    We do 20 every other week. Takes 2 guys about 2.5 hrs. We get 15 bucks a bus. How they are parked and having room between the buses is important. If they can be staggerd, you can make pretty good time. Biggest problem on a sunny day can be the soap drying on one side before you get back...

    algae growing in my water storage tanks

    We drop in the clorox tablets that you would use in the back of the toilet bowl reservoir. Works pretty well and is pretty economical. When they dissolve just drop in another.

    Night Lights.

    I also have been using the Halogen lights. They have been working well so far. I also use the headlamps that I use when i am climbing my treestand to hunt deer. You can get them at most sporting goods and department stores. They work great for hands free lighting when looking in ducts.

    Credit Card Processing

    We are paying 2.09%. We really do not use it very often. We do however have a government account that pays buy credit card which certainly beats the alternative of processing an invoice through the government accounting system. I agree with other posts that the symbols add proffesionalism to...
