I wear Dickies, a company tee and cheap tennis shoes in spring and summer. I do go through a couple of pair of shoes but I like the feel of them when I am on ladders. In fall and winter I wear rockies boots.

I also hate getting on ladders. I am considering getting a telescopic wand. I have not seen a x-jet in action but would like to hear the pros and cons of both. I also need to price both. Any suggestions on where I can get a deal?

Big Mike, Did you get the job?

I would check something out before taking this job. I believe if you break the plane of the manhole it is considered a "confined space entry" and I believe according to OSHA you need to have training for that. There are several hazards with tank cleaning you may need to research.

The reason you do not need a MSDS on gas/diesel,engine oil or coolant is because it is a known hazard and is labeled on the vehicle from the vehicle manufacture. I suggested having a copy of the MSDS not only for D.O.T. regulations but for proper disposal and clean up incase of spills and for...

I know Clorox Outdoors will not kill the grass if diluted properly but I do not know if it will clean the brass.

The people who are charging $75 For the 12X14 deck cleaning is probable running the scam that the customer must also stain/seal the deck with their company. That way they can make up what they lost on the washing. It is a advertising trick to get customers to call them.I have bid against a...

I own one of the dewalt 2800psi 3 gal min washers. It's a great pressure washer for smaller jobs.It depends on how much time you are willing to spend cleaning.

My input is do some research. Decide the type of work you want to do, then decide on the equipment you will need. You will need insurance, I pay $572 a year for $2 million coverage. I specialize in exterior wood restoration and sealing this is all I do. I clean and seal fences,decks and cedar...

I have used olympic max. in the past on cedar siding and it was O.K. to use and lasted for 4-5 years. I have also used it on decks and on decks I got about 2-3 years depending on if the deck got direct sun. I have also used wolman F&P it is the same as olympic to apply but it does last a while...
