just for insight 2 million with 2 per occurence runs me about 2500 a year. I was paying about 1200 a year originally when I started for similar coverage to what your looking about

It can be somewhat a hurdle to overcome however its not impossible. I am 25 and it seems as I get the snub sometimes. Just present yourself well over the phone and email if you communicate with them before face-to-face meetings and you will do much better and they will be impressed

If I remember correctly, it deemed you a POOP HEAD

Just spend the little bit of extra money on it and you will make up the difference spent when driving somewhere else to get something and make it work.

I think Chris C from texas is going to be coming alone now so he may be up for sharing some of the expenses with somebody

It will take full disclosure of all lies that have been told before I ever renew my membership. I am not going looking to stir the pot at all however if it took 6 months to come out that GH was not paid, there are surely more lies and deceits left to be cleared up.

Nice program Paul, I requested info via the site

get some bleach and in about 5 gallons of water add one gallon of bleach to it and then run that through the machine it will surely fix that if the algae is the problem. I don't see that being an issue however if so the previous will definatly fix it. Also I would recommend running the pump for a while after wards to ensure you got all the bleach out of the pump head because it is corrosive.

Looking forward to the convention upcoming this year. Take a look around at the number of multi-million dollar contractors in the organization and you will also see why networking with them is a great idea

I will be at nola and PWNA convention for sure other than that its up in the air

the o-ring could possibly be damaged or deteriorated.

Home depot has a sale on Black Spray Paint .99C per can, I was feeling so lucky to see the sale I got 2 cans before I checked out

Sounds fun

no problems here with 300ft of hose with a Hi-Draw either. we run 300ft on the reels and moving from 2wire to 1wire as they bust

We use a mix of reel brands but the common denomonator in them is at least a 1/2 inch manifold meaning. Out of trial and error I use the while pool hose 1' inside diameter and take a fitting that goes from 1/2 inch mpt to 3/4 fpt and place these on the swivel and reel outlet. Then from there Watts makes a 1' barb that has 3/4 threads and we thread them into there. Parker also sells a brass version of this if needed. From there we have a 1' bulkhead of two depending on the trailer setup at the top of the tank connected with the white pool hose. Works well and keeps up with 8gpm machines off of one hose on most supplies around here. The rule of thumb especially if running 8gpm or more off of one trailer is to have as little restriction as possible from the tank to the faucet. Therefore running 3/4 manifold reels or 1' if you really want to spend the cash

Its too Fatigueing to handle that 3,000000 degree hose

I see the following :D

We will be building another rig in the next couple of months now as well, it will house 2 or 3 hot water units, reclaim unit, and other various goodies

were moving to r1 hose this year from r2. Had a little chat about it and since have given one rig a shot with r1. We run 300 ft of hose generally in a single section with an extra on the truck. This year were going to have 2 150 sections of hose on the reels and have several spares on hand as well. Time spent changing over 300ft of hose and recoiling it is time wasted if it blew as with 150ft the time is cut into half

I am in there now, it took her a little while to get me in the database

ditch the EGR, o wait, you run a ford

we had a family friend try to kill his self using antifreeze earlier this year. Not sure how he is doing at this point of even if he made it out alive but he did drink a gallon of it and was in the hospital for at least a month the last I herd about it.

It took me about 12k at startup but that was to do car lots. Tough business and only grossed about 40k off of it last year. Next week we will crack the 200k mark for this fiscal year. One thing I will make a huge point to make sure new guys think about it. I agree totally with PICK 1 OR 2 AREAS OF THE BUSINESS AND SPECIALIZE IN IT, meaning don't do vent hoods and wash houses. Stick to items that will make your service harder to use two different guys. If you want to go the restaurant route, do hoods and flatwork. Or strictly residential and market it very well. I chose building washes and flatwork. No residential what-so-ever. I am not such a big believer at this point in advertising. I have a dominate site in the state and was fairly cheap and I am still dwelling on the yellow pages this year but making it really clear NO RESIDENTIAL SERVICES OFFERED UNLESS HOA. That doesn't mean that advertising would not help grow my business but I am not so sure I would land many restaurants by TV & Radio advertising. I will start a mailing campaign as well as leaving fliers all over these restaurants. The last point I would like to make is that the extreme growth came from hard work and lots of great individuals that were willing to share their knowledge with others. I am extremely thankful for the guys that have spoken with me in the past and shared their experiences and knowledge with me. Thank You to all the BBS'
