    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...

    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

    Multi Coats of CWF

    What product for a stripper would be a good starting place. I have posted a msg on Russell's board also. This is my uncles house and he had previously applied the 2nd or 3rd coat on top. He now wants it stripped if possible and if not at least a good wash. Thanks in advance guys and...

    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...

    Wolman's....Where is it??

    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 @...

    Do you remember?

    I'm not that old, just 29 but I remember some of them and an extra one. "Pay Toilets's" I never forgot going across GC Murphy's store and having to run back and get a dime from my grandmother. We still have a drive-in here, we used to go all the time, until the youngun' came along. If...

    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...

    watch out!

    The county deputy was stopped in the left lane to remove a shelving unit (19.95 tin from lowes) that was laying in the middle of the left lane. The problem was that the deputy had already passed it, made a double u-turn at the turn thrus (have witness) and came back to remove it (still no...

    watch out!

    Until today I had no fear of the 13th. My fiance and 7 month old were on our way to look at a new enclosed trailer out of town and low and behold bad luck. We were on a bypass, in a curve with about 500 feet line of sight, and there was a couty deputy sitting in the middle of the road with his...

    Protecting the inside of an enclosed trailer.....

    How are you guys or gals that use enclosed trailers protecting the inside. My open trailer dried fairly quickly when I drained the tanks or leaked water. How do you protect the plywood versus the 2 x 6's? Anthony ------------------

    Enclosed trailer ideas.....

    David, Thanks for the response. I agree that sometimes it may be easier to work from the open trailer than from an enclosed. That is one of the reasons that I thought about going with the 8.5 x 16 for the extra room. The smaller 7 x 14 has the same weight rating, but less width to work with...

    Daren, Good looking setup. Very nice truck and trailer. I live a little to the southeast of you and I'm supposed to go talk to a guy tommorow about buying an enclosed trailer. It was either an enclosed trailer or hot water unit. Anthony ------------------

    Looking at buying an enclosed trailer. Considering my options and sizes. I want the big sides to advertise on. Maybe this will help increase business. I currently work from a 6.5 x 16 tandem trailer (open sided with rails). I carry two 325 gallon leg tanks, 28 ft ladder, 2 hose reels...
