If you don't want to post it, you can email me it. J...

Ok..I bought a Fatboy bandit from PressureTek last year (August).  Worked great for about 8 jobs and then nothing would come out of the nozzles.  I did notice some rust when I first sprayed on jobs and thought nothing of it.  Then again today, damn thing worked for half of the job and quit again.  The pum...

(Preview)
I hear that guys who spray lawns with Chems. have to call anyone on the block before they come out or send a letter to the people who are on this list. I was just wondering because it is a concern. Also I don't think that our chems are noteably hypersensitive types of chems especially when compared to ferti...

Does anyone have an idea of how SH affects caulk on shingled roofs.  I'm talking about the last ridge cap that gets nailed and caulked and around vents. What about black roof cement, if a homeowner did a quick repair years ago.  I didn't know if I would cause any black run off from old roof cement. (can't r...
