Bigboy,
I just started this Spring. I have been reading everything I can find on the topic of wood restoration. I have cleaned and sealed 6 decks this year and so far they have all turned out pretty good. I have lots of work lined up already for this Summer. I would also like to concentrate on housewashing. This is supposed to be a "part time" business, but with a firefighter's schedule I end up having a lot of time for powerwashing.
I live about 25 miles east the Mississippi River. I commute across the River to my firefighter job.
What kind of work do you do?
