19:51 Puntadigital Micah, I found a 0070 tip laying around … would that draw chemical on my 4gpm ?
19:51 Puntadigital I guess it would, but wanna make sure
19:51 WeWashWindows you bet it will
19:51 jwebb Hey Alex, didn’t you or Chris mention that you pwing guys could make upwards of $1,000 a day per team?
19:51 Justin : Carolina Clean: dang.

19:51 alexwcr almost ready to start to asking questions of thad
19:51 Puntadigital I have a house on Monday

19:52 Puntadigital nowhere local then ?
19:52 Puntadigital ahh ok
19:52 josh_cronin micah are you going to reno?
19:53 WeWashWindows you can connect a hose barb to a male plug and it’ll do bout the same thing
19:53 Puntadigital the one they compare with the ladder saver at PWI ?
19:53 WeWashWindows No josh, it’s just too far away

19:55 WeWashWindows I’m glad you could make it to the “Pressure Washing Roon”!
19:56 Puntadigital :stuck_out_tongue:
19:56 Thad I was gonna sneak in and limber up a little
19:56 Thad We’re gonna talk pressure washing, power washing, softwashing, whatever
19:56 Puntadigital I have some ribs on the BBQ so let get moving
19:56 Puntadigital :slight_smile:
19:57 josh_cronin roof cleaning?
19:57 josh_cronin lol
19:57 Thad <ban Puntadigital>
19:57 alexwcr ok. fire away. lets try to keep some sort of order.
19:57 Thad thanks, alex
19:57 Thad corral these wild men
19:57 jwebb What’s the diff between power, pressure, soft?
19:57 eco friendly Its game time…
19:57 Thad power and pressure- just semantics
19:58 Thad softwashing is cleaning with flow instead of pressure
19:58 Puntadigital regional stuff like washing and cleaning I guess
19:58 Thad right, carlos
19:58 jwebb What are the benefits of soft?
19:58 josh_cronin what do you do most of?
19:58 Thad I sell the heck out of SoftWashing. It kills anyone trying to pressure wash their house.
19:58 eco friendly damage to soft surfaces
19:59 Gerd how does this work, can you just ask questions randomly?
19:59 eco friendly using high pressure…
19:59 Thad we’ll try to maintain some semblance of order
19:59 eco friendly lol
19:59 eco friendly good luck
19:59 Thad if someone asks a question give me a sec to answer it
19:59 jwebb So does a chemical do the cleaning in soft?
19:59 Puntadigital I believe that most of us have big box equipment … what would you recommed, hardware wise, to setup a soft washing rig with a 4gpm machine ?
20:00 Thad softwashing is fast, easy, and effective. plus it sets you apart
20:00 the squeege thad … can we define softwashing… what psi are you using ??
20:00 Thad a 4gpm machine will effectively softwash with 40 orifice tips
20:00 Thad garden hose pressure
20:01 josh_cronin under 1000psi
20:01 Thad NOT an Xjet
20:01 eco friendly 4 gal will work…but 6 is better and 8 is alot better…the 8 will shoot better…
20:01 Justin : Carolina Clean: Wanting to get into powerwashing. Bought a Honda GX390 13 Hp direct drive. What pump would you recomend? Watercannon said a General EZ4040G 4gpm / 4000 psi. Should I go with that?
20:01 Thad 8 will shoot better but you better have a tight setup to get decent downstream ratios
20:01 Curt can you just hook up to a garden hose?
20:01 Gerd x-jet is not considered soft wash?
20:01 Thad Justin, that will work fine
20:02 the squeege ok i have been pressure washing for over 5 years now in all reality i know tons of chems and chem mixtures that work well on homes esp vinyl…however dryvit is a different story agreed
20:02 Thad absolutely
20:02 Thad dryvit is big funn
20:02 Thad and big $$
20:02 the squeege correct
20:02 WeWashWindows softwashing picture by mbkommers - Photobucket
20:02 Gerd what’s dryvit?
20:03 Puntadigital dirt daubers(sp) are fun !
20:03 Thad Dryvit owners will eat ‘softwash’ with a spoon
20:03 Thad they won’t even take ‘pressure’ bids if you explain yourself adequately
20:03 the squeege however what do you do when you encounter cakes on grim under the soffit areas that the chems wont cleanand the soft wash wont remove
20:03 Thad what kind of grime?
20:03 Curt do you have to have a machine for soft wash, or can you use a regular garden hose?
20:03 Thad hold that thought, curt
20:03 the squeege dryvit is synthetic siding facke stucco
20:04 Thad a skim coat of stucco over styrofoam
20:04 the squeege lets talk of just cake on dirt oxidation , etc
20:04 WeWashWindows also called EIFS someplaces
20:04 Thad never had a problem getting that off
20:04 DeJay You need a pressure washer ,curt
20:04 the squeege a soft wash wont remove oxidized siding
20:04 Gerd thanks, now I am with you on this one
20:04 Thad No, it’s for cleaning not restoration
20:04 josh_cronin chemicals are the name of the game in pressure/spft washing
20:04 the squeege ok
20:05 Thad speaking of which, I’m gonna give away a downstream setup from Pressure Tek in a few
20:05 josh_cronin oxidized alum. siding?
20:05 the squeege so basically if you see the siding is oxidized you dont even bother trying to remove it
20:05 Thad right
20:05 the squeege no vinyl also oxidizes
20:05 jwebb Any eco friendly chemicals that do a good job?
20:06 Thad i pass on oxidized siding
20:06 Thad you will get bit
20:06 josh_cronin really? emulsifier plus DS’d works
20:06 josh_cronin never be like new, but better
20:06 Gerd i thought only aluminum siding oxidizes
20:06 Puntadigital ribs are ready - gimme 10 mins
20:06 Justin : Carolina Clean: whats the best chem for soft wash?
20:06 Puntadigital :slight_smile:
20:06 the squeege thad do you get involved in roof cleaning
20:06 Thad yes
20:06 Thad that is another topic
20:06 the squeege you soft wash that as well
20:06 Gerd what are chems for roof cleaning?
20:07 Thad not sure when chris is scheduling that one, but it’s on the books
20:07 the squeege ok
20:07 Thad let’s stick to power washing tonight :slight_smile:
20:07 Gerd ok
20:07 eco friendly lol

