Chappy replied to Beth n Rod's topic in Business Topics & Tips
You mean like the scientific data that 'proves' global warming? The scientists that have data showing opposite data are marginalized and ignored- but we have a 'consensus' on global warming. Good stewardship of the land is our Biblical responsibility. But this Green stuff is agenda driven. And the agenda is going to lead to more taxes, higher costs and bankrupcies for many. -

Since it's Earth Day...what is your company doing to "go green" this year?
Chappy replied to Beth n Rod's topic in Business Topics & Tips
I drove around and wasted some $4.15/gallon diesel. I'm sorry but I'm sick of earth day. I'm sick of the rediculous promotions that go with it. Granted we need to conserve and clean up our waters, but the U.S. (us) have made major strides in cleaning up the environment and continue to make strides. Something the rest of the world can not even hope to match. This "green" bandwagon that everyone is jumping on is causing this country to make Fuel of Food. People around the world are going to starve to Death- Thats STARVE TO DEATH because of this 'Green' garbage! And I for one am sick of it. -

Chappy replied to Beth n Rod's topic in Business Topics & Tips
i am better off in all ways. 5 years ago I was bouncing around sales jobs after many years in management, trying to find myself. I realized the reason I sucked in management was I needed to be the owner. I sucked in sales cause I could sell myself better than selling a product. I make more money, work less, am less stressed,(except in areas involving my 2 teenage boys,) I am starting to really slow down and the slow times bother me more than they used to because of the higher prices Im seeing and the uncertainty of the economy. But, I believe wholeheartedly in this country and its ability to surpass problems. THe future is bright and my kids will be better off. (provided I don't kill them first.) -

Why do homeowners constantly how long a job will take?
Chappy replied to plainpainter's question in Residential Pressure Washing
A guy told me once after getting a $4000 deck estimate (for a mess of a deck) that My materials should cost about $300, the wood another 200 and would take me only about 8 hours to complete the entire job. He said his lawyer doesnt get that much. My reply: 'I used to be a lawyer until I realized how lucrative this business is." I aggree with the above statements. Most people arent trying to find how much you charging per hour, just to see how long the inconvience is going to be. -

teak furniture
Chappy replied to Chappy's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
no! Just kidding. I used the osborne brush to sand and som 60 grit paper for minor spots. 1st coat was brushed on the wiped completely dry. She wasnt happy with the way it looked pluss there were some spots completly bare, (I think her husband sanded a couple spots 'cause my pics after I was done the first coat showed no missed spots.) Any way I did 3 more coats several days later. An hour or two between coats and just wiped it in with a rag, just like wiping a stain on interior furniture. -

teak furniture
Chappy replied to Chappy's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
personal home. on several acres on a lake. Next door to that Ipe dock I did last year. Its funny when you talk to "the richest 1 percent" how decent, down to earth they are and most are self made. But we should make them pay their fair share, doggonnit! -
teak furniture
Chappy replied to Chappy's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
this table was made of rough hewn Balinese Teak and had an unknown sealer on it. It had to be stripped with paint stripper, sanded to remove really rough spots and furrs and then WTW applied. I did several coats, rubbed in each coat to give it the shiny appearance. the last pic was just at a different light level and its not really that dark. The second pic is best -

Sick son of a >>> But let me add a little bit of what I believe. We have spent 30 years in this country telling young people its OK to kill babies, even if it means partially delivering them and sticking a pair of scissors in the skull and sucking out the brains, and then calling it reproductive rights so its OK to do. And then we wonder why someone like this sick sob would do this? Any wonder why we have a disregard for life in this country?

My entry for worst deck ever
Chappy posted a question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
This is one nasty deck. I strenuously advised to have the deck re-build, especially around the pool, and re-skinned on the elevated portion. I cant even replace some of the rotted boards because of frame rot. Check out the trim around the pool! Its at the water line. I asked the cust. if he just purchased the house. No, he just hasnt gotten to it. I told him I wouldnt let my kids out there, and especially company. Im gonna clean it next week and he said he'll replace it next year. -
2008 Sealer Poll
Chappy replied to Beth n Rod's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Wow, I havnt seen the price increase yet. Makes me wish i had ordered a bunch at the end of the year! I'll stick with WT because of ease of use and tintability. I like not having a bunch of different colors around just waiting for the next guy who I talk into Warm Honey Gold anyway. Im selling Sikkens but havnt had any bites as I price it almost double. The only way I'll use Flood is when the deck has the spa n deck on it already and customer doesnt want to pay extra to strip it and put a decent product on it. I cant believe the way the wood looks after a couple years of not keeping it maintained, which is the typical customer of course. I think the acrylic actually promotes rot, splintering, cracking and all the other problems you see on a never finished deck. -
i bet they didnt even know the flagstone was colored like that
