  1. Mac and cheese- when my 11 year old sons friends are over this dish is one of thier favorites she makes ( from scratch ). One of the kids is very large for his age and does not stop eating the Mac and cheese and has been caught scraping the bottom of the pan and eating the remains off

    other's plates. I call him Mac and cheese boy!


  2. All these one day schools and soft washing marketing propaganda drive prices down. I've seen it already with roof cleaning. Prices have gone down which drives house washing down. Had a talk about this yesterday with another contractor . Roofs are driving prices down its a fact. I've been cleaning roofs since 2000 in Ct . I'm starting to see the results of bad jobs becaused I fixed a couple last year done by others.

    Get prepared for the onslaught of roof cleaners in your area and soft washing marketing propaganda!


  3. Nobody has had more of an impact on the industry I can see other than Cris Tucker Apple Roof Cleaning. He created a new industry within the industry . We now have roof cleaners for every 5 houses in the US. He truly has been an influence in this area. Other people are leaders within the industry but I don't know if there are influential. Other people our specialist within the industry.


  4. All my wood care work is maintenanced based. Which turns into maintaining the property for life . I used to do a ton of yearly of the horizontials which I switched to every other year. Some ipe is still yearly. I have approx 30 customers that have shelled out 20 k in maintenance and I have 50 that have paid 10 k to 15 k in maintenance over the life of their deck .I have 4 that have paid way over 20 k thats because it includes the house restoration .I have 20 sets of garage doors that I do every three years which have mahogany decks which I do every other year that development is 5k a year. Most of these include maintenance from the roof down. I love maintenance.

    In the last two years I have picked up some very nice annual and every other year cleanings that don't include wood .

    My clients actually bug me about their maintenance


  5. Season's greeting Sir Roger ! Recieved a call from a client who was out in Washington state to get some work done pronto fast because they where going to be selling their house . They had just left Billy and the wife accepted a job with his foundation( like heading it up). I asked if I was being brought along to become the Gate Keeper!


  6. Scott I do a considerable amount of garage doors and they are probably the biggest pain in the sphincter . Small area many trips back in forth.. Once you get them down which takes a few times they are a nice reoccurring income source.

    Looks like old sealer remains. T-11 wasn't buffed enough but was not a smart selection of a highend door. Oil is easier to maintain and protects the wood better over time.

    Looks like the the way the weather hits the doors can be an issue . Sun and water kill garage doors mainly the bottom 1/3.
