Not excited about this....Bend, Or 6pm yesterday. Forcast was for down to -13° last night. I've been here since 95' never seen double digit negative.

Can you run an unlaoder upside down?

I think this is the best option, especially when it's really cold! My house today....

Versatile product. Carlos, Paul Thank You!

So I was asked to be a part of a local charitable raffle. I was thinking about doing a gift certificate for X amount of flatwork sqft-age, spring clean-up type deal. Then I could try to upsell them on some surface sealing, more pressure washing, etc. If nothing else it's a good cause and a...

Im new to this whole rss feed. I want to be able to self market a little more effeciently by having the ablitiy to post in one place (my website, work portfolio blog) and have that info pushed out to social media. I figured out how to get it pushed to Facebook Pages through two programs...

I did a couple of jobs today and every time I pulled away from where I was parked running my machine I noticed a decent sized drip puddle. Looked a little closer and it seemed like the inlet line to the pump head was weeping so I tightened it (it was a little loose). Next stop it was leaking...

My largest, longest sustained solo job so far was a little over 12,000 sqft. It was the inside of a brewery, two sections of straight up concrete, one section of textured epoxy floor with the vats and brew equipment on it, and a 4,000sqft walk-in cooler. Cleaned everything and sealed all the...

Has anyone ever seen one of these or thought about utilizing something like this for commercial cleaning needs? http://www.aquacide.ca/home I have a line on one, cheap, practically new. Looked at it today. Has a 5.5hp Honda, Comet lwd3020, Beckett "cleancut" burner, electric hose reel. I was...

I've been doing a few carwashes lately, I use a mix of HF and Sulfuric Acid (branded aluminum cleaner) The ones I've been doing haven't been cleaned in years, it usually takes a few rounds of chems/turbo tip for me to get them clean. I apply chems to glass windows and scrub those. Been using a...

I couldn't believe it, I was about ready to loose my cool. I called my supplier and got a personal phone number for the owner of the company who manufactures the product. I get him on the phone and I give him my scenario, he tells me his employee was misinformed and the concrete needs to...

OK, So the job has been a real challenge from day one and when I got to the sealing stage I had major issues. SEALER ROUND 1 I started out with a water born acrylic sealer, Kure n Seal WB by BASF and i couldn't get it to cure properly. I tried to tent the whole thing and heat it up but I...

Dealing with a major pain in the ass sealer job of my own right now. See here for my thread (not updated since the job really went south). I used a water born acrylic similar to what you are showing, seen Here (BASF, Kure n seal WB). Totally clouded up, my issue was moisture and temperature...

Went back did straight degreaser and mineral spirits. Best result seemed to be mineral spirits. I used a soft wire brush to scrub it. Got down on the ground and looked at the surface profile, hit it with pressure from all angles thinking that the broom finish was holding the rubber. Just...

Thought they would be easily removed but I was wrong. Customer picked up on it and asked me to come back and try to hit the bike tire skid marks again. Used my normal concrete chem mix and full heat with a 15 degree wand without any luck. Any tips/tricks? -Calvin

Rained today, so not much progress. Layed the last acid stain at 2am last night so im still letting it dwell(24hr +). Correction on products: - Absolute Concrete Stain -BASF Sealers Front presealer Farside with water on it (similar to what we will end up with sealed).

Day 3: By the end of tonight the concrete will be completely stained. Left it for a few hours to let it absorb so I can flip to the other side of the double door. Heading back over there around 8pm tonight when traffic slows down. Ended up with some really cool marbling due to someones boched...

Day 2: Today's goal was to complete the stripping. I had about 500 sqft left but the challenge was it was the front door (the one and only entry). I built some temp walls and sheeted them in visqueen to protect people, cars, etc. and then was able to split the front double door allowing...

I wanted to start a separate thread for a restoration project I'm doing, stemming from a previous thread "Wet Sand Blasting". I ended up not using the sand blast attachment that I purchased, instead I went with a chemical peel (off recommendations from a few members here). This is turning out...

Chemical Stripping Ok. Day one, only got 500 sqft removed and prep'd. Here are some pics. I went with a chemical stripper from Sherwin Williams called Superstrip. Squegeed/brushed it out and vac-surface cleaned it up. Didn't remove much as you can see in the pic. Hit it again with...
