  1. Tennis ball concept expanded

    I use a zip tie on my surface cleaner. Keep it a litte loose, slide it to the bottom and it holds the trigger down, slide it up and it let's go of the trigger.
  2. 3700 PSI Pressure washer also here is one I would jump on and its hot water commercial hot/cold water pressure washer Good luck. P.S. I am not trying to bust your balls.... I just suggest you spend your money elsewhere like marketing or insurance rather than a shiny rig. If you cant get the jobs that rig will stay shiny for along time or at least when you go and put it on Craigslist yourself with a header- "Pressure washing rig for sale...Barely used"
  3. And I really dont get the point of that generator on there. I dont see much use of that.
  4. I myself would say it is not such a good deal. You can build that exact setup for half or less. That exact tank you can get from a chemical place for $50. Pressure washer $700 new but I would go on CL and get a used one instead. Trailer am sure can get pretty cheap especially on your side of the world. Get a few tie down straps and WALLA... you got the same setup.
  5. Metal Roof

    Why not bleach? I have used it with a 30/70 sh to water mix just sprayed on from gutter line then rinsed and it came out awesome. No scrubbing.
  6. egg on vinyl siding

    I have never had trouble with strong house wash mix. I usually xjet straight mix on the spots. With vinyl it came out spotless. With painted surfaces it left a shadow but that is where the egg enzymes ate thru the paint. Never tried heat though.
  7. After you put some time in you will figure out your best angles to not get drenched. Even then I still wear boots and rain bibs. A quick rinse when done and its all good.... ready for the next job. Keep a pair of shoes in the van if I have an estimate middday and I take the rain gear off and I look somewhat presentable.
  8. Scott stone not washing parking garages!!!

    Hahahaha that is super funny
  9. Duroid Shingles with moss

    Definately a treatment is needed.
  10. best Christmas decoration

    Hahahaha. That is freakin hilarious.
  11. Not since Atari.... 360 live !!!!

    I have the Nintendo Wii. They have comp downloads of the original Nintendo games. I love playing the original Zelda or Contra.
  12. Christmas List!!!!

    A shopping spree at QUEENSBOROSHIRTS
  13. Almost didn't make it - whew!

    Climbing the ladder is always the scary part for me. Once im on the roof im all good.
  14. Almost didn't make it - whew!

    Brave, brave man.
  15. Should we start another organization???

    Good idea John. After its set up you should fill the ED (or equivilent) position.
  16. How much did it cost you to start?

    I started by borrowing the company that I worked for machine "to wash my house". I maxed out my cedit card that had $250 on it on a professional logo and biz cards. I went door to door and passed out a card to anyone in arms reach. Used the company's washer for 7 weekends in a row and got enough cash to buy a VERY used rig from a rental place. First year part time(every weekend) I made 33k. This is my first year full time since April 1st. Gonna break 100k easily.
  17. Next summer

    What was wrong with this summer????
  18. We will Start Stenciling everything in sept

    Its two months in Ron. Whats the verdict. Does it work?
  19. Intro, The best rookie you ever saw!!

    Sell the generator... Use that money for insurance and marketing.
  20. Love that show. Never knew people actually pawned boats and planes. I like going to pawn shops also buts its getting harder and harder to find a really good deal. The pawn shop people are able to find the retail value of an item easily and they price it just a little bit under that. Its hard to find an item that they screwed up and did not know value and priced it low.
  21. Gallons per minute

    haha. I love that machine. I hardly ever use my Landa anymore except for when I need hot water. I picked the setup off of CL for 800 bucks. Its amazing what higher gpms means for our line of work. I am definately getting popeye arms holding on to the wand. And the surface cleaner helicopters up so I had to install a weight on it to keep from flying.
  22. Gallons per minute

    I have a 12gpm run off of a 18hp vanguard.
  23. How long did it take you? What chem did you use? I think I might now the answers to my own questions since you mentioned using the extensions.
  24. bleach???

    To me it just sounds they used less soap or something that doesnt have as much sudsing. Their speed might not be a case of the soap or sh used but a matter of what machine they have. With my 12gpm I can soap, dwell and rinse a 2000 sq ft home in under an hour and that is taking my time. I wouldnt lower your price though for being able to do it faster. Its your raise for being more proficient with upgraded machinery.
