I just completed this job at Florida State University (Montgomery Hall). Its a 90 year old building and I thought you guys would appreciate how much the soft limestone had eroded though the years. On the inside of some of the protected archways you can see the original tooling marks, but this have all b...
Learned a new trick today. I'm not stealing Charlie's Back links, but there is other guys in my area that rank at the top. Just go here https://ahrefs.com/backlink-checker Put in their link and sign up in the directory there in. Some of them have a good back link. This isn't under handed, its just a g...
Jeff Wibble brought up the death of forums in another post due to all the FB groups. There are few rules on the FB posts and we all (most) have seen some interesting posts there. His comments got me to do some easy searching here to see what the numbers are in the past 30 days. We have had 25 people visit NSWA r...
I got sick of using soft keys or so called hardened shaft keys,..seems everytime I tear down at the end of the season,..I never knew what I was going to get when I pulled the gearbox off the engine. nd it was never pretty,..until this past tear down. The shaft key looked brand new and so did the crank on the...
Ok,..I know what it does,..but what is it called. I only have one,...a welder friend of mine gave it to me,..said they use it on commercial buildings. It grabs a cable,..or in our case,..a hose,..and then you can hang it from the ladder rung or gutter,..to keep the hose from trying to find the ground....
Aloha everyone! I am curious to know what is a good bleach neutralizer? Is there a homemade one? also Plant wash what is a good one and can i make my own? I have a hard time ordering chemicals to Hawaii and I am not busy enough to order in bulk yet. Please help !
Why on earth would anyone pay 799.00 for a manual 12 inch titan hose reel? Why on earth again would anyone pay 849.00 for a 7 gallon tank and a metering valve? Why would any pay 849 for 2 u shaped pieces of aluminum? 1200 for a 50 gallon tank? 979 for a charging unit? 1999.00 for an 18" electric titan with 1/2 b...
Here is a picture of my remote DS with proportioner. That is a 2 GPM 12V feeding 10 GPM PW,..pulls SH/ and soap separately,..no real setting just wide open on SH with the soap cracked,...Even with 10 GPM makes a solution that will smoke typical black and green algae on siding. The valve you see next to t...
I have known the manager at Auto Zone since he was a new counter boy for about 10 years. He has been talking to me about cleaning the sidewalks and concrete in the lot. I went in the other day to by wiper blades and he had me sign up as an approved contractor. It can only be done at the store so take your FED ID and...
I showed this a LONG time ago but thought I'd show it again. These regular 3/8" couplers work just as good as a Super Swivel,..and even better from a maintenance standpoint. These will allow the reel to spin while there is no pressure on the reel,..which is the way I set up,..I pull the hose out then star...
I started using these boots this past season around July. As long as they keep making them available and not changing the design,..the Muck boots won't see my feet again. These boots beat them by far in comfort, werbility,..meaning they flex nice,..like wearing sneakers, they have awesome tract...
We are quoting a 14 Unit complex with 4 individual units per building- 56 Total Units. I was considering pricing per unit versus per building, so each homeowner's cost is a small fraction of the total invoice amount. Any input on how to present this? What have you found is the best way to price this typ...
Help with chemical choice. I have been asked to clean a big eyesore on our main street in town. I tested Agent Blue with follow up F9 and Gutter Butter with F9 follow up and same process with EBC. Nothing breaks it down with ease but with brushing I can get it clean Any other suggestions?
The Kuri-Tec I bought for this past season didn't seem like the same quality as before. Was twisty and not as manageable as before,..even in the heat it was cantankerous. Think I may try the Flex Tech hose this coming season. Anyone try this hose yet? Jeff
purchased a 2gpm Delavan pump rated at 8amps max. Usually I purchased prewired and my 7gpm fatboy is rated for abt 26amps max but was prewired with 30amp fuse. Should I wire inline a 10amp fuse or other?
Guys, We seem to be having a challenge with siding this year. For some reason we are seeing a lot of dirty stains appearing on siding after it's dried. Look closely at the attached photos. I am not aware of having this issue last year. The crew soft washed two houses today. I later went and inspected them....

Have you guys been getting a lot more Insurance work then usual. I did three roof cleanings this week from Insurance Inspections. I probably did a least 20 this year. They are all over the dirty roofs problem. They go to the homes with a camera on a stick and inspect the roofs. Its been working out good fo...
I was looking at a five unit property yesterday and this strange discoloration is on the side of roof without algae. Each unit has the same thing. I am pretty sure it's from the copper caps because I see the same thing at the copper eyebrow vents. If we get the work (for spring) I already said I would do a tes...
What kind of tank setups do you guys have on your rigs when using a mixing valve or pro portioner? How many gallons for SH and how many gallons for water using a float valve? Trying to figure out next years setup with or without a flatbed. I'm open to removing the 2 130gallon tanks I have now or keep them and a...
Just like the title says what is the worst moss, lichen, algae covered roof you have cleaned? Dont think this was the worst. But its definitely top 3. Have got to love those oak trees. 💰💰
This has been a crazy year! Not a week that hasn't been full even with the summer lull. I instructed Leah today to put all new work off to 2019 unless it is a repeat customer. It is going to be tough to get it all done before Christmas! How and why? The starting place was RCIA and some strong personalities wit...