5

20:07 the squeege so basically your set up is simple… you arrive at the home … e-jet your premixed chems onto the siding , dwell and then rinse off…
20:08 eco friendly nice answer…
20:08 Thad would anyone like to win a downstream setup, a bag of Simple Cherry, and a phone consultation with Bob from Pressure Tek?

20:11 Justin : Carolina Clean: whats the best chem for soft wash?
20:11 WeWashWindows Bob’s the man to go to when you need PW’in supplies
20:11 Thad someone asked who I get my stuff from- Iget it all from Bob at
20:11 dfw2020wc 6
20:11 Thad best soap hands down is Simple Cherry
20:11 DeJay lmao.dfw
20:11 sethfenster For a window cleaner that does pressure washing as an “add on” is an X-Jet adequate for house washing? Or is downstreaming the way to go. Is it just personal preference?
20:11 Thad it is awesome
20:11 the squeege mixed with what ???
20:11 Gerd since you mentioned trex, what chems do you use for that?
20:11 josh_cronin has everyone heard o
?
20:11 WeWashWindows downstreaming seth!
20:11 josh_cronin window cleaner of the year everyone!!!
20:12 skinner new to pressure cleanining, how do you go about pricing jobs
20:12 Thad personal preference for sure but I believe downstreaming is easier and more efficient once youget it dialed in
20:12 Curt (5Star) bad link josh
20:12 eco friendly Thanks THAD…
20:12 the squeege i dont pw trex… voids the warranty… we chemical it and stiff bru***** in
20:12 DeJay +1
20:12 Thad i would much rather drag a hose than a hose and giant bucket of bleach
20:12 WeWashWindows downstreamer is less then 30 bucks too… how much is an xjet? 130 at least?
20:12 sethfenster Ifeel like the X-Jet Vs. Downstreamoing is like the soap wars. What am I missing?
20:12 Thad nothing if you have tried both
20:13 Gerd so what chems do you use for trex?
20:13 eco friendly Thad can you downstream with a noodle
20:13 Thad not anymore
20:13 Thad :smiley:
20:13 josh_cronin sorry
20:13 josh_cronin
20:13 Thad lol
20:13 the squeege i use a variety dependent on condition. i found olympic deck cleaner works well and so does corte a clean
20:13 WeWashWindows seth, the x-jet is still high pressure, high enough pressure to damage some surfaces.
20:13 Thad noodles have smaller lines, they don’t usually draw
20:13 Thad right on, micah
20:13 WesternExteriorWashing Thad can u use regular bleach and simple green?
20:14 sethfenster I have tried both. I guess I never got the downstreaming “dialed in”.
20:14 Justin : Carolina Clean: so you mix simple cherry and bleach?
20:14 Thad yeah
20:14 josh_cronin pressure isnt a bad thing…
20:14 Thad seth, i run up to 300 feet of hose downstreaming
20:14 josh_cronin u just have to know what your doing’
20:14 the squeege x jet can only damage if you on the tightest setting and your close up
20:14 Thad Bob will help you get it set up
20:15 Thad hey, if you’re comfortable with Xjet then stick with it by all means
20:15 the squeege agreed
20:15 Thad they get the job done no doubt
20:15 sethfenster I run 300’ with my X-Jet. I’m really happy with it overall. But the downstreaming intrigues me.
20:15 eco friendly Bob can get you started at…to …price range is broad…
20:15 Thad not carrying a bucket of soap intrigues me
20:15 josh_cronin not a fan of the x jet
20:15 josh_cronin exactally y
20:15 Thad somebody asked earlier what a minimum setup would be
20:15 josh_cronin down streaming with a barb tip does 2 storys just as nice
20:16 Thad who was that?
20:16 Justin : Carolina Clean: what is the best setup hose wise for someone just getting into it? 200 ft of pressure hose and 100 ft of regular?
20:16 Thad as much as you can afford
20:16 Gerd what diameter barb tip would you use?
20:16 Justin : Carolina Clean: any brand better?
20:16 Justin : Carolina Clean: goodyear?
20:17 WeWashWindows i like the goodyear garden hose from homedepot.
20:17 Thad i keep getting an error
20:17 eco friendly I would run a 8 gal cold…200 ft hose 200 supply buffer tank fittings…3---------.00…
20:17 josh_cronin i use 2 wire
20:17 Thad says i can’t post phone numbers or email
20:17 josh_cronin y cold?
20:17 Thad if you’re sticking to resi cold is all you need
20:18 Justin : Carolina Clean: what about pressure?
20:18 Thad spend the hot water money on advertising
