(backstory too long) but suffice it to say if you or your crew use any pressure washers for your business, we rinse with them usually with a soft wash 3-banger attached to the pw gun but every now and then we put in a white 40 degree pw tip.

I cleaned a very old Church this past season,...and it has a lot of very moldy headstones. They asked me if I was interested in doing the headstones and I said,..maybe?

OK... I'm used to the wind in March. Actually, I have a love hate relationship with March due to it's inability to decide what to do as far as winter or spring. Now I'm seeing a continuation of the endless rain we had last year. I sure hope this doesn't continue.
