    My website just reached #1 across a variety of keywords for my area about ten days ago, but I still have not gotten a single call from my site. Considering that we're now in winter, is this normal? Are you all still getting calls in similar sized markets (cities with 250-300,000 people)?

Drove to the customer's small vinyl house, having to clean 3 sides of the house and thinking it would only take an hour or two at most.

    Down streaming ratio

    I couldn't find much on here when searching, but I am curious about down streaming ratios. For example, my PW down streams at a ratio of 1:7. Does this require a change in the house mix formula at all? Will a regular 5 gallon mix still work fine at this ratio?
