Cory did you use a lift or clean it from the structure ?

Did you use hydroflouric or a citrus based cleaner to brighten that aluminum ?

I cleaned the top 5 feet or so from the catwalk, I used my 30ft yellow noodle for the upper portion, and normal wand for the lower. I am glad I didn't throw away that yellow noodle, but I never thought I would actually use it again!!)

Jim, I actually used nothing other than cold water and 2000 psi tip so I wouldnt damage the fine mesh. Owner did not want any chems period on the dryer. There is alot of electronic computer controls etc.. housed on that unit. I do think it would have came out even better with the chems, but these guys are huge farmers in the area and I respect their wishes on this one.

Looks good Cory. Never done a grain drier before, but I assumed the unit included sensitive electronics and wouldn't be a candidate for am acid wash.

Nice work, turned out real nice for a water only wash.

Thanks, I'm pretty proud of it! Especially when the owner told me the people who did it last year took 2 guys 8 hours and didn't get it as clean as I did. It only took me 5 hours

They have had idiots use Chems that damage the casing on the wire before I bet. Guys who didnt know what they are doing.

Besides when working around any live stock if they have any you also have to watch contamination to water table. Many of these guy use wells and have open drinking wells for animals.

Good job and way to respect the wishes. We have and old farmer way back had and idoit kill two cows washing the drinking tanks and used caustic. He was proud they where so clean. LOL

I agree Ron. It's always smart to listen to the customers concerns. In this case they had several valid reasons for water only.
