I hate when things get flooked up

Sprayer Cart
Adrian replied to Little Buddy's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Pat, I have a lid for the deckster with hose notch cutouts. I move that thing all over the yard if I need to. The hoses are surrounded by o rings in the lid. It will spill a bit if it is top[ped off and moved. but usu. if it is full, I have already found the right location to start the spray and don't need to move it for a while. but it is doable. -

Jim, is this a roof/ wood combo unit? or just roof? or just wood? ( how do you regulate 3.6 gpm for the wood...... at the wand?) The thing I would add to it is an iced tea cup holder and an ashtry. It looks great though. Very nice work. -

What pressure washing forums are you aware of? TGS PT *** ***** Cleaningtalk Cleaning network NCE My favs of course are TGS, ***, and the corner bar PT State. These three have without a doubt been the most helpful for knowledge and growth for my company. ........ there must be a few out there where war is not waged though....... just curious. Thx.

Pressure Washing Management Guidelines - Newbies!
Adrian replied to newlook's topic in Documents, Forms & Proofs
It may be a direction she would like to take. But still..... not for me. Even if it is free right now Ron, the GL's that 'los posted are simply no different from any other employee file format that a properly run company would follow anyway. Don't really see how that is a member benefit. My interest will only be sparked when I can see ( from the outside ) that the foundation will actually support the mountain this time around. But, it may be right up her alley. That's a super duper suggestion Ron **********. You are the maaaaaaaaaan !!!!!!!! -

Please go to your "settings" and complete your signature line. House rules. Welcome to TGS. I seriously doubt that you will get a copy of these guiddelines as Carlos is not around anymore. However, someone who may have recieved it from him earlier may have a copy to share with you. Again, welcome to TGS. -
Just found out my girl Cindy will be in Houston this Friday evening. It will be nice to see her again. My wife will be there as well to scoop me up off of the floor ( again). Life is pretty freakin saaaaaweeeeeettttt !!!!!!! Hey, there is nothing wrong with butt smooshing two beautiful women at the same time. How often does that happen?
-
I'd have to ask my wife, but I hear downstreaming is a pretty good way of delivering chems. lol.
-
So what......... I touched her butt. Did I mention I touched her butt.
-
Yeah but I touched her butt Jeff and you have no idea :)

Right on, I mean, we work with water anyways, so what's a little rain? ........... unless of course you are staining that day...... ugh!!!!!

How do you clean a blue stone patio?
Adrian replied to LTCCleaning's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Right on. You will like it here. It's one of the cooler places to be as far as forums go. You can learn alot as you progress here. Just avoid the drama of some of the "vets" here,( they are all old and cranky, like me, and don't get enough sleep) and you will pick up on some great tips. Alot, in fact most of the folks here are the very ones who are forging the future of this industry and have been in it since it's infancy. I think Ron ********** is like 1000 years old. Kidding Ron. Beth and Rod are like 800 yrs. old. ( but Beth doesn't look a day past 27....... hope I saved my butt on that one) I have less than a decade to my name, but feels like a 1000 yrs. But you are at the right place for sure Tom. Learn to use the search function as well before you ask a question in a new thread. Because it has probably been asked a 1000 times before. ( don't say I didn't warn you on that one). Some of these old dogs will bite your finger off if they find you haven't done any research before you post a question. Feel free to show off your job pictures too. That way the free world can see your work and it might land you a job. Plus it helps us help you with questions on projects bidding cleaning solutions, basically what to,.... and what not to do. My best suggestion is to keep an open mind as there are many different approaches by many different contractors. It's good because it helps YOU find your way on your own what is best for your company. blah blah blah blah blah..... again welcome to TGS. -
I'll do resi or wood in the rain any day of the week. I love it. It's alot easier on the bones than 95 degrees and no clouds. Doesn't really affect the wash or strip mix. Unless of course it is raining sideways and you are playing the "lightning rod" game. It's good to go. Plus, think of all the rescheduling needed for a few drops or light shower cancellation.

Right on Rick. Haven't seen this one, and it's right up my alley. Even has a repair section. That's why I love this place...... so much info to be had. It's bookmarked. Thx again.

..... and down goes the hatchet....... Earl I hope you realise that "See Dirt Run" are one of the biggest names in this industry and you can't simply take their logo. That's kind of like me saying that I am going into the soda business and taking Coca Cola's logo because it would work so well for what I am trying to accomplish. Good luck on this one man.

Good eye Pat.

Common practice for resi washes is to pre wet all of the grass and plants that are near the area to be washed. Keep it wet DURING the resi wash process. Then post rinse everything one more time. Then rinse everything again if you feel downright unsure of the previous rinses. Also include the trees that are higher up near the resi. If there are neighbors resi that is close to your cleaning area, .... rinse theirs as well to avoid a negative phone call later. The 12% Sodium Hypochlorite can and will cause damage to and KILL landscaping when used incorrectly. Practice on your own property first,..... especially when you get your x-jet, or Downstreaming setup. That's all the free help you get from me until I ( and all of us here at TGS) know who you are.