20:18 the squeege hot is a waste at homes not to mention a pain in the a$$
20:18 Thad yep
20:18 eco friendly justin…I run 300 plus…but i work on large house that sit off the road…
20:18 Thad s-lines in the grass, anyone?
20:18 the squeege hot is only and only needed for concrete , etc
20:18 WeWashWindows i only use hot when doing driveways… and sometimes not even then
20:18 josh_cronin hmmm…my vote is for hot water
20:18 Thad ecofriendly runs a mac daddy setup
20:19 josh_cronin amazing difference
20:19 the squeege sure however not needed to do a vinyl home
20:19 Justin : Carolina Clean: what about Wand setups?
20:19 josh_cronin tru
20:19 Thad if you can afford hot go for it. the question was about minimum startups
20:19 the squeege you can get a hot box for about 2- 2500
20:19 the squeege new
20:19 the squeege used even less
20:19 Thad 4 gpm cold will make you a lot of money starting out
20:20 josh_cronin ya
20:20 Thad yeah, you can always add a hotbox
20:20 Justin : Carolina Clean: $$$$
20:20 WeWashWindows and those 13hp honda with the general pump will last forever
20:20 Justin : Carolina Clean: word
20:20 eco friendly craiglist…buy used from guys that have put 30 hours on something that doesnt know how to make the phone ring…tip of the day…
20:20 Justin : Carolina Clean: Thats what im getting
20:20 Gerd how do you store 300 ft of hose, on a reel? do you have a trailer set-up?
20:20 the squeege thad lets talk time… lets take a 3,500 interior sq ft 2 story home vinyl whats your cost and time it takes to complete with you set up
20:21 Thad that’s a ***e
20:21 josh_cronin used might be a bad idea…to many things that could go wrong
20:21 Justin : Carolina Clean: Bought my Honda 13 hp of craigslist for $120 looks barely used.
20:21 Thad anywhere from 45 minutes to…
20:21 Thad you stole it justin
20:21 Thad i’ll give you 200
20:21 WeWashWindows you can have plenty of troubles with a new machine too.
20:21 josh_cronin ya
20:21 Thad haha
20:21 josh_cronin tell me about it
20:22 josh_cronin i got horror stories about my kohler
20:22 Puntadigital c’mon !!! you weren’t kidding about leaving me out of the contests :stuck_out_tongue:
20:22 Justin : Carolina Clean: i know
20:22 Thad seriously, justin. you are set to make some cash with that. just get a surface cleaner and the rest of the odds and ends
20:22 eco friendly used…in most cases you save half as soon as something goes home with someone…I wish I bought used now…if it messes up fix it with money you save.
20:22 the squeege one thing in the pw biz that alot diff about the wc biz… there is alot of up keep and maintaince on equip. if you dont care for it the equip will kill you in expenses
20:22 Thad another reason to avoid hot
20:23 Justin : Carolina Clean: lol
20:23 WeWashWindows i bought a hot water rig machine and a brand new 28 inch hydrotek surface cleaner with hoses and everything for 3000
20:23 Thad lots of problems with burners and generators
20:23 josh_cronin nice
20:23 Puntadigital I used to manage a commercial PW crew and we had problems with the burners and gens every night
20:23 Justin : Carolina Clean: how do you price jobs?
20:23 WeWashWindows just keep looking for a deal and you’ll find one
20:24 Puntadigital and I didn’t learn a thing because they made me take it to the distributor
20:24 Justin : Carolina Clean: smaller stuff.
20:24 sethfenster How often do you recommend changing belts, motor oil, and pump oil?
20:24 josh_cronin good question justin
20:24 Thad follow manufacturers guidelines at a minimum
20:24 josh_cronin i do it by the hour
20:24 eco friendly Thad…problemss are trying to fit a non collasp hose on a 1 inch fitting…had 5 to do today…very ed off …rain cold …you guys that have shops …go to he99
20:25 Thad justin, i price my jobs so that I make a minimum of $100 an hour and I shoot for closer to $200
20:25 Thad I would recommend when you’re first starting to use a lineal foot or square foot formula
20:25 Justin : Carolina Clean: so averge middle class home 2 story?
20:25 WeWashWindows softwashing is an easy easy upsell before cleaning the windows on a house.
20:25 josh_cronin nice
20:25 Gerd how do you get to $200 an hou???
20:25 Justin : Carolina Clean: soft wash price
20:25 josh_cronin haha

