Looking to see what people have used in the past to stain their interior hardwood flooring in the house. I would like to use a water based product so the water based poly can sit well on top. Any suggestions?

Beth its a new unfinished floor.

Hello all I was asked to look at a job for a house thats probably a million bucks. Well you know after looking at the rear patio floor I was asked to powerwash it and put a stain on it. This deck is estimated to be about 24 feet wide by 120 feet long. If i did it by hand it would take foreever. I normally do everything by hand but I cant for this patio floor. Anyone have any ideas as to any power equipment to use ?

Does anyone have a proven faster method to cleaning gutters. I am tired of wiping down gutters by hand 35 feet in the air with a bunch of rags. My arms feel like superman after 5 hours. Can anyone please help with a faster method.

This job is in North Tampa Florida. It is a stained concrete driveway with a oil spot on it. The reason I am posting this lead is because it is a family member of mine. Contact me via email for any other info. hucableguy@sbcglobal.net

Today, I was informed by a condo association that they would like me to submit my bid for a few units. I asked do you have any other competitors involved in this bid. The association manager says yes we have another powerwasher and a landscaper to do the gutters. This is what gets me what does a landscaper have to do with a pressure washing. I was wondering if the forum can help me put together a few questions to have for the condo association to ask this landscaper. Maybe by showing them the answers to the question and having them ask the landscaper I could get the landscaper to not answer the questions right and wamm they condo association would go for my bid and work. So much help is needed from my team members on the board on some tough and articulate questions. Also it would be nice if the questions I ask would have some literature to back up the answers. Also just a little info on the condo. Tan with vinyl sideing white gutters

I was wondering what effect does hd-80 have on a vinyle sideded house wash. VS the new simpke cherry that is being used by pressure tek?

I received a call from a very wealthy person this rich person says hello did you place this card on my mail box I said im not sure what you mean sir. He says well your card was affixed to my mailbox post and as I removed your card the scotch tape peeled my paint from the box post. Has this ever happen to anyone.

Well deperate messures calls for desperate times. I have decided that I need to expand on certain things one of them being awnings. Well since work here is very slow I was hoping to turn to my fellow forum members for help and direction on awning cleaning. After going into 3 stores today and asking hello sir who services your awnings. 3 FOR 3 store owners answered no one. You are the 1st to ask and man do they look dirty. So of course my response is yes they do, would you be interested in having them cleaned. Well all 3 say yes and I informed them that I will put a proposal in the mail for them in the next few days. Well here is where I need help guys. The mortage has to get paid, kids school has to be paid, and every other bill behind it. Would anyone be willing to give direction via email, phone , or hands on help in explaing how to tackle the different types of awning cleaning. 1) Chemicals 2) Psi pressure on cold unit 3) rates 4) What to loook for on vinyle, and fabric awning Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks squirtgun for the reply anyone else out there keep it coming.

Well guys I received a call today from ym full time job that I am being layed off. This was my bread and butter to the mortage and my sons school tuition. The Painting and powerwashing supplemented the other bills. Well I guess the reason im writting is to see if anyone in the Connecticut area has a lead they can spare. I sure as heck will travel up to 1 hour from home on any lead so my family can still survive. Please email me or pm me if you have any lead info to spare. Thank to all glock40

Mike con grats on the addition to the family. Well where should I start 1) buy ear plugs for those long crying nites. 2) Find a rental property to get away from both the wife and the kid...haha 3) Be prepared to spend less on yourself, as the wife will say honey the baby needs this and that and this and that..... 4) But the most important of all is for a safe and happy delivery for both your wife and the little guy/girl who is on the way. Best of luck to your family

Anyone ever see the light white streaks that come from a old brick house. Its kind of a running effect throught the whole house. What is the best way to tackle this project. Can a per carb like the f-18 help to remove the streaks? And would my cold water unit help as well?
