NEVER MIND... THEY WORK! Sorry about that! That is one impressive rig! I see you are Ford people as well! Impressive! Take Care, Chris Long CSL Enterprises ------------------

Hey Folks, I'd love to see the rig, but it doesn't seem to be working... I get "Page cannot be found" coming up when I clicked on both of the pictures. I just wanted to let you know... good luck! Isn't technology wonderful? Chris Long CSL Enterprises ------------------

Jon, I want to thank you sincerely for your comments regarding teachers, because I happen to be one also. I'm not only a cleaning contractor, I also teach 7th grade math and reading in a suburban district outside of Philadelphia. I see children every day who are lacking self-respect, and in...

Hey folks, Just to add my piece as well... I've been a member for just short of a year, and I've learned a tremendous amount of information from this board, which I appreciate! Mike Hughes and I are in the same area, and he was truly helpful to me in getting started last year. Thanks Mike! I...

I've used Simple Green many times with much success. I just spray it on and wipe it off with some mild agitation, and the gutters look great. I did learn that you have to get the gutters right away, or the chemical dries too quickly and is ineffective. (I use it full strength) Chris

I have a potential customer that has a deck with an olive green coating of Behr plus acrylic latex solid based stain on it. I did a test patch with both my sodium hydroxide based sealer remover (which was a joke...nothing happened) and even some mineral spirits (which I thought I read on here...

I know it's been asked before, but I'm having a brain freeze today... what do you charge for cleaning and sealing fences? I have one that is approx. 250 ft. long, and five feet high, and they want BOTH sides done... any input would be appreciated! Thanks, Chris

I am cleaning a large brick house that has old ivy vines all over one side of the house. The ivy leaves themselves were removed, but the roots and dried up vines are still clinging ALL OVER the facade. The only thing that worked today was the turbo nozzle, which did knock them off, but the...

I waited to post this to make sure the guy's check definitely cleared, and it did... I just wanted to thank everyone who posted information about this situation, i found it very helpful. I went to my bank the next day, and chose the path Mike suggested with redepositing his check. But first...

Thank you Bryan! I'm almost positive we have the same thing here in PA, so I'll pursue that avenue, and keep my professional attitude. (As hard as that is sometimes) Thanks again, Chris

I did over $800 worth of work for a family, and the guy told me to just send him an invoice (which I realize was my first mistake, because since this, I modified my billing system so that I get 10% to get them scheduled, 50% of the balance when I show up, and 40% at the completion of the job.)...

So far, Cuprinol's finish remover has been the most effective for me. It seems to take more old finish off than any other product I've used so far, and it can be sprayed on using my solo pump. Are there any other products out there that you recommend? I've been dealing with the removal of CWF...

I have a three story assisted living home to clean, and it is huge! I have never washed a three story building before, but there's a first time for everything. I rented a 35 foot platform scissors lift for five days to reach the higher spots, so getting to every part of the building is not a...

Has anyone ever heard of this kind of wood? I probably didn't spell it right, so that goes to show you how much I know about it. This deck is at a pretty prestigious country club in my area, and I have been asked to clean it, and seal it, but I'm not going to do anything to it unless i find...

Here's the background on this situation: A retaining wall overlooking a pool in a backyard of a residential home was built a year ago. The guys putting in the wall apparently used some cheap mortar glue from Home Depot that began to seep from the cracks of the EP Henry red retaining wall...
