I wear gloves when I mix chems or transfer them from my 55gal drum to my 5ers, other than that just when I am using HF or other nasties. Richard.

Biggest Job Bid this year
R L S replied to Rfitz's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Nice job, fill that account up!! -
Eye injuries are no joke. I would rather lose an arm than both my eyes. I was a welder for a company and a guy had a hot piece of slag go up under his hood and under his glasses. It landed right on his eyeball and burned it so bad that he lost his sight in that eye. PPE, it may look stupid but its worth it. Richard

Looking for unbiased equipment opinions ?
R L S replied to Michael Nardoni's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
All I have used are Landa and hotsy, I currently use a hotsy. Both are great in my opinion. I would say put your trailer together yourself if you have the knowledge and tools. Thats what I did and I made sure I had room to put everything that I needed. Plus its set up to your liking, if down the the road it doesnt suit you change it. Most rigs that I see were bought put together, just a tank, washer and hose reels, no room for chems, ladders, gas, fuel,tool box etc. It worked for me. Richard -

Never heard of that company. I would be leary of a direct drive unit you really want a belt drive, it will extend the life of the pump.1000 gal tank man thats alot of water to toting around, 4tons worth, 500 gal tank should be plenty in my mind. I stop spraying water when it is going to freeze soon or is freezing. I would recomend any product from eaco-chem. Hope some of this mumbo, jumbo helps. Richard

Ford and chevy trucks. I have owned 3 fords and 2 chevies. Cant seem to make up my mind. 5 monthsago I sold my Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 extendened cab and bought another ford. So I guess I ride in the middle. All mine have have been gas but next truck is going to diesel for sure. Richard -
On the other end of the spectrum, I have only used surface cleaners with wheels and I think they work just fine. Move extremly smooth, gets into tight areas just fine, no complants here. But then again wheeled ones are all I have used. Richard

I to am a one horse wagon and all I use for my business is my cell. I have a land line but thats just for internet and faxing. In fact if my land line rings I dont answer it because nobody I know has that number and I use only my cell number on all my advertising. I have used my fax to deliver bids to companies, fax insuracnce info to customers, lately I used it a few times for tax purposes with a company I have an account with they are in P.A so faxing is easier then snail mail. I would not get a land line just to be able to fax though, just me. Richard
