Looks like the property is well lit, that is nice.
How do you like the cab-over truck Steven? Any issues with the engine? Any idea how much for a rebuild when it is time?
Thanks

The cabover is great - had a bit of work done to it over the last couple of years, but it is a 2002 model and it has made us money... So repairs are gonna happen.
Hydraulic unit for brakes needed replaced in January, had an oil leak somewhere and needed something replaced in November (can't remember what it was - only that it cost about $2000) and cylinder head gasket was done a couple of years ago.
I don't like these big expenses, but they are offset against the money it brings in. Also, my time is better spent on other things - the guys at the Orlando Rush Truck center are fair with their pricing, so I leave it to them.
All in all, the truck runs great - I would stick with this type in the future. Rebuild price... Don't have a clue!!

Yes Nigel, it makes a big difference in how fast we can work through knocking down bug nests and eggs after we apply our soap mix!

Hey Steven! Great looking setup! Are you DSing there? If so, where did you get the injector? I want one for 9.5 gpm... What nozzle sizes? Thanks for sharing

Call Russ Johnson at Southside, he'll get you what you need.
I've used a few downstream injectors, the ones from Russ have held up the best.
We didn't DS on this job, had a lift for cleaning the tile roof, so hit the pre-wet surface with heavy soap mix to loosen bug nests and eggs under eaves and around decorative features.

That looks like a fun job Steven.
We did a building wash on a shopping center a few weeks ago and I have another coming up in a few weeks. We spread the last one out over 2 Sunday mornings (which I hated...)
How often do you wash buildings like this at night. Does it depend on how good their lights are, or have you done them using your own lighting?
