    Yeah, was a bit skeptical at first to use it, but figured I should at least see how it works. Needless to say, I will be getting a M5 ordered right away (as back up to my back up of course:mushroom:) I wouldn't want to suggest that it would be my go to just yet...You never know though. I even used the instructions that came with it on chem mix...go figure. I thought for sure it wouldn't work on the gutters at all. I was almost certain I would be either getting on the roof or scrubbing them somehow. Did neither!~!

    I don?t see how I could jet an entire roof though with a strong mix?? Any wind or angle I cant get to gets me on the roof and negates the bucket and hose ordeal... Anyone?

    I have a rental house that I've been remodeling all summer and will put on the market for sale in about two more weeks.

    The roof was a complete mess of heavy moss. I'd never cleaned a roof before but decided to use my X-Jet on it and it came out great! Shot it from the ground and from a step ladder. That was in June.

    So a neighbor sees it, loves it and asks if we'd clean his roof (big house). There's a roof cleaning outfit around here that advertises endlessly on the radio sports talk shows. They'd quoted him $2,300!! I figured two hours and did it for $480, but it took three. Still made money, but If I had a do over it'd be $640. BTW, his roof looks great!

    So now we're doing roofs. Schedule them first thing in the morning when there's little or no breeze. Bought a Little Giant ladder that A-frames to 11 feet (steady as a rock) so that we're always dropping mix onto the roof instead of shooting up at it.

    No chem wear on hoses, swivels, QCs, O-rings, guns, pumps, etc. Great results, happy customers, and profitable.

    It feels good to come out of the X-Jet closet! LOL!

    You might want to check that Jeremy. For the sake of argument let's just say our right to defend ourselves, Family, Friends, & others was to be taken away, who would be responsible for our safety? Who would protect us from those that would harm us?

    The Police? Think again........lhttps://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scotus.html

    NBC News reports that in the City of Detroit the average police emergency response time is 58 minutes. So if you're in Detroit and you get shot and need someone to come and help you, you'd be better off calling the local pizzeria for delivery.

    You guy that work nights are brave souls.

    If I worked nights I believe I'd have a trigger gun rigged up to the surface cleaner. No lance/wand. Man, a zero degree nozzle and 200 degree hot water would really ruin a bad guy's day...er, night! Especially at 3,500 PSI and 8 GPM LOL! I think I'd rather be tasered any day...er, night!
