  1. Lowballer Rig spotted in Vegas.

    When it was your sandbox....when you were a MOD here, you were quite fine with bullying people and abusing your position for personal reasons. I don't always agree with Beth's decisions, like when she killed the thread that had Chris Chappell nailed to the hypocrite wall of shame....but at least her motives are positive and for the greater good.

  3. Lowballer Rig spotted in Vegas.

    I don't agree with everything Tony S does or says but do we really need forums polluted with images that have no context to frame the situation? A pic of my duct tape-rake-paint-roller-extension-pole-gizmo-device (patent pending) would certainly look silly and embarrassing with no context to frame the situation...that the store bought pole broke when we had 10 minutes of work left and we improvised and MacGyver'd our way to the finish line and on time for dinner. In the Army, they called this the "Field Expedient Method" and passed out ribbons and promotions for people that could complete their mission by foraging and improvising. I don't expect everything in the forums to be rainbows and butterflies and Tony did earn a lot of the grief he gets but this battling image war between these two guys over an event that's in everyone's rear-view mirror is silly.

    Pot.....meet kettle Your amateurish attempts at google bombing, to control the content on another board through negative SEO is laughable and only fans the flames. How would you feel if you woke up one day to find someone had made 10,000 links bashing Superior Power Washing? Chris, Please stop the passive aggressive keyword stuffing aimed at Beth.
  5. What is the most effective way to get jobs?

    Proves my point that internet years are like dog years.....poll started in 2006 and website/internet wasn't even on the list. Evolve or die

    Honestly.....who really cares. Last year I connected my son's golf cart to a trailer and moved it. One time I duct tapped a paint roller to a rake. I blew a whole downspout off the side of a house trying to clear a blockage. Glad nobody had a camera.....
  7. Done with Godaddy....

    A few years ago I tried a Godaddy hosting account.....2 hours later I asked for a refund. Their admin panel is horrible...beyond horrible. I used to use them for domains.....but a support supervisor laughed at me one day on the phone and wouldn't tell me his name....I moved all my domains. Fast forward to today....90% of all the problems we have with customers of our web design is a result of Godaddy. I can install wordpress manually in about 8 minuets, faster yet with a script installer. Migrating a WP install is about the same....5-10 minutes. This latest nightmare has me and another employee at over 4 man hours + about 1 hour on the phone with GD support.....and it's still not running. Last Feb I spent about 10 hours trying to get email for a client to work.....GD's response was it was our settings....I showed the customer the same exact settings working on dozens of sites across two different servers..... Even when they screw up, they never admit it.....I've had them tell me to "try it now" and suddenly everything is fine but when I ask what they did, the standard answer is "nothing". I'm done with Godaddy.....I won't work on a Godaddy server ever again after today. Godaddy is the Thompsons Water Seal of Hosting.....bigger doesn't equal better.
  8. Done with Godaddy....

    I'm sure there are plenty of people that have never had an issue....most of those probably don't have anywhere near the control panel mileage I log. Just the time to make a server tweak on Godaddy is double that of Cpanel. I'm in, done and out of Cpanel before I can navigate to the right Godaddy admin page. I can change a MX entry on hover.com before I can even get to the dns page on Godaddy. Godaddy will time out on any time consuming work....forcing multiple logons to finish. Hosting Admin cannot log into the database without another login....time consuming, the site owner should have access to phpmyadmin automatically.
  9. Done with Godaddy....

    You don't have a hosting account....you have a site-builder account. The difference is like having a 20hp Hydro-Tek and a 120 volt Karcher.
  10. Retiring from my moderating status here.

    You need a sabbatical bad....that would be like adding 10 moderators. Jack Daniels
  11. Pete Marentay from Sunbrite Supply is retiring.

    The forecast is looking cloudy
  12. Need wash mix advice

    I think you have a tip problem. If you can't find a 0 degree rinse tip for your machine, drill out one of the pressure tips.
  13. Need wash mix advice

    Have you clicked your sig link recently by chance?
  14. Mixing Sodium Hydroxide

    I clean my engines with hydroxide.....not that hard to get it only on the engine. I can't stand working on a oily or greasy motor.....first thing I do is warm it up, shut it off and hit it with some dawn and caustic in a pump-up.
  15. Who's having problems posting on TGS?

    I'm going with the link Chris Tucker posted.....saying it's a PHP 5.3 conflict. We did just have a server move....makes sense.
  16. Need wash mix advice

    I use a DS of Sodium Hypochlorite, Simple Cherry and a dash of Potassium hydroxide (10% liquid) Yes....I use that on all types of siding except aluminum and usually test painted siding for a reaction. Sometimes I'll hit the foundation of brick, block or stone with a stronger mix in a pump-up if the algae, moss and lichens are real heavy. Most of my calls are for vinyl....I know other areas of the country don't have as much vinyl as we do here. I decline most aluminum siding jobs unless it's a paint prep....they are usually so old that oxidation is all the color they have left. Aluminum gets dents and dings over the years and many home owners don't notice them until they inspect the cleaning and many assume were done in the cleaning. I don't get many aluminum calls.
  17. Need wash mix advice

    You are not alone...most people outside of the professional cleaning contractors aren't savvy to the tips and tricks. I'm sure most of the contractors that began from scratch as opposed to having worked for someone else also assumed that pressure was all you needed....I did. Today.....I don't clean anything without some sort of detergent blend and in some cases, I don't use pressure at all. Here is an unedited video of us cleaning the side of a 2 story house in about 10 minutes. You can see the detergent do all the work. We use rinse tips and you could stick your hand in front of the tip and not break skin. We did this demo with one machine. As you can see, it took about 10 minutes to do this side. We usually roll with 2 machines....one soaping and one rinsing and can clean a 2 story home like this in a little over an hour.
  18. Who's having problems posting on TGS?

    Works okay if you use "Go Advanced" button
  19. Censorship & Banning...............

    To give the greasers twice as much to whine about? - - - Updated - - - To give the greasers twice as much to whine about?
  20. Censorship & Banning...............

    Yes Sir
  21. Shutters Bleeding on Stucco

    I've had success with potassium hydroxide on shutter bleeding.....
  22. Censorship & Banning...............

    Troublemakers.......seems like a matter of perspective IMHO. What good would a forum be if everyone had to parrot the beliefs, opinions and ideas of the forum owner?
  23. I stopped doing wood but got pretty fast at fence. You can smash out some stockade fence with a 1-2 gpm surflow....I used canvas tarps instead of poly. The canvas absorbs the stain so not near the mess. 1 man spraying and 1 man following with a pole brush. Shadow box takes a bit longer.....you miss a lot of inside spots with the spray.
  24. I've considered that same skid.....a few years ago, DJ Carroll showed me his and I loved the range it had with the rinse tip but it was new.....never followed up with him as to how it stood up.
  25. I'm guessing "org crap" doesn't mean all things Org related....That's up for grabs as well but I take it to be in reference to all the recent opposition discussion directed to one specific Org......drop that crap. I never said or implied the vendors that are "not" speaking up were disingenuous....There are people here that cannot post directly on the other BBS and those that cannot post here. Is anyone over at the other site telling them to drop the crap? For the record....I don't really do much wood anymore but from 09-11 all I used was AC stain and still refer people that call to his site.