20:26 Justin : Carolina Clean: just the house? no driveways etc.?
20:26 Gerd where are you located?
20:26 Thad Hattiesburg, MS
20:26 kcpowerclean what did I miss?
20:26 josh_cronin remember like window cleaning the costs very depending on location
20:27 Curt (5Star) chaos
20:27 kcpowerclean nice!
20:27 Curt (5Star) just chaos, kris
20:27 Puntadigital I want to talk about pricing driveways when we get to concrete - most of us only carry cold water equipment - so set the expectations for oil stains is important
20:27 Puntadigital Whazzup Kris
20:27 eco friendly Fl. pressure washing is very cut thoat.
20:27 josh_cronin curt!!! didnt see ya
20:27 sethfenster Micah, it’s the best upsell too! The two go hand in hand.

20:37 Puntadigital I want to talk about pricing driveways when we get to concrete - most of us only carry cold water equipment - so set the expectations for oil stains is important
20:37 WeWashWindows it’s a haunted hotel, just so ya know
20:37 kcpowerclean what about the cost of attending the events for a non iwca member
20:37 Thad i set them at zero, carlos
20:37 eco friendly i might split a room if anyone has one…
20:37 Curt (5Star) where do i bok?
20:37 Curt (5Star) book?
20:37 Thad

20:37 Curt (5Star) eco at nola?
20:37 WeWashWindows yea carlos, you may be able to rinse the surface oil off, but as far as getting the actual stain out… not really gonna happen
20:37 eco friendly los what is your min. for work…
20:37 Justin : Carolina Clean: Who makes the best wands?
20:37 Puntadigital just tell 'em it would look better but won’t go away ?
20:37 Thad i don’t use a wand
20:38 Justin : Carolina Clean: what do you use?
20:38 hot girl Do you want something Special ? come here
20:38 skinner id rath eep in the car
20:38 Thad right, carlos. it is seeped into the concrete
20:38 Justin : Carolina Clean: yessssssss
20:38 eco friendly lots of chems…
20:38 Curt (5Star) hot girl needs a softwash
20:38 Thad i just use a suttner 13 GPM gun and a JRod tip holder
20:38 WeWashWindows there are some powdered enzyme products that will eat the oil, but the results are not immediate.
20:38 eco friendly buy a hot box…
20:38 Justin : Carolina Clean: What would work best for my setup?
20:39 the squeege it seems as if we got off of topic
20:39 Puntadigital I see oxalic acid mentioned a lot … what’s that in plain english ?
20:39 Puntadigital or spanish :slight_smile:
20:39 Thad
and a gun
20:39 G So just spraying with chemical, no scrubbing?
20:39 DeJay <a href=“http://kentuckywindowcleaning.net”>LouisvilleWindow Cleaning</a>
20:39 WesternExteriorWashing Thad who won the $100.
20:39 kcpowerclean I think its a concrete brigtener
20:39 the squeege so thad can u describe ur set up or do you havea a pic we can view
20:39 DeJay oops!?
20:40 kcpowerclean also does well in brightening and neutralizing wood
20:40 Thad i haven’t given away the $100 yet
20:40 kcpowerclean oxalic
20:40 eco friendly Lou did…
20:40 WeWashWindows Oxalic is a concrete brightner, but it’s most common purpose in pressure washing is for removing rust
20:40 kcpowerclean nice
