We are glad things turned out well. Now If you can see through all the BS (some ours and some yours) You will find this to be a VERY informative group of people. Getting started in the right direction by coming here will help you more in the long run than you know! So now that that's out of the way, add your name to the signature section in the user cp section. Helps us identify each other on a more personal level... and how did you like my BULL story?? especially that you're in your 20's It really fits LOL

I think my BULL story was the best advice... it should be madatory reading fo all newcomers!! sorry if I offended anyone!!

Reminds me of the story about the 2 bulls. The young Bull and Old bull are standing on a hill looking over a field with 20 cows in it... The young bull says "let's run down there and **uck one of them cows!" The old bull says "lets WALK down there and **uck them all!"

You got it Bro. Tell me where to send it "DAD"

Settle down bro. Ken fenner gave you ample advice, he's pretty good at the deck thing. Plus If you look at other threads, you will probably find more info for yourself. Plus, there are a lot of guys that are really busy at this time of year. amny "simple" questions get answered by a guy (ken stepped up this time) and then there is no reason to beat the dead horse... Other than that, I wasn't a "seasoned" pro when I started asking questions, but before I asked them, I looked at similiar threads...

try some gutter shock on the area where the oil is. gutter shock is butyl based which should eat up the oil... I certainly screwed up an oil sealed driveway a few years ago with GS!!

Yeah STEVE!!!!!!! It's great to see you coming around... did ya hear about the *****? I actaully joined something!!! It's got a great group of guys... well that's another story.. Keep us posted (or just me!!), I sure miss our talks about wine, women and song! Just kidding.... You wouldn't even recognize me... I actually give guys advice about powerwashing (not much) instead of just "taking" the advice!!!!

positive question/critique coming... in the last picture of the wood, it looks like your wand strayed or stopped a few times... the "check" marks on the un-clean part of the wood makes me ask/say this. try not to stop when doing the board, continue through the entire board one way, then return on the same board in one "run." Stopping will cause lines... and if needed to stop or do something, fan the wand up and away from the board (kind of hard to explain). But if you did what I'm saying, then ignore me!!!! But you defenitely want to get a 3 ft. lance, with an easy pull gun and some tips to reduce the pressure... that dual lance will retire you early!!!

"Maintenance free" until the mold and lichten (spelling???) start growing on it. I started to use the housewash mix, but then went on to roof magic and then oxalic acid. There were still some light black on some boards, but it looked great when we were done. There was a wood deck we did also, and I will be going back to stain it. Will get some more pics of the trex... and yes, did the house and some gutter clean out (filled to the top) and pruned some trees.

Looked like the "newer" trex, but it looked like it was 10 years worth of growth... will be getting a better after picture when I go back to stain the wood deck

FREE! 55 gallons of it free anytime I need it... sort of. I get it from my friend who owns a farm, then I wash something for him. In the end I make out a lot better (I usually get 2 55s a year), but he finds his house being clean worth the exchange!!

So your BJ neighbor hired someone other than YOU. Hopefuly they never "need" anything in a pinch! Most of the times my next door neighbor gets a FREE housewash when I do my own. He's one of my best friends, has an in ground pool, and is always hooking me up with work from people he knows. Some neighbors are gold, some aren't!!

Don't give them a Warranty, give them a Guarantee .. You'll Guarantee if they go with a cheap price and someone will "warranty" the work, then you'll guarantee they will get a **** job!

Doug Lucas, That thing looks good (laddersaver). But I'm a little leary about rinsing with it. What kind of pressure is that thing throwing? And Doug Dahlke, you left a little green in the first picure!! LOL looks good. I actually have been kicking around the idea of DS... I already do it for truck washing

I think it's great, but is that a Brogue I detect???
