Have a customer that we are doing quite a bit of work for in the next couple weeks. She asked me to see what I could do with this address sign. I have no idea what it would take to clean this and thought someone here may know. Any tips? It seems to be bronze.

Ok guys, I need some more help here. We washed this house a week and a half ago. Used VERY low pressure because of bad oxidation. Downstreamed our usual mix of 50/50 12.5% and water with some roof snot. To take the oxidation off the whole house, we used Russ' BD200 mixed 20:1 applied with a pump...

I was working on the Delco skid the other day (just swapping out filters and general maintenance stuff) and got to noticing that I'm out of diesel AGAIN. I stuck the fuel line in a 5 gallon can of diesel and it sucked it dry in about 10 minutes. I was stunned at how fast it drank it. With the...

Here is one I did last year. Turned out great and customer was extremely happy.

To make a long story short, I had a roof mix in my only soap tank on my trailer. Mix was 20 gallons 12.5%, 30 gallons water, and some Roof Snot. I had some house washes lined up and had to DS this mix as a house wash, which isn't much different from my HW mix (only difference is Simple Cherry...

I quoted this guy last year for a roof cleaning. He jumped on it and gave me the go ahead. Three days later, his wife made him call me and cancel because I was too expensive. Last week, he pays some hack a fraction of what I asked for and this is what he got. The owner called me to come take a...

James Hardie Siding Company. Anybody ever cleaned this stuff? The website says it is a fiber cement siding. Went to do an estimate on a home and the customer tells me the website says not to use bleach, but I haven't been able to find anything that says that. I'm going to call the manufacturer...

18hp Vanguard on a Delco Cobalt Skid. At first, when the key was turned it would click (thump like the starter gear would hit the flywheel but wouldn't quite engage) a few times in a row, then after the 4th or 5th key turn, it would fire right up. Now the starter does NOTHING. When the key is...

Hey guys, I did a couple searches and all I could find was how to remove rust on concrete. My question is, how do you remove rust stains from asphalt shingles?? I booked a roof cleaning today that has some staining around the chimney. I told the homeowner that I doubt I could get that off and he...

No pressure roof washing in Cookeville, TN. Before, during, and after. A heavy rainstorm came through as I was packing up....so I waited and got a good after pic. This was done back in June.

Hey guys, I JUST got this in my email from Keith at KBK Graphics.:thumbup2: I was wondering what you guys thought since this is my first "true" logo. I love it, but want to make sure that's just not the excitement of having my own logo.:yeah:

This is just a taste. Go to www.facebook.com/moosetracksps to see all the pics from the day. We cleaned the roof, house, and the inside of the gutters. We did NOT do the decks. It started POURING rain as soon as I got done with everything. Got some Goodyear Plyovic hose and Talon from Russ...

This may sound like a dumb question,but it's the first time I've had to do the roof AND clean out the gutters on the same house, at the same visit. Would you rather wash the roof, then clean out the gutters, or clean them out and THEN wash the roof? These gutters are packed FULL with debris and...

First the pressure washer messes up. Called Russ and he helps figure out whats wrong, and gets me the parts. FIXED. Then my weedeater goes out (I do lawn care also and don't have a backup trimmer). Costs more to fix it then it cost me new. So get a new one. Problem FIXED. Load up this morning to...

Well, replaced plugs, both of which are getting spark, new unloader installed. Ran smoother, but still not generating the pressure it should. After a while on the phone with Russ, he had me check the high pressure seals and packing. Here is the pic of what I found. Parts on the way Monday...

Got a small problem. Went to change the pump oil on my Delco Cobalt (TS1021 if I rmemeber correctly). I ordered GP brand pump oil, but didn't order enough. The level is up to the sight glass, but not the middle as recommended. I won't run it at this level, but was wondering if I could get some...

Had to post this. Hopefully a learning experience for others too. Working on a house wash about a week ago. Simple ~2500sq ft one story. I'm working on the front porch while one of my guys was brushing the gutters around the corner. He is using f-13 at about 15-1. He comes around the corner...

Between these, the new Fatboy roof setup, and possibly a new Bobcat mower this week, it's like Christmas around here! New shirts - ignore the TERRIBLE lighting. I'm at work at the fire department and someone keeps stealing our CFL light bulbs. The shirts are safety green (since I mow too) and...

I'm too excited to NOT tell someone. I just placed my order for a new Fat Boy 5/8" set up from Bob. :dance:My girlfriend couldn't care less when I told her so I had to tell someone who knows what I'm talking about. Got it with the "pump in a box" option. An extra $99 but it comes with two...

I have been thinking..... This year, my second year PW'ing, I'm going through everything and making sure that my business is, and looks, as professional as possible. Last year was more getting on my feet and learning the ropes. I use my cell phone as my business phone and I have had a ringback...
