Michael, I bet the fishing was great in Colorado. Fly fishing for trout here in the mts. of N.C. is a fairly new passion I have developed. I 've fished for just about everything, but this is a new venture for me that I am really excited about. Looking forward to the spring to head to the...

...just wondering...anyone else interested in fly fishing for trout ????? Barry

I have been cleaning part time since 1997, still part time, full time job = main bread earner. I started off charging about $35 hourly and sometimes felt guilty for 'taking' someone else's money at that. I 'felt' that since I already had a full time income, anything else didn't matter that...

I'm wondering, when using bleach does the spot 'blend' in with the concrete you have just cleaned or does applying bleach cause the spot to stand out ? Thanks everyone !!! [green] [green] [green] [green] Barry Loy

I've been meaning to post this for a while but have been very busy. Leaf stains seem to be a problem sometimes when cleaning concrete. At times they leave a ''ghost' stain that wants to linger after I have finished the job. Has anyone else encountered this and what did you do about the...

Hi Mark, The unit I looked at was sold at the Northern tool store. Barry Loy

Thanks to all who have replied to my initial post. The particular unit I have looked at has casters from the manufacturer and the 'lawn mower' style handle bars. There is a difference of $200 between the one rated at 2.6 gpm & the one rated at 4gpm. After an inspection of the plumbing between...

I recently looked at a new flat surface cleaner rated at 3000psi & 2.6gpm. My machine is 3000psi & 4gpm. (1) Would this work on my machine ? (2) Why or why not ? (3) If not, could the nozzles in the new surface cleaner be switched to accomadate my 4gpm ? Thank you so much !! Barry Loy

I have a buddy who has his own lawn care business. I have done some pressure washing for him at his home. The buddy and his wife were very pleased with my work. He has since then passed my name on to his regular lawn care customers who have needed p /washing and/or deck cleaning services. Just...

Hi Mike, Thanks for responding to my post. Do you charge extra for the wax and what are the results you see from applying the was ? Thanks ! Barry :)

Mike, What kind of wax do you apply ? and how ? Barry

I have not good results when working with aluminum siding. I have given an estimate on an aluminum siding home that has a medium build up of mildew. The siding is white aluminum, some dust and dirt. The home owner has presiously tried to remove the mildew himself before calling me. I use...

I try to include as much as information as needed on my bills to let the customer know exactly what services I performed for them. That also justfies my time. If the bill looks a little 'thin' , I'll even include any extra equipment I may have used, such as surface cleaners. Barry Loy

While working on a deck yesterday, I kept noticing yellow jackets flying underneath the deck ( I kept a real close eye on them ). Being alergic to these creatures I wanted to keep my distance. They began swarming as I sprayed and cleaned. Long story - short, I could only clean the floor area and...

Cody, Have you got any responses yet ? I live about an hour away. Barry Loy Graham, NC

Mark, In regards to an earlier question about oxidation on vinyl siding after a washing. I wound up brushing the vinyl using Gutter Zap from Ron in Garner,NC. The vinyl siding now looks great and the home owner is very happy! My question is this... Is there any way this could have been...
