    Hey boss, I am a local washer in your area and have been following your channel for a while. I appreciate the info you give. It’s funny because the only reason I am reaching out to you is about the way you grilled that corn lol. Get you some fresh corn in the husk, soak it in water for about 10 minutes or so… so it doesn’t burn as fast and then toss it on the grill… it’s a game changer man.
    Keep on Keepin on

I’m a little intimidated cause it’s not a “legitimate” business with no license or insurance, I just wanna do simple jobs to make some extra money, and so I need to be aware of all the things that can go wrong and bite me later. Bbq lookin great btw 😊thanks

    I just soft washed my first shed today and it almost looks worse than it did before. 12v soft washer. (Not a fan) 6 gallons of water, 6 gallons of chlorine 8 ounces of southern drawl. Sprayed it on the panels. I think I left it on longer than I should’ve and when I went to hose it off with water it was already super streaky.

    Treat the work truck like a fire truck. When a fire truck shows up on a scene, you will (or shouldn't) never see the firefighters running around looking for a particular tool. There is a spot for EVERYTHING, make sure that all items are in their place. Too many times have we shown up without an important piece of equipment.

    One of my recent mistakes was when i was trying to get my last job done for the winter. I had the wrong values on when i was flushing out the antifreeze from my pump, didn't realize that some got into my fresh water tank. That was empty at the time filled up with water and got to the job site got everything stretched out was on the farthest point away from the truck was letting what i thought was fresh water run before i began applying soap water keep forming. That's when i released i had antifreeze in my fresh water tank. By that time with the limited day light i didn't have time to drain my tanks and flush them out and return to finish the job before dark. Rookie mistake!
