(I don't know why the advanced editor is partially disabled) tried to upload as a file so you can just print it outwink
Sorry no can doconfuse

Supply List for Rig

Silicone spray
is crucial for me for unjamming quick connects or stuck chem injector. Heat proof grease works well as a preventitive and keeps things well lubed.
emory cloth for when quik connects just cant seem to lock when the tip swells (or for whatever other reason). i use the emory to aggresively clean the nozzles until it fits and the quick connect locks.
A crowbar to hold your ladder in place when it is at too large of an angle
A spare pump
Hose repair ends
Pump and engine oil
A dental pic for changing o rings
A drill, some various gutter and flashing screws, roofing nails and white trim nails
Extra valves and gun assemblies, extra tips
rope
a spare draw tube hooked up to a 6ft. piece of hose with an end to fit the spare pump
Spare trailer tire
pneumatic jack
4 way lug wrench
blow gun, air gun
roof tar, and caulk gun
buckets
road cones
MSDS and hazard sheet for SH within arms reach of the driver per DOT federal standards
respirator (w/ extra filters)
2 crescents
1 large channel lock
1 pliers
1 set of screwdrivers (various sizes and shapes including hex, star, torx, etc)
1 sockets set (large, SAE and Metric)
1 hammer
teflon tape/"chemical resistant pipe dope
duct tape
hose clamps
Fittings to fix hoses
various viton seals and O rings
manual tank syphon pump
battery powered drill
fuse
WD-40
fire extinguisher
small VICE mounted for field repairs

Supply List Page 2

Yes it is a tool, it can make you money, but this is a roof cleaning forum and all posts should be roof cleaning equipment & techniques oriented only.  Thanks!evileye

I thought Chris Tucker said it was ok to talk window cleaning? the word Cleaning is good for this site, after all this site recently attracted a couple of window cleaners, and I would like to know more about window cleaning.

I just dont understand how we can talk about roofs day in day out, obviously not, because thats why this site also thrives on some drama from time to time. so maybe we can talk window cleaning and skip the drama lol

Hey guys I just read this whole thread lol these recent replys are over a guy that listed a window cleaning tool? lol

 this will probably end up in the shade too, I can't seem to say out of the shade.

Maybe things have changed but I was asked to not talk about power washing by Chris several years ago and keep my topics confined to roof cleaning only.  Lets hear from Chris.confuse

Are you guys kidding Guys?

 First off, I don't know how Chris talked to anyone about any rules for this board SEVERAL years ago when it isn't even that old.

Second,  A squeegee IS a good tool to have.  Scenario-- Your Cleaning a Roof on a residential or commercial bldg and you get mix on one of the windows. (It happens to me all the time) Now the client asks you if you can Clean the spots that didn't rinse off too well. Hey guess what would be a great tool to have on hand??? Can anyone guess?

Third, Great job on compiling a list of things that we should all have Kim. I've got pretty much everything on my rig that you mentioned. I did see a few things that I SHOULD have but I'm missing.

Can anyone else think of anymore that we could add to the list?

I will add it to the list, by the way has anyone ever heard of a JellyBlade, it is used for cars. It is awesome, and could be used after a roof cleaning if there is skylights involved. or ground level glass.

Add a pressure washer to the list of things needed. Cannot properly clean concrete efficiently or effectively without a pressure washer and surface cleaner.

I didn't add that as I was keeping it exclusive to a roof cleaning rig.

That would be something added for anyone who has that as additional services provided. Any one can change it to their individual taste , just copy and paste to a word doc. and make changes as needed.

Take Care

I've made 1200.00 this week from glass cleaning. I landed a deal with a cabin rental company that has 25 cabins. They want all the glass done in each for 125.00 per cabin. I did half this week and will do the rest next week. I have a contract with our small hospital and several businesses. I needed something residual and something I could do during winter.

This tool is blowing my squeegee away though...

Man, guys have tools for everything, jealous yes, still washing the kitchen floor, and tubs with junk, I need a Tim Allen kinda tool. They just never put much thought into products for cleaning your house. Tempting to take a pressure washer to the shower walls! :) With my boys , I need that kind of power. Lol
