunbrite right now for throwing a curve ball and using this R & L carriers company thing...They left almost a grand worth of stain at the end of drive and didn't even notify us, the driveway is probably 300ft long. They didn't even leave a note on the door or anything for a signiture like fedex or ups do when they tried delivering in the middle of the day (probably going to leave it at the end of the driveway again)... also deliveried 4 days late.
But anywho, I'm also a fan of the Seal of Ready and my deckster as well. Is there a way to let sunbrite know that i do not want signiture conformation when you order or do they not even look at the messages?
-
just got my deckster in the mail today. That thing is going to get a workout the next two weeks.
-
top and bottom first then finish with the solid green right?
-
What do you guys think of the Black Night belt drives at sunbrite? I don't think im going to get a skid or trailer for a while, but would like something to speed up the house washing. I have an excell right now which is 2.2 gpm or something and runs like a dream (5 yrs old and still kickin).
Still waiting for the deckster to get here as well. It's getting to the point where my job is getting in the way of scheduling (Menards building materials), so i think im going to start marketing to make my decision easier.
Any who, those washers seem to be the same price as the one at northerntool, but i hope much better performance.
Thanks, JL
-
do you mask off the base of the spindle or make a carboard jig to go around the base? Just wonder how others do it...
-
rick, congrats on the 3,001 posts lol...I'm going to work my deckster like a dog, i hope, and where do you get the ready seal shirts?
-
i wish the deckster came powder coated in royal blue...that would be nice
