I cant find the thread but a few of you wanted to see some decks I do here in San Diego with Readyseal time vs. wear. The pics attatched are a decks I did 3 years ago! The brownish deck is light brown on redwood near the ocean with sun all day and it has held up very well. The other deck is one we just cleaned and re-sealed with a Readyseal mix!

Shane, I measure similar! Sq/ft of floor plus ln/ft rail! The arbor was also redwood! I had to do alot of covering and masking on this one! That seems always to take longer than anything but it has to be done! I still have yet to see a cedar deck down here! All the decks are either redwood or ipe.

Thanks Shane! I have attached the best pic I have! The deck is near 2800 sq/ft! There is alot more deck that I cant fit into the pic to the right and below along with a Pergala! It was relatively easy to do and took about 3 days to finish. I wish it was mine!

Here's some pics of a redwood deck we refinished last week! It was cleaned, finished sanded and sealed with a readyseal mix! This deck is one of my favorites that I have ever done!

Hey Roger, I am definately going to get one of those! What size tip do you use for the stain! Currently my flow jet tips wont work because they are not quick connectable!

Great work! What an idea! I have 100 cedar buildings to due an dthat would cut my time from ladders alot! Good job!

Thanks guys! John, what I meant by that is that I mix 3/4 dark red with 1/4 natural cedar and the same for the brown! It kind of adds a nice tone to it for the decks I do! I add the cedar deck I do!

There are rails but they were taken off and repainted while we did the deck! They are black rod iron. It was kind of scary doing the outside edges of that thing!

I recently switched from braided hose to a flexible sewer jetter hose from water cannon which is light weight and holds up really well! I have 2 50ft quick connected with a pumptec adjustable pump!

Barry, I have a spray cart with an adjustable pump! Than I spray away! I also use the hurricane brush from Sunbrite when it is windy!

I dont notice any change of GPM with my unloader set low I dont think!! WHat is the point of having it if it doesn't serve the purpose! I dont understand how adjusting your unloader can damage a pump! I have been usning my same pump for six years with no problems and I have changed the pump oil 1 time! Go figure! I am not a power washer mechanic or expert but I would really like to know if GPM's change with the unloader adj and what is accually the best way to accomplish low pressure/high volume

Here's a couple of decks we did last week. I dont have a before for the larger one but it was nasty. The smaller one is RS light brown/cedar and the large one is RS dark red/cedar. Both are redwood decks in La Jolla, CA.[ATTACH]3878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]3879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]3880[/ATTACH]

That is pretty funny! I think we've all had those kinda days! I'm laughing my A** off! "A noose" LOL.

Mine is on th e machine but sure, you could mount it quick connected behind your gun! I know a couple guys that do that!

That is true! I just prefer my guage! On a redwood deck, there is alot of difference between what 900 psi and 1300psi can do! Trying to figure out where your at costs time, and possible more fuzzies that you have to remove. I just prefer to know exactly what I am cleaning at for reference etc! I have mine quick connected right after my injector so it isn't much trouble to use!
