Well, we finally changed our name and had a new logo made. The concept of a water drop character may look similar to a couple on PWI, but we honestly got the idea from our twin boys that have World Industries skateboards with the "Wet Willy" character. We're pretty happy with it.
What do...
We have 10 year old twin boys. My wife and I hand painted custom surf/skate signs in both their rooms. Turned out pretty good! My wife did the Element & DC, I did the Quiksilver (my favorite since I used to surf) and Fallen.
Yesterday was a change for me. I usually do flatwork at night. This time I was working in the sun cleaning aircraft parts. :crazy_pilot: It was nice to have natural light and warmth!
This was definately the dirtiest I have gotten so far while working (I know I didn't even come close to you...
I did a bid today on cleaning some aircraft parts. Problem is, I use either Caustic Soda Beads, or a degreaser, but both say not to use them on aluminum. Parts of the panels and wheels are aluminum.
Any suggestions on what I can use to clean these?
Looking for a used car for my son who will turn 17 soon. Going tomorrow to look at a 1991 Nissan 300ZX. Anyone have or had one around this year? It's a non turbo with the t-tops. Just wondering if there's any recurring issues with this model.
I went out to service a regular fast food account tonight. Usually they have their lights on all night long (whole property lit up bright), and I don't bring my lights. Just as I was getting ready to start, they had a power outage, and I had to pack up and leave because it was pitch black...
I have recently considered changing my business name. It is currently Terok Power Washing, which Terok is the last part of our last name, Hasterok.
When I do cold calling, and I tell them my company name, they always reply with "who?", or "what is the company name again?". I think this is...
I'm going to start looking for a used truck next month. Probably a 2000-2006 model. Here's the things I want it to have: Diesel (prefer), 4 door, full size (of course).
Any input on what brands of trucks are better? I heard there are certain years of diesels you want to stay away from.
Anyone into airplanes? My dad's an airline pilot, I love aviation. Anyone catch the Red Bull Air Race in San Diego a couple months ago?? The Abu Dhabi plane hit a pelican while racing over San Diego Bay! Click on the middle pick to see the bird in pieces...:eek::crazy_pilot:
Got my home page and services page redone. Let me know what you guys think (honest opinions, I'm a big boy). :to_pick_ones_nose3:
I did it all on my own with the Coffeecup program. Still learning how to use it. Still have to redo the about us, contact us, gallery, and specials pages...
I am always looking to add additional services to my business. Besides power washing, I also offer window cleaning, concrete repairs, concrete coatings, property improvements, etc.
What other services do some of you offer besides the PW services? Maybe we can share and help eachother to grow...
Do any of you have tattoos that are family related? I got one on my arm when we were in Maui that is like a hawaiian tribal band, but the band is actually my 4 kids names, with my wife's name above.
I am hooked now, and want something on my back that has my last name, with several smaller...
Here's a couple pics of recent work I have done. The before conditions were pretty greasy in these areas.
I am still getting lines, sometimes very noticable, from the path I take with the surface cleaner. Here's the process I use: Rinse with wand, spray on degreaser with hand pump...
When you go out to measure a center for an unsolicited bid, what do you include? For example, the other day I measured one that had a national grocery store along the strip, and separate in the middle of the parking lot was a bank, and another small strip with 4 stores.
The grocery store...
Another Home Depot machine wanting to make $15 an hour... I guess some people are ok with that, and think it's good money (compared to the $8 they made at their regular job). I feel damage coming! Although I do give them credit for trying.

I have several accounts that have poor drainage in certain areas, so there is heavy staining where the water pools up. The pic below is actually a very minor one. Anyone know how to remove these type of stains? My degreasers and hot water don't even touch them.
I usually ran my PW at about 3/4 power, which has worked great. I was recently told that if I didn't run the motor at FULL power when I'm using heat, that it would damage the burner over time. Anyone know if this is true? It is a 4.8gpm, 3000psi Hotsy if it matters.
