well we did 9 roofs today and could have done more. i learned alot about doing roofs in one development. my battery died on the 4th job and it did die 2 months ago. then we put it together we pumped out 2 batches with out driveing on the road! meaning that the rpms on the altenater was not chargeing the battery we were going from one block to the next, and pumped out 500gal of chem. i was allready pissed off cause usally roofs are only the 1 side ( the north side) and i put out the $400 speacial thinking 1 side but the first 4 the whole roof needed cleaning. so now i got to call my wife to give me a jump were down an hour were up and runing, get to the next job the hose blows cupling is bad we go to lowes and spend $100 on everything we could need. -washers, new knife, bla bla bla. on the 6th job out of no were the gutter came down loaded with chem right next to a split leave japanese maple! now i know how bad this can be so now i gota excavate around this bush and make shure its all good even went back to the store to get freash top soil for this dam bush. and on top of eveything else i asked my wife to get me a new pair of sneakers for this mission and she got me low tops with a viynal tread almost slipped twice.
so basicly everything can look good on paper, and to be a true roof cleaner you have to be a hustler and deal with every thing thats thrown at you. and i only learned this from being a tree guy for 16 years.
so why did i not do the 10th job you ask well i dont know how i did th 7th an 8th i was bearly walking with them sneaks and i ant got the stamina i used to have.
iam only able to post all this cause when me and my boy were done we killed a 30 pack and now i feel better so heres my pics of the day with all the termoil ther not compleate.
ps i will be loading pics of each job as a reply so dont reply till im done!

wow. remember murphy follows u everywhere! thats a heck of a day. my hose burst on a job a couple of weeks ago. took me a min or two too get it cut off. man, that stuff went everywhere. it was like a love sprinkler! luckily it was up on the roof.
9 roofs in one day? I'm apparently either way to picky or way to slow. Maybe I'm missing something here but there is no way I could do more than 3 at the moment.
Of course we always do the entire roof, but still.
Sounds like you learned a lot and still made some money, so pat your self on the back and get back out there.
