Well its supposed to rain here in northern Arkansas every day for the next 8 days. Ive never washed in the rain but assume it can be done reasonably well. If I’m wrong let me know. I figure the rain will help with rinsing but, How does it effect dwell time?

You can work in the rain just fine. If the rain is rinsing too much, soap it again.
I’ve done it in a quick downpour.
It’s not ideal. You’ll use more chemicals and take longer depending on how heavy the rain is.
Depending on how heavy the rain, it usually saves me time. I don’t have to worry about vegetation, and I can soap larger areas at once without it drying. So far I’ve not worked in a rainstorm that was so heavy that it was rinsing off my solution. The eaves do a decent job of preventing that if there isn’t a driving wind.
Just don’t work in a lightning storm. You could be a quick-fried power washer

I’ve been needing to change the oil in the wife’s car for a week now so I guess today is my day. Now, if I can find the motivation to get off the couch I’ll be in business. I did get my business license today so I’ve at least done something productive
Yeah man ,long as you mix sticks for a lil dwell time your good. I like to wash on cloudy, misty days myself
Blaire and I are remodeling the upstairs of the house. New subfloors and flooring and all new paint. So I’m working harder on rain days than I do wash days.

When I first bought the house 10 years ago I spent 2 years remodeling the downstairs. The bathroom lasted 9 years and I just remodeled the bathroom for the 2nd time.
I had never touched 2 rooms upstairs and they had carpet from 1990…
Once the upstairs is done I have to put in a new septic system that is field-less. And I’ve yet to start on the nursery! So much to do so little time!
I’m kinda digging the rain. I’ve put 22 gutter cleaning jobs on the calendar for next week at $89-129 per house. All walkable with the exception of 2 houses (priced higher than $129) and I was able to fit them all in around house washes since I rarely leave my tiny market. 11 hours of work reasonably at around $200 per hour. With house washes it’s still going to be a 40 hour week.
If you have a lot of painting to do you need one of these suckers! Best $200 ish I’ve ever spent. It’s the equivalent to stepping up from an electric pressure washer to 8gpm lol
I can paint a room in 20 minutes or less. And my upstairs has that wood paneling that are hard to paint because of the lines between. This thing shoots it right in.
