Then the people that you spent all the time to train properly, take that knowledge and go start their own business. And maybe steal your customers too. "start small, grow big?" yeah they'd be starting small...but you got to start somewhere right? I've seen before....a business hires someone from the ground up and shows them how to do something and what to use and what to say and where to buy things you need...and next thing you know....."Joe Blows Deck Care" ...and your back to square one. Nice thing about being a one man show, you dont have to worry about scenarios like that.

fight fight fight fight fight fight.....

Like this?...

Playset...clean and stain about $500ish

Whats the best way to go about sanding an older large flat redwood deck? Would a traditional floor drum sander work? What grit would u recommend starting with? No prexisiting sealer or stain on the deck thanks

yeah looks like the brightness or something was adjusted in the after photos. Big difference from the Before's... The color tones and overal picture brightness if different ??? Its important to always get the exact same angle and placement for the after photos. This way it doesnt seem like your hiding something. ie. maybe the after wasnt as impressive plus reassures the person viewing the after photos that its the exact same project and not another. Shane is good at following this before and after picture rule.

Anyone have any pictures, using the different sanders on a deck and its results? I'm curious to see what the differences are.

oh ok that makes sense then

in the after pic....Does the product you use leave puddles like that on the deck?... or is that just the sheen off a wet spot? We've always wiped/mopped everything up to make sure there is no "puddling" on the deck when we're done. just curious...?

What about a HOA clean and stain fence job that is over $78K what kind of deposit do you require then? whats fair? or your industry standard? We're doing a 3rd down, a 3rd half way, and a 3rd on completion.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I've seen that pump by pump tec...just was curious if anyone here had any ideas as well. Looks like I'll probably have to go with that though. Yeah they're good pumps for sure. have used them before

well the tank is mounted on the truck so is the battery and reel/hose....so all I really need is a better pump. I'm trying to finid something with about 200 psi thats adjustable. So basically I just need a pump thats like on the deckster, not the whole deckster setup.Thats why I was asking about pumps specifacally. :) or anythiny else thats comparable to that pump or a Shurflo, but just with more psi...? Seymore - in north texas

Yeah thats an idea. I've seen those before definately a possibilty. Our hoses are one a reel mounted to the truck so everything stays on the truck pretty much at all times.

what high psi pumps do you recommend for long discharge lines like 300-400 ft of 1/4 inch hose?..or maybe 3/8 hose I'm using a Shurflo 1.8 at 60psi but doesnt have enough psi to really push out the RS stain/ brightner/ stripper/etc.. the way I want. maybe looking for something around 100-200 psi..adjustable if possible would be nice too. something 12V that could be mounted like a SHurflo would be nice too. links? pics? or suggestions? thanks

after picture looks splotchy and patchy with different shades of red and brown, dark and light...????
