What we found out is that the skid is heavier on the hose reel side (Passenger side) which made the truck l...

Have your ever had your cedar shake roof inspected? If it is five years or older, it is due for a checkup and cleaning. Just like our teeth, cedar must also be cleaned and maintained. A well maintained cedar shake roof should last 40 to 60 years. However, if it is not properly cleaned and maintained, the c...

We are double stacking a 3/4 on top of a 1hp booster pump. The 3/4 is run though the PP and the 1 h is just direct feed from garden hose. I am testing the 3/4 on running a small generator. I will shoot them for some distance testing.

Normally I try to take the snow in stride. Snow plowing is part of our business. But for some reason I'm ready for it to be over. It may be my age or something else but I'm ready for an early spring.

I recently (in October) ran into one of my old college football coaches and he asked me what I was up to. After a nice conversation, I was asked to stop by his house to give him a roof and house cleaning quote. We ended up agreeing on a price and I completed the work later that week. When he came home that e...

I have never had ladders whistle while driving. I have had ladders on top of my trucks since 1988 and i have never had them whistle or make any noise.
