[A Day In The Life - Revelation!]

That was awesome.

[Sodium Hypochlorite Prices]

$0.99-$1.01 a gallon here

[property management]

I wouldn't go cheap. Yes its great to be busy. BUT, being busy and making a little profit or next to none isn't acceptable in my book. Remember it cost money just to say goodmorning. I know what my fixed expenses are to just wake up. Not to mention the wear and tear on the equipment, I no longer compromise on price. It costs me to much...

[Double Gulp type chemical injectors. Anyone tried these?]

who has them?

[New Competition]

we just lost a bid by $7,000 to a painter. We were not that high on price.

We were in the section of town and saw him with 2 other guys with a "now what do we do" look on their faces. There was over 65 homes in this bid.

[If your Catholic and offended I appolize in advance for this joke.]

I'm Catholic and I'm not offended.

[surface cleaner]

Finally, someone with a picture.

[surface cleaner]

I looked for a picture to help better explain. We are not talking about the tiger stripe or brindle look. Maybe you have a picture Oasis

I think that my machine is cutting the concrete.

[surface cleaner]

The white I'm talking about are the ones that no matter how slow or fast you go and even if you go in another direction they are still there.

In other words the concrete won't get any cleaner, but the lines are there in the direction of your travel.

[surface cleaner]

Let us not forget that sometimes they streak no matter what you do.

I assume by streaks you mean those white lines that are in the direction of your travel.

[Paver Cleaning and Sealing]

..so your saying, don't use any of their products?

[Bleach Dilema]

Would 12% bleach work just as good as 12% chlorine on mold?

people use name bleach or chlorine for the same product.

If there is a difference between the two I'd like to know.

When I was a swimming pool contractor we'd use either name for the same product.

[streaks on paint]

Sounds a lot like the bleach did it. It will streak paint easily.

[What Makes 100%?]

beautiful

[vines]

Those are the things that we tell the customer about on the initial walk around. They don't come off with pressure, well, they do, if you want to re-stucco.

[Float tank]

You can always run 2 hoses into the tank.

[Can you say SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWW!]

Actually we are hearing the same here. We have agreements with HOA to clean the roofs, but they are waiting for the huricane season to end.

Ever since Jean and Frances and not to mention Wilma ripped my area a new one, it has been tough.

[Am I using the surface cleaner the right way ?]

Water Brooms, I heard are good for tennis courts. We usually use wands though
