  1. hose barb?

    Either 1/4" or 3/16" hose barb, depending on your machine and downstream injector. A meg tip will be much more durable than a brass hose barb, though. Please fill out your signature completely. Thanks a bunch.
  2. General Pump

    So the short answer is, "No. You got hosed."
  3. Yes, referrals are great if you can get them. So are full signatures, and they are a forum rule. :)
  4. 10th Today!

    Tearing out carpet is hot... ...and tiring work! Congratulations on ten years!
  5. YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY

    Congrats, Adrian! I gave up on the ring thing when I started doing manual labor (PW). I got tired of it hanging up on stuff and trying to rip my fanger off. I don't need no ring to remind me that I'm the butcher's dog! April will be our 20th.
  6. It's easy to get a small section looking good but I would be concerned about a consistent look on a whole wall. If some spots come cleaner than others it's going to look like hell.
  7. Good advice, Joolie. Now please fill out your signature per forum requirements. Thanks!
  8. Apartment Complex

    Specify in your bid that cars have to be moved and that you will notify them of the schedule ahead of time. Then it is up to the apt manager to post notices. After that it's the tenants' responsibility to move their vehicles.
  9. Offering New Services - House washing and Roof Cleaning

    I did, too. I'm just not a big Neil Young fan.
  10. Are Pure Sodium Percarb And Oxcalic Acid Good?

    The bulk stuff is pure product while the retail concoctions contain buffers and surfactants to improve performance. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
  11. Stucco

    Yeah, if there are more than a few stubborn spots that's definitely the way to go.
  12. One bad gun.

    +1 on the Suttner Easy Pull.
  13. Stucco

    A little stronger mix and lowwwwwwwwww pressure for stucco. I have been known to break out the pump up for really bad spots. To fill out your signature go to Forum Actions > Edit Profile > Edit Signature.
  14. Downstream some house wash mix before you clean the driveway if it's really dirty. It will go faster. Or you can downstream 12% on it after if there are stripes. You shouldn't have to do both. I rarely do either. Welcome to TGS! Please fill out your signature- Name, Company Name, Contact Info.
  15. Spiders!

    They will jump and bite you. My son found out the hard way! It didn't make him sick but he said it realllllly hurt. That pic reminds me of a two-story log home I cleaned recently. I was on a ladder hand-cleaning some high windows and every time I broke one of the egg sacs in the corners bajillions of tiny spiders would try to run up my arm. I would have taken pictures like you did but I was too busy flapping and screaming like a little girl.
  16. I have. It doesn't work- wrong kind of chlorine and you can't mix it strong enough to be effective. Do a search for 'dry chlorine' or 'powder chlorine'.
  17. Kroger Stores

    A service company called for a bid on the Walgreens for windows. Just a little digging and a few pointed questions revealed that *they* were bidding on Walgreens and wanted someone to do the legwork and figure out pricing. They were trying to get ALL maintenance- washing, landscaping, etc.
  18. That's interesting. I thought it was just a neutralizer/ brightener.
  19. Kroger Stores

    He's giving you a heads up about reclaim on the sidewalks. You should thank him.
  20. Kroger Stores

    It's a service company trying to put a bid together to get all the Kroger stores. They called me today. I don't even have any Krogers in my town. Last month it was a company trying to put a bid together for all the (deleted) pharmacies. They didn't have the contract yet, they were just looking for numbers to put a proposal together.
  21. No, not unless you pour straight acid on dry pipes. Takes care of soap buildup and toilet paper clogs, though.
  22. Gutter grenade is great for cleaning tires. I try to keep it off the wheels. I have used deck stripper and muriatic acid as drain unstoppers before. NOT at the same time.
  23. Let's see who can identify these claw marks....

    Either wolverine or Komodo dragon. It's a tossup.
