CB works

I went back to go and take a look at the driveway today, and now that its completely dry, you’re right, you don’t even notice the spots.

Looks great!! Did you guys install those copper post caps or did you just shine em up all nice and perty? Christian

Thanks for the info, That site has just what I was looking for. I also want to pick up some NMD80 from there for a new construction brick job I have lined up for next week. The only problem is is that there's lots of copper flashing on the house. Does anyone know an easy way to protect the copper other than tapeing and covering it with plastic, or am I just going to have to pay my dues on this one? Christian

Thanks guys! Armor All?? I wonder if you could spray some of that stuff all over the driveway and make the whole thing that light, Wouldn't that be cool. Roger, Is there a place around here that I could get some SafeRestore, or is that something I need to order. Being that the rust spots are far from the grass would I have to worry about burning it if I rinse well? Christian

Hello All, First of all I would like to thank everyone for the time and energy that has gone into this board. I have really learned a lot. There is a lot of knowledge and expertise out there that I know has helped me and others like me. A little about myself: I am currently self-employed making surfboards in the Myrtle Beach, SC area. I have been doing this for myself for about three years now, and have gotten a real taste of the freedom of self-employment. However, major changes have taken place in the surf industry in the past year, and it looks like China has suddenly become a major competitor in the market (unlike before, when it was primarily a US-based industry). I figure now is a good time to get out and try something new. I did some deck washing and sealing jobs with my brother last year and really liked the work. I thought it might be something that I could do for a living. I started reading as much as I could on the subject about four months ago and realized that there’s a lot more to it than I thought (my brother and I really did those jobs the hard way!). I’m ready to make a move and start taking on some residential house-cleaning jobs to supplement my income while I really learn this business the right way. Any comments and suggestions you pros can share with me regarding my equipment choices would be a big help. Here is my wish list so far: Northstar 4 gpm,3500 psi, belt-driven, cold water, portable pw—will this be enough? X-Jet Extension pole w/brush Hose and reel Of course the other stuff: chemicals, buckets, ladder, etc. Also, if anyone nearby has some used equipment they’d like to sell, I’d love to take a look at it. I’ve read that broad form property damage coverage is recommended if I really want to be covered while working. Any comments or suggestions on this would really help. Last of all, I’ve noticed that there are some real professionals that post on this board from the Myrtle Beach area. I am willing to volunteer some time in the very near future to get some hands-on experience. I am also willing to travel out of state if necessary. I am an extremely hard worker who supports a wife and 3-year old and will not waste anyone’s time. Thanks for everyone’s time, and my apologies for such a long post. Best of luck in all your business endeavors! Christian

Thanks guys
