  1. It is that time of the year were I tell everyone sorry busy. Time to make the donuts.
  2. Never really understood why anyone is done for season. If money is on the table go get it. Can understand if it is wood but anything just cleaning you need to go get it before they change there mind or something else comes up and they don’t do it.
  3. Great time. Love all the old timers like me. Rick, Diamond, Jake, Tom, Jim, Mike,Tom. I had a great time hanging with them and everyone that was there.
  4. You need to Max out in busy months to get the most your company can and lay off guys for 3 months. Let them make you and them more money when you can get it.
  5. Keep getting the most you can. Buy more trucks. Get the better equipment. Make your guys better and get them to be as efficient as possible. How many jobs can your company do. What if you had 3 more trucks. Can you book 80 jobs a week and still be out 2 weeks. You will lose money if you are booked more than 10 days. Big decisions if you want to get the most in a month. What is the most your company can do in 1 month?
  6. 22 degrees today so I went out soliciting.

    You should do any work you can. If they only work half a day it is better than nothing and if you do them now then you can fill that spot in 2weeks with another customer.
  7. We have a lot. What do you want. Houses. When I get in my office I can send a lot.
  8. What do you do to get ready for spring?

    Setting new goals. Make sure trucks are ready to go and going over marketing. Keep networking. Also hiring more people and making sure to keep sales going. Should be another good year as soon as it stops snowing. Look into other ways to make more money.
  9. Can anyone help?

    You need to focus on your business you have and make that better before you spend more time on trying to learn something new. Start lessening to tapes is good, but you need to ask yourself what you want and where you want to go. Make a new business plan and goals. Before moving on to a new venture make the business you have better. Read the book focus.
  10. That is called the tuff molder.
  11. Preparing for spring 2014

    Hiring more people advertising more and kicking but. Keep going forward. Get another sales guy and bump up my advertising that worked. Also get another office person so I can do more sales.
  12. I am getting the same thing. I do not like it.
  13. For the right price you can do it.
  14. Sodium Hypochlorite Prices

    So busy had to get another tank. Now got 4-275 gal. It adds up. Glad it warmed up and we can cut back on using as much.
  15. Still not golfing and it is killing me. Foot is still a problem. Not healing properly. I am to not put any pressure on it? What the hell. All I have been doing is staying in the office and working. Fired one of the girls (my fault just could not stand her) and it has been good, I have been booking more jobs and staying on top of everything. Got another big truck with all the good stuff and as much as I hate it I can say that it has been great for business. When I am good I will golf everyday. if it does go the other way I may lose my big toe and it will not be good for golf?
  16. Jake call me Monday I have a big cedar shake roof job on 24 buildings and they want them cleaned and sealed so I told them about Armstrong and they liked it? Still do not want to seal but can not turn down money and I do know how to clean and seal.
  17. All you woodies. Stain and dry it is to much. I hate all this wood, when are you coming. I want to change my color. You missed a spot. I se a splinter. My dog ran on it. It rained. It was to hot. It was still wet. I need it done tomorrow. Give me a nice composite deck to clean and not seal.
  18. What do you put on pressure treated?
  19. Brings back memories of when I liked doing wood.
  20. New toy for retirement

    I do love how my 500 sl drives. It has some good power and the hard top is so much nicer than our old one with the soft top.
  21. New toy for retirement

    Good to here you are able to enjoy some good retirement plans. Hope all is well. Let me know if you need anything. I just got another new flatbed. Stop over the shop anytime.
  22. Time to make the donuts

    Doing it with my sales guy. He has worked in the field for 12-13 years and knows everything. He is doing most of my residential sales and is doing well. He Made over 2,700 in the last 2 weeks.
  23. Time to make the donuts

    What I am saying is that if you are booked out more than a week and tell people I can not get to you for 3-4 weeks you are losing money.
  24. Time to make the donuts

    That is one of the reasons why I have black underwear now.
