This is for anyone using air pumps such as All-Flo, Yamada, Versa-Matic etc... These pumps tend to stall at times,..very irritating if it becomes persistent,..these pumps perform very well when operating and are also the most resilient pumps to Sodium Hypochlorite. A big reason these pumps stall...

Going through a phase right now and can't find sunglasses I'm happy/comfortable with. I love the Solar Bats, love the polarization and the full wrap, but they tend to make my "eyes" sweat. I just bought a pair of Oakley polarized glasses also ( the Batwolf model), but same problem, they get...

Grand Haven is a great place to live on the shores of Lake Michigan. Many of the homes away from the lake are in wooded areas. And with this comes dirty roofs.

Don't know if this happens to others, but it seems like our commercial cleanings sometimes trend a certain way. Hard for me to find the right words to explain, but this month has been a great example. For the past 30 days we've been deluged with Hotels. Some are old customers having services re-done, s...

Not sure how many of you wear protective clothing like rain gear,..but I've been using cheap Hodgman utility waders. They come with a bootie foot but I cut that off and use duct tape to make a stronger ankle cuff. They go on easy and are lightweight and cheaper than than typical rain bibs. I buy them on A...
