Favorite/Least Favorite Jobs

What jobs do you like and what do you hate?

I love flatwork for mindless ease but commercial building softwash makes so much more money for much less time working that it’s becoming a favorite.

I absolutely hate apartment breezeway cleaning with water recovery. I’m a one man show and do the boom and spray method. So every 10 feet or so I’m moving some peagravel pvc booms and vacuum hose and spraying into the scupper. Killer on the back. Takes an hour to setup and the vacuum weighs over 100lbs. 3 story buildings don’t have elevators so you’re always lugging it up and down.

I enjoy those box houses wrapped in vinyl, super easy. Fences and deck rails, not so much.

Yeah. I just got a kick out of it. I clipped the end with barb and dropped the hose in there but of course it went in and out of SH and I was dinking around with the injector thinking it was on backwards. Classic shakedown job. Fixed and onto another on the list!
