I recently tried some of Russ Johnson's new Cherry Bomb SH masking scent. I was blown away at the 100% covering of the SH and the nice scent of cherries in the air. We actually forgot at times we were working with SH. This stuff is awesome and as soon as I exhaust my supply of Lemon Ade I will be switching to Ch...

Been using this Versa Matic pump for the last few weeks and I have to say I'm more than just happy with it. The first thing I noticed about it was how quiet it is compared to my allflo.

Here is the final cut of the roof cleaning video I previewed here a couple of weeks ago. http://youtu.be/Av9V6oneyQw I tried to give a good plug to the NSWA. According to some critics here I have a voice like an asthmatic seal, so I found a nice British lady on fiverr.com to narrate.
