It's not off the hook THIS time of year... so it was odd to get calls about possible big-volume referrals. Hope you're well.

Props and respect to both you guys.

And that's the catch: if I didn't already live here, there's 0% that I could afford to move here... even now that I have a well-established business. Between the soaring home prices and the increased interest rates, I couldn't afford the tiny little house now in 2025 that I bought back in 2010... and I definitely couldn't afford to rent an apartment. It's a wicked cycle and I understand why I see cleaners from Rhode Island and New Hampshire... but then I'm the one the homeowner calls to fix a problem when the guy from off-Cape won't make a 6-8 hours round trip to come fix a spot on the roof that they missed. Thanks for watching.

@ same deal here. Getting calls all the time because the home owner hired a weekend warrior or someone who moved away because they can’t afford to live here anymore.

Oversaturated with immigrants? I don't know the term "15-minute city." I'm curious to hear about the immigration situation down under, especially as it relates to job openings and the economy.

@ Well my friend, For some reason we are owned by America and under the stock exchange on Wall Street. We were sold to the highest bidder which is currently bill gates and his ku. We have plenty of land and resources but Mr gates wants it all to him self and that’s why everything is being squeezed in one area. India and China are overpopulated and sort help from Mr. Gates to reduce the population. Before Mr gates, White man came and made this land into a prison, but it’s a prison that I love. Mr gates and his Ku Klux Klan turned it into his personal experimental lab. In regards to 15 minute city’s, Do the math. How would you contain freedom and be a god. 😟 but life goes on and hope that people wake up to the ku that are running the show.

Thanks Debbie

This gave me flashbacks to 2020, we needed doctors and nurses, and I know many who disagreed with the projected solution. (I'm avoiding hot terminology here) They were still willing to do their job. But they were threatened, kicked out, and ridiculed. No or less doctors seemed a better option with the growing pandemic. Seems like you said, healthcare is another broken issue, that has in someway benefited both political parties. Vital jobs that aren't filled because of a purge.

Thanks for watching and for your comments.

So many angles. As I understand it, though, the current system or path to legal immigration into the U.S. is basically an outdated and underfunded tangle of bureaucracies. I've can't believe that this is the best America can do.

@@yp77738yp77739 copper is far superior for this purpose than zinc. Copper has much stronger antimicrobial properties, but it is also far more toxic to any life down stream of it. It’s also far, far more expensive than zinc… which is probably why I see these stupid zinc strips being applied and not copper.

@ I’m not sure about toxicity. I know that in forestry they use CuSO4 to control moss and algae on tree bark and many countries still use copper pipes for potable water distribution in domestic and commercial buildings, so I guess it can’t be too bad. But lead was also used in water pipes and that is toxic, my guess is that it linked to the amount of acidity in the water and the inert metal oxide layer, I should know, I’m a toxicologist.

@@tonybersano2428 Thanks for your question and thanks for watching. Agreed that sodium percarbonate is cheaper. I illustrated this job with hydrogen peroxide for 2 main reasons: 1) Many viewers are homeowners who only have a pump sprayer for application, and therefore have a difficult time applying sodium percarbonate solution because it often doesn't entirely dissolve, clogs up the pump sprayer nozzle, etc. Hydrogen peroxide doesn't have that trouble with a pump sprayer. 2) The exterior cleaners who watch this channel are mostly set up with a typical downstream injectors for sodium hypo application. Sodium percarbonate solution can't be effectively downstreamed... but hydrogen peroxide can. Lastly, as I mentioned somewhere, sodium percarbonate *seems* to dry out my skin a lot more than hydrogen peroxide does. When I'm going to be "bathing in it" as in this overhead job, and the quantity of either is small, I prefer hydrogen peroxide.

@@backspace12399 yep. Been through all the same out here. I’m completely convinced that “keeping it bare and keeping it clean” is the right solution for more than 90% of homeowners. Give Kristian a call, he’ll help you out. Phone number in description. Thanks for watching

Yes 👍🏼

1) I forgot them 2) cats ?

