Well done  ;D (what is it you have done?)

Next time can you ask the guy to move the lance a bit faster - that way it will clean quicker  ;D ;D

Where is the snow! (just not fair)

 (what is it you have done?) sorry don't understand that bit

That was one of my boys

He was slower than that most of the time, probably a bit bored,  ;D

We didnt use any chemical at all, so the moss will probably be back next month

KFC supplied free coffee and food (well that's what they called it) when we cleaned up one of their drive-thru's.

Dave is the job you need the hypo for?

It is Roger. Metal tin roof. We've done a couple and softened the lichens with hypo. Worked well at 1:5, although I know what you mean with lead. I had that problem once with flashing on a canopy but the customer was planning to paint them anyway with lead paint.

There was over 20 workers on site, so they just gave us staff discount.

Yes was going to use Hypo on that job, but just used brute power in the end.

You know you can reverse the orange/brown staining that Hypo can leave on lead.

Just replied to your email, but yes give me a call tomorrow, after mid-day would be best as I have a job to look at in the morning.
