  1. I have a concrete/landscaping company who wants to possibly sub a condo complex job to me its 20+ buildings, his son has done it the past couple years and is no longer in the PW biz. Ive never done sub work for anyone before. The company is a local company and Ive seen him around, but thats all I know of him. What precautions should I take with a company/person I know little about, how should i write up a proposal/contract to insure I get paid & paid within a timely manner Thanks for any help on this, unless its an PM or HOA, I'm not very trusting and i want to make sure I dont get burnt JL
  2. Oh poop

    Alright I dont know if its poop. Check this call out. I got a call on my voice mail at 7PM from a local hotel owner that was refered by a PM I work for. The message was, that she has 94 toilets that have stains in them that they cant get the stains out and she wants me to pressure wash them. Pressure wash them ?????? Alright I know Im not going to pressure wash toilets , but what is used to get stains out of toilets. I'll look at this job just for the heck of it and maybe do something but what? Pressure wash toilets thats a 1st for me:dunno:
  3. My 8GPM I always am having to replace the pressure switch and the thermostat has been replaced 3 times in a year. The pressure swith Bob of PT has found me a larger one, alot more $$$ , but Its suppose to handle up to 14gpm and has directions on how to set it for any gpm between. These pressure switches werent designed for the 8gpm machine. They are going down all the time and I dont run hot water a lot Now I'm looking for a BETTER heavier duty thermostat set up switch and all. Dont really know what to look for ANY HELP. I need something more reliable made for a bigger machine 8gpm I've talked to Dennis at Pressure Pro and he is a great guy and knowledgeable and I'm having my local guy look at the wiring to see if theres a problem so he and dennis can try to figure iof its the switches or wiring, but I'd still like to get better thermostat. Thank you Jeff
  4. Concrete Acid/Staining

    Celeste or others On the house I'm building I was wondering about concrete staining/acid I forget what its called. What Im thinking is doing the concrete slad in the kitchen & attached small area just outside of the kitchen. Do you do the slab or do you have to put another coat of cement. Any info on this I'd like to do something different and exciting. Maybe????? Thanks Jeff

    God Bless her Marko. I am glad you were there, if you werent you would always feel bad that you weren't. I held my mothers hand and kissed on her on and off for hours right up to her last breathe. She knew my brother and I were there and a few times she forced out the words " I love you". It was horrible to lose such a wonderful women, but I sure am glad we were there for her. Your Grandmother in law, loves you for being there for her.

  9. I'm running for UAMCC President!!! Ask Questions here

    Good conversation. I like that Beth and other will watch close. No one is perfect and when your on the inside, sometimes all looks rosey and until someone from outside says something that you finally realize it isnt rosey or the right move. I have seen it in life so many times. I saw it when I was on the Trans Team. There was at least a few times, the Team talked over stuff on several conference calls and it all seemed right, seemed perfect, seemed like a no brainer, seemed like most wouuld support it and then you take it public and get bashed. Quite often the bashing or suggestions were right too. You can get in a vacuum and the outside world is what will save you from one way thinking and help you move forward in a better or correct fashion the Beths, The Celestes, The Tonys, the members are all needed. I wanted to Run for president, but I just didnt think I could raise the money to beat Barak Obama,
  10. So am I going through that Mid Life thing ....

    Ditto!!!! Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE
  11. Hey Just got the email for Jack Kramer & Matts 2012 seminar. I had a great time the last one, really done well, more to come on this event. They are giving a nice Hot Water skid away too Grandprize See ya all there
  12. Who's going NY RT. I'm winning the skid

    Guy, you like good RT's, you really should go to this one. Matt and team put a lot into it
  13. Way to go Paul Newman!!!!! That is awesome My wife thinks Rick looks like Paul Newman
  14. Anyone busy?

    Anyone else real busy this Nov & Dec. I know the northern guys have been slower with the cold, but still know some that are washing here & there. But we are slammed, best Nov ever and Dec is filling up nice, good way to end out the year. How's everyone else doing? With all my millions of dollars me and the wife are heading out today to do Christmas shopping, X Box, Dolls and the list goes on for the kids
  15. Who's going NY RT. I'm winning the skid

    Everyone always asks if Lisa is going, no one ever cares about me. LOL Yes she's going to go
  16. Who's going NY RT. I'm winning the skid

    LOL, you're a very sick person
  17. Anyone busy?

    Thats great you are working & busy in Nov, figured it would be to cold I'll get you a How To Pressure Wash book LOL. Happy Holidays to you
  18. way to go Rick, you get bored you can come down here and stain my kids swing set. I hate wood. If you don't come, I'll just get Christian to do it again like the past 3 years. Did I mention I hate wood Myself, I could use a little slow time. But not to much or I'll be whining about that. Its weird I find it hard to relax, when its busy or slow. Oh well, what will 2012 bring
  19. Tony everyone needs others to help Don't let the PWNA be the only voice, they have many helping them, Ron and a couple guys shouldnt have to do it alone. Tony do it for the children....your children who are in the business, your children that you take care of with your business all our children. I still cannot believe in the 11th hours you are just saying the heck with it
  20. This is exactly why you should run for the ***** BOD. Only another org can try to correct & stop what the PWNA is creating. Give it a thought Tony, not a minute or two but long hard thought. Do you really want only the PWNA talking?
  21. Hey Jim, not trying to a PITA at all, just a question. I know some of your methods and ideas how concrete should be washed and contained with CWA & EPA, are you going to push for your standards or similar standards on the PWNA either for the western part of the USA or entire country? Hope all is well for you and your family
  22. I'm having a few local guys over for July 4th, throw some horse shoes, steak tip, burgers, drink some beer, light some fireworks. Going to have a PWing rig there just in case we torch one of the lots with a bunch of trees. We can all call it a RT and write it off, heck there will be a rig there
  23. Can't wait for more info. Hey Contractors, this is one you dont want to miss Jack & Matt put a lot into making a great event, learning & networking experience. I met a bunch of contractors that I have never met or heard of before that were a wealth of info. I met the Northeast condo King, guy did tons of multi unit properties and that was only about a 1/3 of his biz Ya and there's a great local bar night spot right down the street that was a ton of fun. I'm horrible with names but a couple contractors, me, my wife and Don Phelps hung there one night and had a blast. Karaoke, shots and chicken wings all night long until about 3am.
