as long as it makes me a wee bit of dough to get me started I would be happy, then upgrade later when i get the work in to justify it.

do you use any detergents/acids as well, or is it pure power that cleans?

got a cheapo pressure washer for cars, but find you need a load of detergent as well to clean slabs etc

We just use water mate,

Advertise at the bottom of your windows cleaned today tickets and watch the work flow in in the new year in spring time,

People arent so keen this time of year.

I am really trying to convince Susan to buy one, hoping to convince her on Thursday when we use it lol
How do you loosen turf in the gutter, I have a gutter agitator. just worried about tipping the dirt out of the gutter everywhere.
I have a job that I have to reach over a lean-to.
I have got 3 jobs booked in on Thursday lol.

Use the point of the agitator to loosen the compacted moss etc, this wet weather means the basic wide crevis tool will prob be enough to break it as it vacs.

I think the crevice tool will be best, on domestic work in winter. all tools will be in the pouch attached to vac unit.
