YFP…

Get the only gear tie/bungee/hook/, and whatever else a guy can use them for….

The rest are shit…

I’ve tried multiple things, rope, gear ties, hose hooks, etc.

There can only be ONE, and this is it…

I can’t believe some of you guys have been doing this for 30 plus years, and are STILL arguing what system is best.

Super strap FTW.. You can tie your hoses to whichever and also use it to carry your hoses out.. You can wrap it around your waist to keep the hoses from pulling down the stairs while using it..


GearTie is decent in a pinch too..

Gotta think fast to fit in this job before the 9:00 job. Too high up for the haul line, so grabbed the gear tie for extension of rope.
Went up with the Stepson, to try to do it in 1 trip, but too nasty of a spill.

All over 2 cushions and deck, plus carpet.
Got her done with my Hydramaster. PTO the way to go with remote control on off.

Used @Odorcide Fresh Scent to fix the coffee smell. Love that stuff for things like that.

Was 10 minutes late to pull off moves like this for 5 plus hours for first job

Homeowner never even knew I moved it. It was everywhere and on every ledge and coffee table. She prepped as much as she could so it couldve been more difficult.
You cant be scared to do a super job. I dont touch Christmas trees or any art made by kids, family, etc, and ask if anything is sentimental that I should be extra cautious of.
Just how I roll. I would get bored cleaning any other way.
Again the Kirby was the traffic lane beast today. Hit some stairs with it too.
PS
I called the first job and walked her through some questions at 8:50, and she tipped me. But she gave me the kind words that make this real.

Eyeroll… get some perfect bungees, IF there’s no where to tie off to on the handrail , open the closest closet door on the upper floor, wrap the hose with one end, and use the other hook on the bottom hinge…

THIS ISNT ROCKET SCIENCE…

I’ve NEVER had an issue with the plastic hooks scratching ANY painted surface.

It’s common sense.

But what do I know, we only do section 8’s for restoration companies, all the way up to 10-12 million dollar homes…
