Beth n Rod

But you are improving! You took bold new steps last year! Beth

Jim, Those are beautiful pics man....the nasty ones are the money shots, the after shots are the icing on the cake. Love them all. Beth

Rick, is this the thread? http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/wood-cleaning-restoration-decks-fences-etc/6083-bleach-really-bad-cleaning-cedar.html Beth

How about an enigma of a sealer.....DOH! :lol: Beth

Ok, I'll start.... Bleach breaks down the wood lignin. Bad...bad bleach..... Beth

There was the time Rod worked on crutches with his knee in a brace too.... I have been known to work with a sinus infection. I'll get an antibiotic, take it, and move on. I hate days like that. Beth

1st year I worked alone and only had the option of hiring a day laborer from a temp agency once in a while. I rescheduled when it was detrimental to my health to do otherwise. The business was young then and now I am fortunate to have crews that do the work most of the time. I had a bad incident where I burned my lungs from exposure to chlorine and was down for a week (had no choice) and since then, I changed the way I do things to avoid that again. Sorry to hear you are down with a respiratory infection. Been there, done that...too many times... My sympathies. Get well! Rod!~

Spring has not hit, but it is softer than prior years, more hesitancy, more folks watching what they spend money on. Beth

I think the saddest deck I ever saw was the one painted white, that was redwood underneath and the rail caps were rotting..... Beth

Gee, one guess how I voted! Beth

For me, it's the same thing it has always been, I don't like filing. That may sound silly, but I'm pretty balanced, do have some strengths, but filing is my downfall. When I was in software sales I was always very busy selling and felt that filing took away from my money making time, that and I hated alphabetizing and sorting papers. I did it, but it was my least favorite thing. I cleaned out a folders yesterday as a matter of fact. It was time. Beth

Got one in mind? I'm drawing a blank. Start one. Beth p.s. sorry - head a little fuzzy, fighting off cold....

Don't worry about it....I've GOT it... Beth

Did you have a written agreement with them? Take them to small claims court. Beth

Jamie, Call Tom Vogel at ACR (hydrotek dealer) or Dennis at McHenry Equip in Frederick (also hydrotek dealer) and ask them what they think. Beth

Whatever! Beth

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ....Now THAT..... was funny! Beth

What about the type of tool boxes out there? Which do you use and what do you like about it? Rod!~

Considering how things are...I think $350 is much too high for them. The benefits have no teeth. We rejoined last year, but not sure about this year. We have other things on the horizon (*****) and that we belong to already that we feel are better for our business. Best money spent was joining the BBB. If you have not done that, I suggest you do. Beth

Depressing news man...I like totally dig them cookies and now I will have to buy an extra box to make up the diff...I guess...wait a minute...that's the gimmick isn't it? Sucks to be hooked. Rod!~

Now that you mention it, the Big Mac used to look bigger to me! Beth