20:40 kcpowerclean where do you get it micah
20:40 kcpowerclean h.d.?
20:40 G Is Oxalic bio-degradable?
20:40 Puntadigital again, if I need oxalic where do I get it ?
20:40 Curt (5Star) my head just exploded
20:41 the squeege use safe restore… or better yet sulfuric acid … have fun
20:41 DeJay lmao,curt
20:41 Thad oxalic is primarily for irrigation rust stains
20:41 WeWashWindows you can get Ox in a pinch at home depot via a product called “Rust Away” it will be in the plumbing section
20:41 eco friendly surfuric acid…:slight_smile:
20:41 kcpowerclean easy to use?
20:41 WesternExteriorWashing Can i have Curts trip his head exploded?
20:41 WeWashWindows you can buy it in bulk from a chemical supplier as a powdered form much cheaper tho.
20:42 Puntadigital but the Rust Away needs to be brushed on , can you downstream it for concrete ?
20:42 Curt (5Star) head is fixed
20:42 WeWashWindows i use OX in a dedicated pump up sprayer. It’s only used for OX, nothing else.
20:42 WeWashWindows i don’t use it very often.
20:42 the squeege true that
20:42 Thad I just noticed the giant NOLA banner. Y’all were messing with me asking the date.
20:42 Thad :smiley:
20:43 WeWashWindows it’s in 2010 right?
20:43 Puntadigital yeah, just scroll down :slight_smile:
20:43 Curt (5Star) no, i’m that dumb
20:43 Thad me too
20:43 the squeege thad any pics for set up
20:43 Thad it’s clickable and everything
20:43 kcpowerclean That and Micah, what are you’re chemicals on your presssure washing trailer?
20:43 Curt (5Star) and i wonder if i need to work on my accent
20:43 Thad no pics, sorry
20:43 the squeege k
20:43 kcpowerclean Thad and Micah?
20:43 the squeege so all you use it that cherry stuff no mixing with bleech
20:43 Thad it’s just a simple 4GPM setup with hoses and guns and a surface cleaner
20:43 josh_cronin nope
20:44 Thad you mix simple cherry with bleach
20:44 Thad it works GREAT on windows, too
20:44 WesternExteriorWashing any bleach?
20:44 WeWashWindows it got quiet.
20:44 the squeege i will tell you what … but u gotta be careful and all and make sure u wet down and rinse off all scrubbery… 12% bleech works wonders and is cheap
20:44 WeWashWindows n/m, just frooze
20:45 Puntadigital Thad I have an important one (for me)
20:45 DeJay Will a non-belt drive pw pull from a 275gal water tank?
20:45 WesternExteriorWashing What if u can"t find it?
20:45 Justin : Carolina Clean: where you get it at?
20:45 Thad simple cherry works synergistically with bleach. you don’t need NEARLY as much.
20:45 the squeege yeh however the windows still dry spotted
20:45 Thad you can only get simple cherry from
20:45 Gerd 12% bleach is like shock from a pool supply place, right?
20:45 kcpowerclean dejay i think it will if it has over 100 gals of water due to the weight
20:45 Thad i buy it by the 55 gallon drum
20:45 Puntadigital when you do PW and windows … do you squeegee all the glass or just get 'em done while rinsing ?
20:46 Thad wfp
20:46 kcpowerclean me too
20:46 kcpowerclean house wash and wfp is a good moneymaker!
20:46 Puntadigital no scraping if needed ?

