    Strip Mall cleaning

    I understand that you would use the flat surface cleaner and them wand (for gum removal) to wash down the concrete along the store fronts, but what becomes of the gum that you broke lose. Do you vacuum it up with something or is it just left for some car to come along and mash it into the...

    parking garage bid

    When trying to reclaim that much water from the parking decks, what do you do with it? Is it just reclaimed, filtered, and dumped or are you reclaiming, filtering, and reusing it? Either way, what do you do with it when you are done?

    Huge job quote help

    What Walt meant by draws is, have it in the written contract to have them pay you say 25 % of the total when you complete 1/4 of the houses, and so on. Some people even require a percentage upfront for additional expenses. The draw part is really nice for those of us who cant afford to work...

    C.p.r.

    Had decent luck with this product. Kind of pricey as is all products that we see to have to buy. Smells good though. Anthony

    Buying into a business

    I had an offer from a pressure cleaning business. The owner says that the price includes the equipment and accounts. He also said that he can show the books for the last 2 yrs with 75-100k. Is this worth $25k or is it overpriced. Thanks, Anthony

    Deck Cleaning

    I had to clean a deck last night for a fellow co-worker. Before I started the deck looked all about the same, a little black and gray. When I started cleaning, some areas came extremely clean (Bright color wood) and some areas kept a black spotchy look to it. The latter areas were shaded by...

    Anniverary

    I can second that about the kidney stone. The doc told me that it was the closest thing to giving birth. I honestly feel that he was right on target. Anthony

    Anyone heard of LIFE-GUARD 4 Wood?

    Good luck with the Life_Guard. My wife and I sealed a deck last year for a customer that had bought three 5 gallon buckets from Lowes at a clearance price. When we opened the buckets it made you cry and nose run. Would just burn. Also, with her rolling and me brushing at the same time...

    Mark, What is your price to drop ship 10 five gallon cans of F&P cedar tone sealer in the virginia area. I had to order some last fall through my local Sherwin-Williams store and the price went up. The first time that I ordered the district rep quoted me and had to follow up on it @...

    Life, it's a good thing:)

    Hey Guys and Gals, I have a little one that is 8.5 months old. I get to spend a decent amount of time with him. My current job is 12 hour shift rotating every two weeks. Press biz has been slow this season, so far. I have not tried to market much, though. Just got married and enjoying...
