Thanks for the generous offer John. That is why I love this board and I am proud to ba a part of it. Everyone is so willing to help you if they can and honest enough to tell you when you are diving head first into an empty swimming pool. I took the advice of the majority and talked to the...

Justin, thanks for the words of encouragement. I know that I am taking on a lot for being in this particular business for such a short time but as you said opportunity knocks only once and it does not wait for an answer. I have been in business for myself a total 7 years and to answer your...

I agree with you David cold water would create a nightmare with all of that grease!! - it is my full intention to buy a hot water unit before attempting to tackle this job I am just trying to gather the information that I need to get started or to decide that I don't want to get started. This...

Hi Everybody! Today I was thrust into a situation that I was totally unprepared for and now I am in urgent need of some help from the members of this BB. I just started my power washing business about a month ago I also do gutters and windows. I made a proposal to the company that I formerly...

I am assuming that $6.25 is for inside and out and that is a fair price for a house with less windows than the one I mentioned above. If a house has 40 windows or so that would be a good price. If the house has 80 windows or more the price drops to between 5.35 - 5.75 each. That is what I...

Jon - I just emailed you.

I reduced the pressure regulator knob and Throttled the engine down a little. I am already using a 40 degree nozzle would you recommend one that directs less pressure? I did not know there was one with less other than the soaper nozzle. (Don't newbies just drive you crazy?)
