I have done 3 jobs with the All flo set up from Lori.  What a difference!  Just pull the compressor cord and start spraying.  Absolutely fantastic so far.  No charging any more, no worrying about the prime, just get the ladder in the right spot and start cleaning.  Makes this work alot more enjoyable....

Do you guys happen to know if I can use a 3/8 in (that is the diameter of both inlet and outlet) hose barb, secured with a hose clamp?  Or do I need a crimped hose end to avoid blowout of the hose clamp. thank you very much and have a great weekend!

Something told me to pull into the local pawn shop and take a look.  There it was a newer Porter Cable 5.5 horse and 11 cfm, the price tag was $300 and walked out with it for $250.00. It runs perfect, I be...

No New Posts Up on the roof or spray from gutter line?
 
(Preview)
Hi everyone, Do you guys spray much from the gutter line as opposed to actually getting on and walking the roof?  Assuming the pump can reach, would it be preferable to shoot from the gutter? Your thoughts are always appreciated.

Harnesses, tie-offs, etc. are all important, but the one thing I have found maybe the most important is a ground man. We never know what may happen during the cleaning process, and that makes an extra set of eyes vita...
