Iv'e been reading through the posts on this board for many months and it seems like there is no end to the wealth of information here (the search button is my best friend!)
My rig is just about complete and wanted to thank Bob from Pressure Tek for guiding me in choosing the proper pump (Delavan 5850)/tips/Simple Cherry. Great guy!
Have my first roof on Saturday and have been practicing the routine on my own house the past few nights with water to make sure all my fittings are not leaking any luv.
You guys are true roof cleaning pros's and I have learned alot (and still learning everytime I visit this board).
I'm not sure if there is an unspoke rule about borrowing pictures but I needed some filler pictures on my site and found a few on Google till I can get my first before and after pics, which should this weekend. If this is in bad taste I will remove them.
...after reading hundreds upon hundreds of threads and posts, Chris Tucker and many other members have given me plenty of ammo to get started but taking action and cleaning roofs is where the true test will begin. I was so into getting the rig set up that I put off getting my Insurance (calling Joe Walters Insurance in the moring). ..... Patric, what are the benfits of becoming a premium member. Not being a smart azzz but just want to be sold on the membership fee after spending way more than I wanted to to get started.
I would say at least Ray, it would be a token of your gratitude that someone supplied you with this forum along with the information that allowed you to get even where you are now, whether you cleaned a roof or not. Knowing what you know now, how much would say its worth to know Bob fro PT and Joe Walters alone? Many of us here saw this value and donated well more than the membership fee long before membership was available. Not to bash you Ray, and with all due respect, if you dont see the value than you never will. Not because there is no value, its because you, and many others like you, will convince yourself that you cannot yet see the value and justifying that you spent " way more than you wanted" on getting started that you cant see giving another $100 to the forum that saved you from spending 3 or 4 times more than what you would have spent on getting started, if you hadnt found this place. Good luck on you new business Ray.
This site needs donations { membership } to keep running, you would be looking at future benefits down the road. You stated that " Chris Tucker " { the one who owns the site } gave you great ideas to get you up and running so you gotta be kidding me about " the right thing " to do.
Hmmm, You are wondering about the Bennie's of membership???
I'm SURE you've saved hundreds n hundreds of dollars just reading and applying this knowledge to your set up alone...I know we have saved thousands of dollars by reading all we could and applying these proven methods and suggestions...
I see you could use some pictures now...Join Us
Remember...we reap what we sow...more than you sow...later than we sow...
I hope your business is blessed...
Chris

Good point Mike. And I cant help to further say: i only chimed in on this because its funny when you see someone all set up with a trailer, noting the hundreds of pages of info from Chris T and others, getting help from Bob from P Tek, Joe Walters insurance, then almost in the same breath trying to find the value of premium membership. I am in no way strong arming anyone into premium membership but find it hard to stay silent. At least Ray took the plunge and starting posting, unlike hundreds of others that just start there business without ever acknowledging the forum. Maybe Im just sentimental. I was willing to pay dues for merely the opportunity. This place is has its issues. But I cannot help but to defend it to those all trailered up and ready to roll yet cant see the value to its paid membership.
WELCOME to Ray. He is now a Premium Member, just like he said he was going to be.
We also have another new Premium Member, Anna Derenthal, but I can't change her title because I have not received a PM from her with all the info. Anybody know who she is?
