It looks like a SH mix for siding could be around .7% to as high as 1.5% will be suitable for most of the mobile home work I am after. If I understand correctly, for my batch tank, I could use a 10% bleach at a 8:1 ratio. A good sized mobile home might have around 1200 sq ft of exterior siding. It seems to me it...
We have a very small rig right now, but we are coming into a little bit of money form my husband disability settlement. Should be able to spend around 10,000 on the business. Here are some pics of what we have. The big washer is 5.6 gpm 4000 psi. The Lil one is 2.8 gpm 3100 psi. My trailor is only 3 1/2 foot bu...
Hello folks, my next step in building up the 12 volt wash rig is attaching a hose to the reel. This connection point looks like it might be under a lot of stress. How would you make this connection? The reel is a reelcraft sold as a 1/2 inch, 100 foot capacity hand crank. I don't especially like the lo...
We all have our horror stories with employees. I'll take any equipment issue over the past two weeks. Monday one of the office ladies came to work sick, apparently she had taken pain medication left over from a previous illness and it made her wacko loopy! She locked herself out of the computer, I got in...
My friends said. Hey man. Trump is sending everyone $. We can through one heck of a party after this is all over with. I said. I dont think so, if Trump sends me money I'm going to buy something that's going to feed me and my family for the next 10 years lol. Soo here it is best 3500.00 I ever spent. Always want...
Got an email from Art to stop by and say hello. I'm a year and a half into NOT owning a soft wash company anymore! I got the opportunity to sell last March to a competitor, who hired me as a commission salesman for a year during the transition. We had a great year last year and I actually sold more for the ne...

Came across this job today. Its a 12 year old metal roof, green in color. The house has an addition on the left hand side that shows the color of the roof and newer metal that is still the original color. The light, puke green color is oxidation. There is still plenty of color left under the this, just need a...
Efflorescence on brick and Pavers. Whats the best way to remove it and what is the cause of it. I have a job where the pavers are 6 months old and the homeowner wants it off.
Hello Everyone, I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Things ended very well for us last year. We completed the roof of The Inn at Spanish Bay, 190,000 square feet of clay flat tile. It was a huge job and took a long time because its a super high-end place and everythin...
I found this years ago and have been wondering where I saved it. Finally! I'm not sure where to put it or do we just keep it to ourselves. My first thought is to post it so people will have a cheat sheet and things get cleaned with the right stuff instead of like the stupid posts I see on FB. SH doesn't clean eve...
We got a contract for all the local medical centers. After doing the first one we see that alot of time is wasted taking lifted dirt to the closest drain after surface cleaning the concrete and curbs. If I could reclaim it as I go I would think that would be faster. But dont know alot about reclaiming units...
Hi all. Seems so normal on here with the usual discussions. Over on this side of the pond we are into total lock down since midnight for at least two weeks but probably a lot longer. Had a machine hired for a job in the morning €600 plus vat which is on site waiting for us but now it seems we won't be able to do th...
If you get pulled over for speeding start coughing and wiping your nose. He isn't going to want to be near you much less give you a pen to sign the ticket and take it back. Heehee.

Once its all put together and stuff... gonna use it the first time... what do I set the knobs at? I understand I have to play wit...
Since I do little roof cleaning compared to most of you ( mostly an add-on service to painting) I'm just testing out my equipment and noticed my Dual purpose battery is not holding a charge long. Its 10 years old! Some reason I was steered into buying a Dual Purpose one back them. If I am correct a fully Dee...
Debating on going to an air system this year. Looking for your experience or view points either for or against. I'm tired of all the problems I'm having with 12v pumps. Constantly replacing for multitude of reasons (and I rinse) AND I'm always looking for more performance when I'm out working. Many t...
This is my new English Labrador and his name is Hank. Yes I named him after Hank Timmerman. I have only had English Labradors and I have been in the fence for the last few years of getting a new puppy. I put my last 2 males to sleep 3 yrs ago and I wanted to take time off from dogs. Well my son told me he would co-ow...
For you guys that don't do FB. This is the newest product to hit the airwaves. It's not going over to well. The guy is spraying 2 plants. One with S/H and the other with Clenz-o-roof -- Edited by Art O on Saturday 22nd of February 2020 06:29:49 AM
It looks like we will start working on the new/used truck some time next week. I'm going to set this up with products from Midwest. The pump is stainless steel and polypropylene with a pressure switch. The mixing valve has a second soap port and is just $100.00 more than what the parts cost to build one. I...
I find a lot of times if I treat heavy moss esp. in colder weather and even if I smoke it with straight 12% it will die but not come off for a while. Many customers are not happy so I have to brush it off and even reapply. Sometimes can upcharge afterwards, but how much more do (if) you up charge up front for he...
