    Loading dock lifts

    I went and looked at the project. Much less of a mess than I was thinking. There is just some bird crap, and feathers he wants cleaned out and no grease or oils etc. He doesn't even expect us to get to far back as space is limited and accessed only from front. We could do it without even...

    Nasty Dumpster area

    Always skeptical with new products that I have personally never used. There are so many out there they of course all claim to work but we know that isn't always true. Today I used the F9 Barq on a good sized rust spot and it worked just as advertised. No scrubbing no fuss, spray on dwell a...
