  1. I personally find it highly annoying and can't hit my 'mute' button quick enough. Like earlier websites that featured flashing signs and a ton of animated gif files I think this gimmicky stuff will fall to the wayside.

    In a website I look for informative content, easy navigation, relatively quick loading and cohesive structure. Instructional videos are definitely a plus (like we talked about last night, Michael)

    I feel the same way. I mute it or hit the back button as fast as possible. Drives me crazy.


  2. I plan on getting a good one tomorrow. No powerwashing tomorrow, just floating around on the boat and showing the little one how to fish. Boat's hooked up to the truck, cooler packed, gas tanks full. I'm ready!

    I was ready but the weather wasn't. Rain all day. Actually I had two reasons to go, one of my regular customers wanted his deck done on his lake house. I was excited to use my new sprayer but it looks like it'll have to wait for later this week to take a look at his deck. He sent me a picture of it.

  3. Sort of. It's the part where he said "I don't have any use for it so I'll leave it by the...." Know what I mean? I know it was just a 3 dollar bucket from Home Deopt but it sounded as if he had the right to keep something that belonged to me but he didn't have any use for it.


  4. A message on the answering service yesterday went something like this; Hi this is Mike, you did my house earlier today, no problems, it looks great. You left a 5 gallon bucket behind when you left. I don't have any use for it so I'll leave it by the garage for you to pick up later. Thanks, bye.


  5. No matter what you do there will always be people that low-bid in this field and in any other field of business. They have always been here and always will be here. They show up at the start of every season and are usually gone by the the end of the year only to be replaced by another. There are also customers that will always go with the lowest bidder just to save a buck or two. What can we do? Nothing. Really, it just makes us look that much better.
