  1. Thoughts on a Landa rig!

    RJ, There's a Landa dealer up the road from you in Cheasapeake if you need to compare prices. By the way, your signature says a fule time LEO. What is a LEO
  2. What to do with new help?

    I am leaning toward giving him a second chance. I only got 4 calls from a help wanted ad and 2 of those could not drive.
  3. Mulch Fungas on houses

    I got a caal last week from a guy in Pittsburg that has developed avery thick substance to put on shotgun fungus to get it off. He said it needed about 90 min dwell time. He asked me if I would try some out and he was going to send me a pint or quart to try. I have avery bad area on our church I could test. I have not seen any of it yet. As soon as I get it I will try it and let everyone know how it works.
  4. What do you guys do when....

    We wait for the customer to call us if I don't close the deal on site. We have been so busy without following up. I hire some help this week and might hire another one. Then we will be following up on all of the proposals.
  5. What will work for sealing a trailer floor

    Try going to Northern Tool and get some of there Hercules paint on bed liner. I put it on my trailer and it work pretty good. I needed to redo it after 2 or 3 years but the wood already had chemicals in it. It looks good too.
  6. Where to bur borax?

    Where can we get the best price on borax? I found it at the chemistry storefor $1.36 lb or $75 for 55 lbs. I also fornd Boraxo at $25 per case of 6 boxes or 35lbs. Shipping from Soaps Gone Buy - Where Soaps of yesterday are found Today! for boraxo is $20. WIll Boraxo and just borax work the same of roofs?
  7. Pressure washing Composite deck

    We are having pretty good luck with Flood Composit deck cleaner. It will be in stores soon. You can get it from Sun Bright now.
  8. Window Cleaning Pricing

    Robbie, I don't know about what to charge but how are you going to clean them? I have seen videos of window cleaners cleaning 5 story high window wint DI water from the ground. I have a couple of tanks for di water but the job I planned on using them on fell through. With di you can clean with a brush and then rinse and your done.
  9. Ladder Standoff

    I agree with John. We got our removable stabilizers from Sherwin Williams or Lowes. Made by Werner Ladders. We also have a little giant type made by werner that cost half of little giant. Good and sturdy.
  10. Am I crazy

    Grand kids are great and we can send them home after we spoil them.
  11. 5.6 up high

    I bought a pump ( haven't used it uet) that works like a jet well pump. You hook your wand on the down stream end and then it will pump out 10 times more water then you lare putting in. The discharge hose is 1 1/2. It would work good to pump out a basement or pool or the like. Even to fill your water tank. It only cost $100.
  12. Does anyone have any experiance with Cambrea wood. It is a south aamerican wood. It has CWF on it now and most of it is gone. I need to stripp and reseal or stain. Most likely just seal it. I know to use low pressure but what about treatment and should I use sod. hydroxide to clean?
  13. Cambrea wood

    I believe it had CWF flood on it for a couple of years. It is mostly worn off except around the edges. The customer would like it to look naturel. This is the first time I have been to this customer and we would like it to last a couple of years.
  14. Here comes the calls

    I like the calls also, lots of them. Only thing is some of them want the work done yesterday. I had a contractor call this morning at 7am, I saw him about noon. He wanted 90 decks and 24 patios, all small done this evening. We did the patios and will do the decks next week. I still love the calls coming
  15. X-jet

    You can shoot rather high downstreaming if you use a 1/4" hose barb on a quick conect. We have done that a few times and I know other guys that do it. We use the M5 mostly.
  16. I am in need of anextension wand. We are getting into more roofs and I need an extension wand. I have a 45' coress. We have not used it for a while and the poles and coroded together. The last time this happened we were able to get them apart, but not this time. Is there anything as good as a coress that can go out 40' feet or more? Does anyone have one they want to sell?
  17. Extension wand

    I got a couple of sections I needed and saved some money. I got them from Glen Shepard at Pitch Witch. Steve does not sell the Magnum Wand anymore, He is just selling chemicals.
  18. Extension wand

    Very Carefullly! It was only 40' but we use when we need to use the Pitch witch on the roof. I have seen vieos of guys cleaning 7th story windows with a water fed pole. I think there is a guy on the roof with a rope atach to the end to help control it.
  19. I have not used my deckster for fences but I will not use a surflow any more. The deckster works great and you can adjust the pressure. I got mine from Sunbrite Supply. I don't think anyplace else has the deckster.
  20. Aluminum Roof Help

    If it washes off and you are left with a dull finish take a look at Dakota AG Innovations, LLC.. This is used on dull finishes. I did a test yesterday on a faded Penski rental truck a guy had bought. You colud see where the old decals were and this stuff made it look like a new paint job. This might not be the answer for a new roof but worth a look.
  21. How small is your trailer?

    John, WIll you use hat for your Swabby? lol
  22. Could someone help me out? I looked a job today and I need to clean some railing that is white sandstone. It is not so dirty but stained. The stains look like they could be from leaves but they said they did not think they were. Another pw'er used clorine on it last year but it did not come clean. I thought I would try some 12% on it and then some oxcylic on it. WOuld the oxcylic hurt the white stone. They also have a patio that has bluestone on the floor. It looks like slate. They cleaned one stone that grease was on with a household cleaner and it turned brown. I might just use hot water on this. Is there something else that would work on it. I never heardof blue stone before. Thanks
  23. Blue stone and white sandstone

    Things are good up here John. I'm glad I don't see you around here. lol With the temp warming back up the phone stared to ring and I had a good day of sales up here also. I will do a test spot of coline and one with oxcylic. Thanks
  24. Blue stone and white sandstone

    No, I didn't have ny camera with me.
  25. Gutter Stuff.....

    We have instaled Gutter Stuff on a some homes. They are very easy to install. 2 guys can do 175 to 200 feet it 3 hours easy. Besides cleaning out the gutter we alsoclean the black off the outside of the gutter. I need to get my ad back into the paper butmost of the sales came as ad ons or reverals.
