  1. Water Pressure Problems

    Your feed line from tank to pressure washer is probably not large enough. For an 11hp 4000 psi direct drive machine you will need at least a 1inch inside diameter feed line (depending on length of feed line). For belt drive, you will probably need 1.5inches. Hope this helps
  2. How to approach homeowners?

    I don't think the door hangers work well here in FL. I put out 200, got 1 call which turned into 1 sale for a $160 tiny patio. Maybe that's not enough to base my conclusion?!?! It took a long time to pass out 200 fliers! Incidentally the guy called me 2 months after I put out the door hangers...
  3. Beat by a lowballer, super lowballer!!!

    I had a similar experience just this week. I knew this lady was cheap from the second I spoke with her on the phone. You know the type... I go to the house (on Palm Beach - Very Rich Area - $million plus) and tell her $350 for the roof (white tile / no gutters) and another $75 for the driveway. I quoted a bit high on purpose. She said she got it done way cheaper than that "8 years ago". I said the lowest I can go is $350 and she said she needed more quotes. I said how much did you think it would cost? She said $150 range. lol Fast forward 2 days. I called her and she said on the phone another guy is going to do this for $200. I immediately said is it "company name"? Of course it was. It was the same guy who always lowballs every job he bids on. He also gets a lot of work because I've seen his trucks everywhere. ugh... I don't want that job for $200 though. He can have it...
  4. THE COOLEST RIG on the planet!!!

    Are there pics of "Nick's beast"???
  5. THE COOLEST RIG on the planet!!!

    a few more closeups.
  6. THE COOLEST RIG on the planet!!!

    Just saw this the other day at home depot. This guy spent some cash! The detail on this rig is just flawless. He even had elastic covers made for the surface cleaners (probably so they don't drip). The 2 inch blue hose towards the front of the truck is the fill hose.
  7. Need PW Maintenance Contract

    I need to look at someone's maintenance contract for pressure cleaning. I just picked up a $780 job for 3 times a year. This is actually my first commercial job because residential pays so much more. I thought we would give it a shot though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  8. Stripping Sealer from Pavers

    They said the sealer came from Home Depot if that helps any...
  9. Stripping Sealer from Pavers

    I have no clue. How could I tell and how would I remove each? Many thanks!
  10. Stripping Sealer from Pavers

    Anyone know how to strip sealer off of pavers? The pavers are very porous and have a few coats of milky looking old sealer. Any help would be appreciated.
  11. Va Tech shootings

    I cancelled my subscription to the Palm Beach Post for the very same reason. Hopefully this path will change someday.
  12. Va Tech shootings

    MY RANT: If I had to blame someone, I would blame everything on the leftist media. This country is turning socialist, which is a stones throw from communism. Taxes for instance are absolutely killing American small business - as well as every productive member of society. Taxes have forced us into 2 income households which has a terrible longterm effect on our children. You put your kids in daycare (because you have to) and expect someone who makes $7 per hour to raise your kids with honor, respect and integrity. It's just not possible. In an ideal situation, a mother should be home with her kids while the father works - or vice versa. Someone needs to be there - NOT some 19 year old who can't wait to get off work and go home to smoke pot with her boyfriend. [no offense to anyone - its just my opinion] Here are the top (and only) 6 headlines on Yahoo at this moment: 1 Pilot killed in S.C. Blue Angel crash 2 Tech gunman bought ammo clips on eBay 3 Mass shootings more common since 1960s 4 U.S. soldiers' deaths in Iraq hit home at military academy 5 Washington governor signs domestic partner bill 6 California officials impose quarantine to stop moth's spread #1 Real news #2 They say this like it's a crime. This is the left's way of using information to convince people that the govt should take our guns away, so we are completely dependent and controlled. Without guns, we are helpless at defending ourselves if the govt becomes too powerful and communistic - which is the MOST important reason to own a gun. Because of stories/headlines like this, eBay will ban the sale of ammo clips (like clips actually killed someone). This is a neverending onslaught of socialism. If anyone gives up their gun, the left will win and you will forever be a pawn in someone else's game. #3 Again, hit people with the information that will change their minds to the leftist view. One headline isn't enough - lets try two. #4 The left hates Bush, so why not always have a headline which does not support the war in any way. I don't even like Bush but we are in this war and have to finish it. Whining will not help the cause. Where are the good stories about Iraq? I'm sure there are at least a few!?!? Media headlines are ALWAYS negative on the war. Since day 1, this has been happening and it does NOT help the situation. #5 Most Gays are left - If you are born gay, that's fine. Just don't try to convince families that they are wrong by raising their children in a 2 parent household. It seems like every channel on TV has someone gay and gays only make up 6% of the population. This is NOT the norm for society and never will be. Additionally, as many gay parents will raise decent children, it is not the "ideal" situation for a child. Kids need good/positive male and female influences in their life. I've never seen 2 gay men concieve a child together. It's just not possible! #6 Real news [another California Law on the books which makes CA seem like it's a revolutionary lawmaker with all good intentions. This is just not true. There is no other state with more socialistic laws than CA. Again - The left tries to bring credibility to a state where almost none can actually be found.] That's 5 out of 6 headlines that are part of the leftist agenda. Look at Yahoo and other media headlines/outlets each day and you will see how left they actually are.
  13. Va Tech shootings

    What a terrible tragedy. Things like this hurt the whole country. CNN can't stop talking about lack of gun control, which is searching for an answer that doesn't exist. If a person snaps, knowone will be able to stop them. I have the unpopular belief that if everyone carried a gun (or at least the professors), this would never have happened in the first place. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a child.
  14. Power Washer's Work Wasn't Clean

    I'm not condoning what he did and I would never do it myself - but really - if the temptation got to me, there is no way i'd tell anyone! I sure would be taking a lot more Bahama's trips in my boat though. lol
  15. Power Washer's Work Wasn't Clean

    Hi folks! Haven't been on here in while but I thought I'd share this news story. Looks like the guy was making a killing until his luck ran out. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060511/ap_on_fe_st/stolen_gasoline
