Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know what i have been upto with my new venture...
i have been doing only a little Advertising and I'm picking a few jobs up every week now, i can't do too much as I'm going over seas in month for 4 weeks. but when i get back ill be doing flyers and web site etc...
i find it a real good booster todo alongside your lawns as 1 job with pressure washing is almost equal to 4 lawns...

today i did a pool area (concrete) Patio area and pathway i was in and out in about 80mins..im a little slow but right now i just want to do a good job...
but the results are night and day. I'm really enjoying it as its something different and a learning curve at the same time:!
here are some pics from todays efforts..

tomorrow I'm doing another house wash.!

Careful with coloured stencil drive ways, too much can remove the tint, and I think you need sandbags in the gutter to stop any pollution going in the stormwater > river systems. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wow sounds powerful, thanks.

Yea it sure is, this way I'm not restricted to what work i get, if its concrete cleaning to house washing to cleaning roofs, my machine has as little power as i want or maximum power if i need it,
Nothing worse than knocking back work because my machine can't handle it, the job you knock back is the job you never get back!!!

I finished a 13 hour pressure cleaning job today, done over 2 days . I'm totally stuffed , think its easier mowing lawns
