  1. Real Nice Jeff. We all have important questions to ask Bob and he can't help us because he is to busy helping poor little Jeff, king of Myrtle Beach, "I need another rig, oh no, whatever will I do" J/K

    Bob is a great guy, very helpfull and never refuses the chance to help.

    By the way, I will be goint ot myrtle beach again in October, just bought my plane tickets, I will be sure to meet up with you this time.


  2. Thanks for the help. The semi cabots has started to wear after 10 months, mostly on the stairs and outside the door. I want to try ready seal or woodtux so I can see first hand why everyone raves about them. The pics on readyseals website are quite appetizing.

    The porch has no spindles, just 150 ft2 of deck boards - PT. Already showing some signs of wear. If I mix the F-18 at 16 per gallon or so to try, is that then applied in a pump up sprayer or downstreamed.

    Thanks.


  3. Hey,

    Last spring I was a fool. I sealed my pt deck with cabots semi transparent cedar and my front porch deck with cabots solid cedar - both oil based. I used the cabots before I learned of the better quality stuff out there and this year I hate it.

    To be honest, I am ashamed that as a professional in this business, I have a Lowes brand at my own home.

    I want to strip it and then seal with ready seal.

    I have on hand F-18 max and straight Oxalic.

    Any advice on stripping cabots and brighting. I would like this to come out great for a portfolio job as wel.

    Any and all help it greatly appriciated.

    PS. One more thing- GO SOX!!!


  4. I wear one, the cartridge type from home depot for $38 bucks or so. The cheaper one does not protect against chlorine vapors - says so on the package. Well worth the money. Last year I hardly wore it and was always getting headaches and had the chlorine smell stuck in my nose all night. The respirator prevents that, keeps me healthy and keeps the home owners away.


  5. Kyle,

    Thanks for the help. I am certain at this point it is a fuel problem. It drives me crazy, it ran perfect all day yesterday. Started it and shut it down about 8 times. Never any problems, and this morning, no luck.

    I want to take the carb off and look, but I am afraid to cause damage or mess something up. I am going to find who can service it the soonest tomorrow. But who knows, maybe I will tinker with it tonight.


  6. Hello,

    My first big equipment issue. My pw is powered by a 25 HP honda V twin engine. It has 220 hours on it. Just got new fuel filter, oil fitler, air filter and plugs at 185 hours with oil change. Did 4 housed yesterday with no problems. Ran out of fuel once, filled it up and was good to go.

    Went to do a house today and it would not start. It will run on starter fluid, but as soon as I stop spraying it, it dies down. I replaced the fuel filter, blew out all the fuel lines and still nothing. I took the line from the fuel pump off the carb. intake and turned the key, it shot gas so I know the pump is good.

    All I can think is that something is clogging the carb.

    Any thoughts, I need help fast. I have a ton booked at the end of the week.


  7. They called me, they see that it needs to be clean. It is their property, what is dirty to them, may not be to me.

    No discount either. Wether a house is fithly or not so bad, they take about the same time, same work, and same effort and they get just as clean.


  8. Hey,

    My buddy is doing a huge landscaping job for a client and his machinery has left the driveways muddy and gross. All asphalt. About 800ft2 total. He is power sweeping them and needs me to wash them. I have a steel eagle surface cleaner but am afraid it will tear up the asphalt. Any thoughts or experience. Thanks.