20:51 eco friendly caustic is king …not to eco friendly…
20:51 Thad sodium hydroxid

21:10 Thad depend on what they have one them
21:10 Thad dirt? mold? oil? rust?
21:11 Gerd kind of a black layer of sorts
21:11 Thad usually here it’s just black from mildew
21:11 josh_cronin do you use anything on regular dirt?
21:11 Gerd so SC would work?
21:11 Thad wet it down with housewash and then clean it with a surface cleaner
21:11 eco friendly Thad i just picked up a landa water jet…for 250 used…
21:11 Thad nice
21:12 Thad josh, if it’s really dirty i’ll downstream soap to lift the dirt
21:12 Thad if i have to
21:12 josh_cronin huh
21:12 Gerd is there a rule of thumb for how much cleaner you need per sqft of sidewalk?
21:12 Thad I dont have one
21:12 Thad I don’t use chems unless I need to
21:13 Gerd ok, just checking. I might have a lot of sidewalks to do in the spring and right now I am just guessing
21:13 Thad where?
21:13 josh_cronin i used a citrus stuff once before the flat surface cleaner
21:13 Gerd New Jersey
21:14 Thad new construction or just dirty old ones?
21:14 josh_cronin lots of foam and a good smell but not great results
21:14 Gerd old ones
21:14 Thad i got a 55 gal drum kit of that citrus stuff from e-spec in my shed
21:14 josh_cronin any good?
21:15 Thad want it?

21:15 josh_cronin and premier from e-spec
21:15 Thad glad you like espec
21:15 josh_cronin night
21:16 josh_cronin ? you dont?
21:16 josh_cronin there close to me
21:16 Gerd what do you use foe housewash that doesn’t contain bleach so you can downstream it?
21:16 josh_cronin main reason for me
21:16 josh_cronin emulsifier for me
21:16 Thad i don’t like shipping surprises. paul seems a really nice guy though.
21:17 josh_cronin he is
21:17 josh_cronin shipping sucks there
21:17 Thad you can downstream bleach, gerd
21:17 Thad that’s the whole point
21:17 josh_cronin it is a 30=45 min drive to there wherehouse for me
21:17 Thad call bob tomorrow and tell him you need a downstream setup
21:18 Thad you’ll be glad you did
21:18 Gerd I must be mistaken. when you downstream you run your cleaning solution through your pump, correct?
21:18 Thad cap off that injector on your pump
21:18 Thad no, just through the injector
21:18 josh_cronin i dont understand y people use the x-jet instead of ds;ing
21:18 Thad upstream injection goes through the pump

21:27 Curt (5Star) no sarcasm here
21:27 josh_cronin haha

21:28 Curt (5Star) i wouldn’t choose him as my best friend, but…
21:28 josh_cronin micah loves him
21:28 josh_cronin i am not bothered by him
21:29 Curt (5Star) anyway, I choose not to be on his board because of the heavy moderatioin at this point, but he’s a good fella for window cleaning in general
21:29 josh_cronin im not on world either
21:29 josh_cronin havent been for like 2 years
21:29 Curt (5Star) and his fabricating debris stuff is the reason i’m not in some prison by now

21:30 Curt (5Star) it’s funny, something on there rubbed me the wrong way one day and I quit, but i don’t remember what it was
21:30 josh_cronin ya it is still kinda weird how many window cleaners dont know what fab debris is
21:30 Curt (5Star) are you in “read only” status?
21:30 WeWashWindows i’ve learned a lot on world too when i was starting out… but i leanred that from guys like you who posted… i havn’t learned anything from Gary himself.

