Greaser, We are about 2 hours North from you. Things are starting to slow down a tad bit for us as it relates to the power washing and I would anticipate that I will have some free time next month. If you care to make a trip up to the Bay Area, I will spend a day with you and help you along with a marketing plan and try to point you in the right direction as it relates to equipment. Let me know your thoughts!

Real nice read Ken....glad to see that you can call this year a success!!

maybe I should get my subscription in order .... just in case they want to do a story on REEP :lgsideway

LOL...you sneaky devil....

Hey Matt, Mail me one if you don't mind along with my t-shirt and the current issue of Cleaner Times. :lolsign:

Seven homes...not bad. Pics look great.

This past week has been nothing short of than "total failure". Too many things to type so I will save myself the headache ~ again! I am so thankful that it is Friday!! One more week and I am off to Lake Tahoe for a few days :)

I respect everyones position ~ I may agree or not agree with it, but do respect it. Maybe I am just out of the loop of things but I don't see the need to change a culture that every once in a while pops up on a BBS radar screen. There may be more problems on other BBS's as Everett mentioned but I do not visit them nor am I a member of them. I focus on this BBS because first and foremost the Administrators do a outstanding job policing it and managing it. As far as this BBS is concerned....I vot that "no shakedown cruise" needed.

I don't know the depth of the industry history as some of the veterans out there do so I really can't feel the pulse that prompted Everett to start this thread. I have not been on this bbs as much due to the fact that I have been super busy running my business. When I do "pop up" every once in a while, I sincerely try to offer and share things that have worked for my company. By doing this offers a chance for someone else to advance and better their services....plain and simple. As far as the arguing/fussing that goes on here and probably other BBS's...I just stay clear of it. I really don't have time for it to be honest. I do agree with Everett that there are probably folks on this bbs and others that do alot of talking and hype up what they can do and how much they make. I just figure that one day they will "hop~scotch" over to another industry and that will be the last of them. I have spoken to several veterans in the industry (both PWNA members and non PWNA members) and one or two of them have physically seen the numbers that we are working with out here....I say this not to boast but to solitify my position on this subject. For me, this bbs plays a very important part of where I would like to take my business tomorrow.

Thinking about adding yet another rig to our cache of gadgets and gizmos :) Anybody have any exerience and/or advice on the Delco's RK43 rig? I am looking at them and also a Landa for consideration. Thanks

Thanks for the input thus far .... I appreciate it! I spoke to the folks at Delco yesterday.

Jeff, It is on it's way! Hydrill, if you could supply your email address I will email one to you also. My fax machine is not hooked up yet.

Jeff, Thanks! It is always good to stay in touch with customers whether it be via mail and/or the phone. Good luck.

Stick with this BBS and similiar ones and you will gain a ton of knowledge.

Matt, What did the folks at PWNA recommend you do?

Sorry to hear that Scott...

A few years back we went to S. Calif during the "fire storms" to power wash home that were covered with smoke and soot. We donated our time and by the end of the campaign we were getting some very great press. We thought about the same thing down in New Orleans but I think it is a little premature to head down there. Please let us know if there are some of you out there that are planning to do this in New Orleans and/or neighboring states.

Doug, That explains why you would not power wash...:) Best of luck.

Good to see you otherwise. Business has been great this year. I am in my new home that we just bought...still unpacking though. As far as the fires, they are down in Alan's neck of the woods.

As a painter don't you powerwash before you paint? Just curious...

Hey Semore...good to see that you made it through the "eye" of the storm down there. Hope your business has not been negatively affected by the storm(s).

Thanks Beth

So it is just being moved to a new server? That is a little bit different than a new PWNA website. So ... which is it? New site or new server?

Congrats Craig on your success.

Thanks for the update Michael
