    Stucco We spent about 4 hours prepping a house today. This was a long time.

    hmm..... TSP and plants. that is sure a bad mix. I have a 4000 psi machine at 6 + gallons/minute and I use a 40 tip. It rips the paint off. I wonder what a 15 will do. I'm not big on the TSP, most houses in my area are loaded with plants and flowers, that of course are right on the house.

  4. Presenting estimates

    I agree with Fife I also made my invoice (3 part) and quote (2 part) forms in excel and took them to the printer. My 3 part is: original - customer yelllow - file pink - on a office spear by the phone as a reminder that I didn't collect at the time of service. When they pay I trash the pink copy

    What type of roof's are you using this on? How many GPM and what PSI is your machine?

  7. Workers Comp rates

    David O'Connell Jr. replied to Jeff's topic in Business Topics & Tips

    In florida we are under 3 codes. Roofing, sidewall cleaning and deck work. Its a big clerical pain in the @$$. $12 per 100 for the deck work $22.50 per 100 for the washing of the building sides $35 per 100 for the roof You are audited at the end of the year and they ask what % of X was roofing and then they adjust... and so on.

  8. Chemicals

    David O'Connell Jr. replied to squirtgun's topic in Chemicals & Safety

    I like both, like stated before. You can only get some things in liquid. If I could get bleach(cheap) in a powder I'd do it.
  9. The deck sealer can be store bought. How about CWF?

  11. TSP and Bleach

    David O'Connell Jr. replied to Mountain View's topic in Chemicals & Safety

    Lowes and Home Depot have a product called TSP. However one of them really isn't, it a TSP substitute. We prefer to get ours from a pool supply store. We have mixed the real TSP with chlorine. It really makes the mix HOT. so watch out and be prepared. Tarp and Water! ..........Also I have noticed that with our pump we tend to leak if the mix is too hot.