Nice work 👍🏼

Sodium metasilicate is pretty alkaline so you’ll want to use a very mild concentration if doing bare/old-stained wood. My recco is to try a small sample spot on a discrete area - and then see how it looks dry - before committing to the whole thing. Those situations are almost always trial and error, because of the unknowable details of the deteriorated stain…

Thanks for watching, Old Guy 👍🏼🏸

Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching, they can be a real nuisance!

Eastern white is generally more difficult to clean because it tends to be softer than western red cedar. It’s more prone to furring up. That aside, yes, this is an acceptable method for eastern white cedar.

@@OutsideCleaners Great to know. I will try it and see how it goes. Thanks a lot for getting back to me.

@ good luck on your project !

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@383hemicuda happy new year. Thanks for watching.

@@MitchellMacinnis happy new year Mitch 👍🏼 hope you’re well

It do! Thanks for watching

@ It’s cool seeing the boats in the background. I grew up in Raritan Bay right across from New York Harbor on the water. My family ran a marina and I grew up in a boatyard for over 30 years. Stepped into this industry recently and loving it. I hope the Mrs is feeling better! Happy new year my friend 👊🏻

@ I love boat yards. 👍🏼 Leah is going through the ringer. We are both ready to turn the page on 2024. Happy New Year’s to you 🎉

Thanks 👍

Thank you. Clean on !

Thank you Michael

Right?

Thanks for watching! Dumpster fire here! Best wished for The New Year

Thanks Tom. Best wishes for your start to '25

Anything at all will cause adhesion issues: dust, dirt, mold, and yes, cleaners or acids which are not thoroughly rinsed. So rinse like hell after washing or brightening and before applying any sort of stain or sealant. I don’t use a pressure gauge so I can’t say what PSI I use. ** DONT TRY THIS AT HOME: it stings my hand from 6 inches but doesn’t injury me. DONT TRY THAT AT HOME ** Everyone that comes clean with me laughs about how low it is. ruclips.net/video/brhWY05fmoo/видео.htmlsi=o9rYdrP1dbPEBnJz

@@Boss302ATC thanks for watching. “Tell your friends!”

Lol Yep I used to do that too! Thanks for watching.

Around here I see lots of stuff like this which I think only gets addressed when the house goes up for sale again... the inspector notes things, the buyer makes the changes a condition of the sale, and the seller then deals with it. But until a house goes for sale, sub-optimal conditions just stay as they are.

Hope nobody finds out the hard way

Thanks for your encouragement and thanks for watching

@@charliefoxtrot7219 its not a bad idea 🤔

@@symplemynd57 bleach Yes, but not sure I’d used a surface cleaner on slate. Depends on the details !

@@OutsideCleaners the British guys do it all day long. AE Makintosh even has scaffolding to clean roofs.

@@symplemynd57 yep it can be done, but for me it would really depend on the details. I've seen meaningful variation in the quality and durability of new slate shingles, never mind the condition of shingles which might be 100+ years old. And how they're hung matters, too.

Can't be too honest. Honest is honest.

@@tomalley798 you’re not the first to say that 😆

Every authority tells us to rinse, and leaving a deck covered with acid which burns out skin seems like an obviously bad idea, so I always rinse. I've never NOT rinsed to see what happens. Based on research, what COULD happen: 1) leaving it on the wood could alter its pH over time. This might affect the wood's stability, making it more prone to damage or discoloration. 2) as oxalic acid dries, it can leave behind visible white crystalline residues (oxalate salts) on the wood surface. These residues can mar the natural beauty of the mahogany and interfere with subsequent finishes or sealers. 3) Without rinsing, the oxalic acid might not neutralize evenly, leading to blotchy or uneven coloring on the wood surface. This would detract from the uniform appearance of the deck. 4) any finish applied over un-rinsed oxalic acid may fail to adhere properly or could react chemically, leading to peeling, discoloration, or premature degradation of the finish.
