This is a purely theoretical question. In a perfect world, how many btu's does it take to heat 6 gallons of water with a 200 degree temperature rise above ambient temperature? On a side note, why are most pressure heaters rated at 500,000 btu's? Finally, and this is the most serious question...

We promised the laptop that I use to surf the Internet to a kid that we know if he graduated from high school. Well, he did it, so it is gone. I decided I might like an iPad. So, my wife was out of town last week and came home bearing gifts...I got an iPad. Fornsurfing the Internet in my...

I hate my Whackberry Storm. Too many problems, and so I am looking forward to a new phone. I am thinking the HTC Incredible just might be the ticket. Faster than an Iphone, Android OS, and Verizon.

I did a job today. I don't often work on Saturday anymore, but my week fell apart on, oh, Monday, and so I had a small job to do today. I was just doing it by myself, so no big deal. So, I go to do this small job, paint prepping a 1300 foot fence. It took me 3 hours. Remember, this is...

I thought I would take a poll on what Lou should wear to his High School reunion. You need some background, he grew up in a VERY mormon community, and he isn't. If you have ever seen Mormon missionaries, you know they are all about the suits, white shirts and ties. It continues as normal...

Go Butler.

With Soleil's thread on grilling recipes, I was wondering, how big is the grill you use? I have two that are used frequently. I have a 50" by 19" grill cook surface. I also have a griddle that I built to cover it. Nothing like a large scout camp, of 90+ people that I can get hot pancakes...

When someone says they are licensed, bonded, and insured, in this industry, what does a license mean. For example, in Arizona, there is no requirement for a business license to operate a pressure washing business. For doing the type of pressure washing most contractors do, there is still no...

Everyone, Tony has not been posting. So feel free to take (clean) pot shots at him in this thread, until he posts something...:happydance:

It is hitting a high of 75 and low of about 50 overnight. I don't know what I am going to do. :dance3:

I am curious how different people figure their pricing. I have seen some claim on here, and other forums, that they make up to $500 an hour, but then, that is just wash time. When you figure out how much you make, do you include marketing, including winter marketing? Do you include travel...

As often happens, we have rain forecast for three, or four days next week. It is supposed to rain 3" on MOnday, 5-10" on Tuesday, and then a significant amount on Friday. Since our annual rainfall is around 6 to 8", I am taking a poll. How much rain do you think will fall in Phoenix. I might...

I was thinking about it, and Scrappy actually got me thinking about it. He has a particular definition of success. I have my own definition of what success is, and I am certain that everyone else has their own definition of success. I am a 40 something that is far, far too close to a 50...

What do you feel is the most difficult type of pressure washing? It could be the sales part of a particular field. It could be dealing with customers, it could be the type of work. Personally, I think that the most difficult area of pressure washing is fleet washing. It is the most...

For all of those that are so inclined, the UAMCC convention is coming up and, if you want, you can see what is happening at www.UAMCC.org Some may think I am going off the deep end here, because I banned them from posting announcements. The reason I did is because I did not want them to have...
