It's Week 12 the last week for Genius Hour. I am really happy with all the progress I made during this project with my business. I may have not accomplished my goal but I learned a lot of new things like the attachments i needed also the chemicals and how much you have to invest into gas for your vehicle and pressure washer. and what to do when something breaks I finished with a little over a thousand dollars which is really good for me since i'm just starting.I feel like if I would have started this project earlier during the warmer weather I would have made a lot more progress and money. I am very excited for the upcoming summer season so I can continue making more progress and of course making more money.

It's getting a lot colder now so no one is calling me but either way it's bad to pressure wash in the cold because. My hoses could freeze and cause damage to the pressure washer I have already had to put my pressure washer in the shop due to water getting into the air filter and carburetor I had to fix everything.Even tho it's getting cold out I will still invest into things for my pressure washer.
For week 8 I forgot to post about a job I had a couple weeks ago so ill post it for week 8.My friend Tj Sigler who is apart of young life asked me to come pressure wash the young life building.It was a small little area outside that was concrete but it was very dirty with dirt and dried mud It took me 1-2 hours I charged him 125 for the job I will post the pictures down below. For week 7 I made business cards and have put them at different places to promote my business.I put some business cards at La Carreta in advance I also put some at Sheetz and gave some to my parents and sibling so they can take to work
For week 6 I ended up buying a surface cleaner and a new attachment for the pressure washing gun. Its called turbo nozzle. What it does is it spreads out where the water and pressure is cleaning it also helps get tougher stains out like mud and dirt. t also gets the job done cleaner and faster it helps better with sidewalks or bigger driveways.
For week 5 I did not have anyone call me this week either but. I have used my pressure washer for smaller things like brick tiles around my house and the white fencing around my house.I also have made investments like buy soap and also change the oil in my pressure washer and buy a new filter. I also need to buy a surface cleaner to make my jobs easier and look better also take less time.
For week 3 I got a call to pressure wash the trim of some windows at a building. I charged just 40 because it was a quick and easy job but the lady gave me a extra 20 dollar tip.'I didn't get a before and after picture of the windows but there is a photo I took of them ill post it down below
