I worked with a company a couple of years ago when they were repainting a bridge with a road deck on top and a railroad deck below. They'd park an articulating boom truck on the road deck (bridge is only used for rail traffic now) to reach over the sides. They also used "Spyder baskets," but...

Welcome aboard, AJ. What equipment do you have, and do you specialize in anything like fleet washing, or building work, or flat work? Something tells me there'd be a lot of power washing opportunities in Queens, but maybe a lot of potential competition, too. "Find a need, and offer the...

The political setup for school administration will probably differ between where I am and where you are, but the school system might advertise for bids on specialized work like power washing. Our local weekly newspaper has one page dedicated to public notices like that. Otherwise, they might...

Dang it, I almost missed that, so to make anyone else who's interested can find it, here's a shameless plug for Henry B.'s site: The Pressure Washing Training Resource ;) I just learned something new from the explanation of "PSI vs. GPM vs. CU" in the sample of the Pressure Washing 101...

From the chart at "Compare Products ==> Key Features," it looks like you have to buy QB Pro to get anything that will create and customize forms. Pro Edition 2009 is $159.95 right now; forty bucks off. Invoices and such are available from intuitmarket.com starting at around sixty bucks for 250.

Steve, I know it's from awhile back, but I gotta say, good reply. :cool: PDP, you may already know that "DI" water is deionized (or demineralized) water. That should help you find something on the idea of the CRSpotless Water De-ionizer. I don't know just who makes them, but I've seen a lot...

I know what they are, I'm just curious about where the name comes from. I'm guessing it's an abbreviation for something, but of all the Google hits on "MEG nozzle," none seemed to have any info on that. And I'll just beat all the comedians to the punchline, and say I doubt it was invented by...

You're welcome. I'm glad to have an opportunity to spread around some of the info I've picked up from this site and from my never-ending search for the best ways of doing these jobs. :cool:

I've seen ITW Dymon SCRUBS® towels and other products listed on the Web, but I don't think I've read any posts on the various forums by anyone who has used them. A lot of people seem to like Taginator® (for brick, etc.) and Tagaway® (painted/smooth surfaces). I'm still waiting to try...

This is just one reader's opinion, but . . . I've read pros and cons for both hourly and area (sq. ft.) pricing. One thing you might want to consider, with either system, would be a minimum "call-out" charge for any job. A relatively small "tag" on a visible part of someone's business might...

Good idea, Eric. Thanks. I don't suppose the paint/lighter fluid burns long enough or hot enough to cause spalling of any concrete it was sprayed on, or could it?

Not cost-effective because of the media expended, or something else? (Other than the extra time the job took compared to some other method, that is.) Sometimes a WADU is supposed to be better than a pwasher by itself, but lately I'm hearing from some guys who have tried one and have been...

It clears the cookies every time I log out. That one time I mentioned, it produced the usual "Do you really want to log out?" pop-up, but then it did the Forbidden thing. BTW, those error messages also say something about being unable to send some kind of "403 forbidden report." It's been...

Has anyone encountered this yet, and have you had any luck cleaning it up? I've just heard about it recently, via the Nograf Network, but there will be a lot of results if you search the Web for it. Here's one: Fire Tagging Makes Graffiti a Bit More Dangerous It seems that some "taggers" will...

For the past couple of days, I've had an intermittent problem navigating this forum. Even when trying to log out yesterday, it brought up a "Forbidden" page: "You don't have permission to access /login.php on this server." :confused: Trying to get to other pages has produced the same results...
