    Hydro Tek Check!

    Henry, $9,500 for that unit with the trailer and tank sounds boarderline, but within reason, assuming that the trailer includes a couple of good hose reels. The only thing I don't like about the trailer is that you have no room to add any equipment. The best price I was able to negotiate on...

    Hd-80

    Ya know, I must be suffering from sleep deprivation, old age, or something... As soon as I read Beth’s response it occurred to me that the first wood restoration job I ever did with HD-80 was on a picnic table that had been stained Barn Red (several times) and then painted with oil based...

    Hd-80

    HD-80 works great for stain and sealer removal, but I've never tried it to remove paint and I doubt that it would work. My cost per gallon is at least ten times less then the Wolman's stuff mentioned below. For paint and primer (acrylic latex, varnish, or oil based) I use Savogran, Heavy Duty...

    Yesterday's Weirdest Estimate

    Wow! I really didn’t think anybody would respond to this post, but I’m glad ya’ll did. I think BigBoy was right on the money with his response and Mel was saying pretty much the same thing, just in fewer words. If anybody wants this one or knows anybody who does, (it's located in the...

    Yesterday's Weirdest Estimate

    Did an estimate yesterday morning… Just looking at this place, I knew I didn’t want the job, but since I was already there I decided to go in and talk shop. I got to talking to the bar tender (who was the person that had called me), when I notice this guy 3 stools down who was just too...

    Water Softener

    I have a 64,000 grain softener mounted on the supply side (before the holding tank) on my rig. The water supply line generates the only inlet pressure I use. The down side of this configuration is that I’m restricted to using a ¾ inch supply line, but I’ve been able to work around that...

    My 2 stepping needs help

    Bigboy, I know that you know who taught me on the Water Thing. I hope you 2 can get together some day. You guy's are smarter than the rest of us. Chuck is a smart dude and I think you guy's could learn something from each other. I didn't write "kiss my feet", in that other post, that was...

    My 2 stepping needs help

    HF? Give it a rest. Dinosaurs use that crap. Go with a good alkaline. Use SOFT water, that’s the “keyâ€￾. Yes, you have to brush them the first time, but that’s it. SOFT WATER rules.

    Yellow page ad

    I bought a display "leader" ad in the SouthWestern Bell phone book today. For those of you who may not know (I didn't before today), a leader ad is 1 col wide and 1/2 page long, or 4.25" x 2", and can have multi color fonts and graphics. Suddenly, 4.25 x 2" seems like a whole bunch of real...

    Burner Soot/Smoke on New Unit

    Hi Mark, Thanks for asking! The distributor was able to look at it today. As luck would have it, it didn't do any unusual smoking when we fired up the burner. It gave up a little puff of gray smoke when it started and a little more when it shut down. The distributor and his tech. both...
