Alright I've done tons of reading, but still alittle confused on the %% of SH to water. From what I've read around 30% Sh  and 70% water is right around the magic mix for shingles. Not bringing up Ammonyx or anything yet. Doesn't that cut the 12.5% down around 5 something %. If so how is that better then sto...

  I can't stand winter.  Not even the relatively mild winters of Virginia.  So, I thought I'd convince the warden to try the snowbird thing once the last kid leaves the nest next year. She isn't in to it, but gave me the green light to give it a whirl. This year if I want... I'm still in the thinking stage, bu...

Just looking at the can I somehow get it on me. I wouldn't rea...

We had a good rain a few days ago and the parts we didn't rinse look great. Is it a good practice to hit a light gray roof a...

Attached is a download right from certainteed that a homeowner gave to me. They asked me to clean their roof, and certainteed is going to pay for it. Their shingles are only 4 years old, and have black streaks on them already. Thought everyone would like to have a copy of this in their arsenal.

No New Posts Flojet Pentaflex 7.0 Just wondering. I read a lot of posts on this pump, what is the current feeling about it? ( 1 2 )
 
(Preview)

I like that, because it's fast enough, yet, easy enough to control runoff. I do have a few 5 gpm Delavans too thoug...
