I gave price of $260 and I’m doing it sat. I was just gonna see how far off I was.
What app is that?
Just did 1100 lf of 3 rail fence. Wasn’t too dirty. Charged .50/lf for both sides. Did ok on it. If I had to do over would be at .60 or $ .30 per side. Waiting on water to refill killed some time. Experimented with best way to do, will make a separate post about my results. Some good info.

Housecall Pro. Between it and Quickbooks I pay $180/month, but it’s totally worth it.

I think I ended up doing .55/LF I think if I was any higher he would have said no. He looked at it for a few minutes asking a few questions when I handed to him ended up saying let’s go ahead and do it.
So I finally finished the fence today. Customer was very pleased. Said I would be doing it every year from now on out.

Great job! when a customer says that don’t forget to put it in your calendar as an annual alert to call them if you’re not calling them annually already.
Thanks, They are a new one…got that job of off my first yard sign I put out at the end of my road. But I’m gonna mark it down so I can plan on next yr. Only thing I wasted a lot of mix, I now know I need to mix a weaker mix and put it in my new Chemical tank to have more. After my first 4 gals I did 50/50 and then downstreamed and it still worked great…

After fighting with overspray and creating a soggy swamp on one of these about a year ago, I decided I was going to buy a small, electric pump sprayer. 15 gallons maybe, and put 50/50 mix with no surfactant in it.
Put it my dad’s lawn mower trailer and pull it with the John Deere. White vinyl is tough to mess up and I thought that way would make less mess. I could rinse it with the PW, but applying that way sounded more fun and efficient. I haven’t had a split rail since worth going through that since. Lol

You’re never fighting with the lever action of the long gun right?! Even on stuff I have to pop in a 25 degree or 40 degree tip it goes right in the short gun. Friggin love it.

like the classic ballad goes: I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. Lol
Seriously though I really like it. Don’t know what I did without one.
@Racer Thanks Rick, I sprayed both sides about 50 at a time with my house wash mix then I rinsed with the my 25 degree tip.
I went through more mix then I expected. Lesson learned! thanks to @squidskc for a Lil tip. But I’m taking all advice for next time lol
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but @squidskc or @SPC did either of you ever try the small electric pump to apply and then rinse with your PW? I looked at job today with about 1,600 LF of 3-rail vinyl fence and I’m trying to figure out what my best course of action would be. I do have a 20ish gal tank and pump I use at home for Killzall and 2,4-D application. If the pump worked well I could have my employee apply while I come behind and rinse and really save some time vs downstreaming.
@TDclean yes I did try a 15gal 12v 2.5gpm sprayer, it worked great I also tried just a pump sprayer took more time refilling it. Voth worked but the 12v worked best.