21:45 WeWashWindows the website building of wordpress is extremly easy
21:46 Curt (5Star) look at you telling me all about your site
21:46 WeWashWindows i just need to figure out the best way to seo it up
21:46 Curt (5Star) you are such a showman
21:47 Curt (5Star) dude, it’s a long convo, but there are some really great things you can do at the foundation of it all
21:47 WeWashWindows is there a good site to read thatT?
21:48 Curt (5Star) you know, a lot can be found at google’s info site, but i like
21:48 Curt (5Star) and i pay the annual fee to use their analyzers
21:48 Curt (5Star) you youtube is an excellent seo tool
21:48 Curt (5Star) your youtube
21:48 WeWashWindows really
21:48 Curt (5Star) but i’d name it soething more seo-ey
21:49 Curt (5Star) yeah…
21:49 Curt (5Star) google loves video
21:49 Curt (5Star) fresh, new video
21:49 Curt (5Star) totally good for seo
21:49 WeWashWindows yeah - i want my website full of video
21:49 Curt (5Star) name your pics seo-ey things
21:49 Curt (5Star) use alt text
21:49 WeWashWindows that’s why i got it set up to run HD video
21:50 Curt (5Star) make certain “flyer pages” that will work for very specific keyword searches
21:50 Curt (5Star) call me sometime
21:50 Curt (5Star) i could talk about it for hours
21:50 Curt (5Star) and hours
21:50 WeWashWindows lol.
21:50 Curt (5Star) :wink:
21:50 Curt (5Star) call when you have lots of time
21:50 Curt (5Star) and you aren’t low on minutes
21:51 WeWashWindows lol ill do that, maybe when you get back from reno
21:51 WeWashWindows actually i just upgraded to unlimited!
21:51 Curt (5Star) and talk to doug
21:51 Curt (5Star) he’s smarter than i am for sure
21:51 WeWashWindows cool
21:51 Curt (5Star) and he could use the money with all of the rain he’s getting now
21:51 WeWashWindows theres a SEO like presentation going on in NOLA, so i hope to learn a lot there
21:51 Curt (5Star) but i’ll coach you the best i can
21:52 Curt (5Star) bring back the nuggets
21:52 WeWashWindows will do!
21:52 Curt (5Star) what did you build your flash slideshow in?
21:52 WeWashWindows it came with the template
21:52 WeWashWindows i don’t think it’s flash tho…
21:52 Curt (5Star) geesh
21:53 WeWashWindows all i do is tell it what pics i want, what kinda transistion, and how long to transition
21:53 WeWashWindows can also adjust the size
21:53 Curt (5Star) amazing what you can do without having to learn the tools
21:53 WeWashWindows lol, i know!
21:53 WeWashWindows thats why im thinkin web developers will be lookin for jobs
21:54 WeWashWindows or just building and selling templates
21:54 Curt (5Star) i’ve spent literally thousands of hours learning photoshop, illustrater, motion, flash, and other really expensive software, and people who know nothing can take me to school with their stuff
21:54 Curt (5Star) it’s pretty cool
21:54 WeWashWindows lol, well i know photoshop backwards and forwards
21:55 WeWashWindows so much so that my last site, was bascially a picture
21:55 WeWashWindows each page was a picture, even the text
21:55 WeWashWindows but as you can imagine, that KILLS seo
21:55 Curt (5Star) i haven’t built a site yet that uses all of the things i know to their fullest, because as you show on your website, you don’t want to go crazy making your site a circius
21:56 Curt (5Star) oh yeah, but you can still do a lot with alt text and picture names
21:56 WeWashWindows yeha
21:56 Curt (5Star) and tags
21:56 Curt (5Star) and links into appropriate pages of your site
