  1. What's your opinion...

    Mike, Did they put a "Stop check" on your check? If they did then your going to have to negotiate with them. I had a case last year when I Cleaned this lady's concrete Patio around her pool. This Patio was huge and it had mold plants growing on it because it was so Dirty. The price to Clean this was $400 but she was told that some of the dirt could kick out from under the surface Machine and get into her pool. When I'm done she will need her pool to be vacuumed. When I finished she was so happy how bright the concrete looked she not only gave me a check she also gave me a $25 tip. So what happens--The Husband comes home and see's the sediment sitting at the bottom of the pool. His local pool company comes out to vacuum it and they charge him $100 instead of his typical $30 charge for this service. He puts a stop check on the check that I had and refuses to resubmit another check to me unless I pay the whole vacuum charge. The end result is we split the cost after this guy breaks my xxxxx over the phone. A month later the lady calls for me to Powerwash her house. I tell her sorry but I can't do it because of her husband irrational behavior. She was disapointed and the funny thing understanding..I sunk it to that guy good:)
  2. Hey No sweat Dan. I just bought this 350 0n ebay for $30,000. This is the only reason why I'm selling my Dodge...now my wife gets that dinning room set she always wanted which cost about the price I'm selling my Dodge for..Got to please the boss every now and then:) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280040108180&rd=1,1
  3. Hey Dan, Thats somewhat of a similiar set-up that I had with the 24ft box truck. I have a 48hp Lombardini Silver Eagle set-up that I since put in an 18ft enclosed trailer. I actually had a larger trailer that came with this set-up initially but the trailer and truck where just to big to get in and out of peoples driveways when we do Residential work. I also have a bucket truck to pull this trailer along with a 350 truck. I'm selling another 350 truck that I just had on Ebay..if your interested its item number 170046815681 The reserve was $13000 and it just missed it.. I'm going to relist it and drop the reserve maybe as low as $12000 + If your interested and since your only according to mapquest 675 miles from my house I'd be willing to sell thist truck for $11,500. This truck is loaded and the mileage is nothing for a cummins diesel. If your interested let me know..
  4. Bye Bo!!!!!

    Bo Schembechler died suddenly. He just had some pacemaker put in and I guess his time was just up. Great Coach!! One of the alltime best and the amazing thing is he never won a national championship. Fond memories of his team beating Ohio State and many other great teams in the 70's-80's..This could be an added boost for the Wolverines to beat Ohio State Tomorrow. The Best was when he coached against his mentor Woody Hayes from Ohio State back in the days.....GO WOLVERINES!!!!

    You have the chance of a lifetime staring you right into your face. Probably the finest roundtable thats ever to be assembled up to this point is going to be that one. IF you could you should try to get there so to give your business a jump start for the upcomming year. Its $30/head and its money well spent. John T. John
  6. I have a Deckster that is beat to xxxx and in the 3 years besides changing the quick connects and the hoses and also changing out those little valves that can go bad in them causing the deckster to have no pressure I have never winterized it or the hoses. None of it. Since I only pretty much use Oil base stains I really dont want to run antifreeze thru those hoses because water and oil mix causes a seperation and the last thing I want in my stain hoses is this to happen Now since I have two decksters I'm thinking that I should probably at least run antifreeze thru them and the clear hoses that I use for strippers and acids.. Storing any of this stuff in the house is not an option.. What do u guys/gals do when it comes to winterizing your decksters??
  7. Vote

    Yea my head spun off. I'm done hear.Good job on the honest thoughts. OK I'm so done here:)
  8. New business question

    Start with the search function on this site..Thats the best source of Information available at your finger tips from Contractors who have been there and done that..Can't get a better source of info then from ones who actually are out in the field doing the work. Search to your hearts content. Enjoy.

    Face it Jeff is a nice guy but in NY he would be deemed a screaming liberal just by what his messages are..The beauty of this country is that there are all types..From Extreme Conservatives all the way to the Screaming liberals. I fall into the middle with a lean towards conservatism. I agree with alot of what Ryan is saying above. Most of it makes sense to me and I've seen stuff first hand and have not just recieved my news from the media like most do.
  10. Vote

    Jeff, You nailed it about Whitewater..You know your history..Billary made in the neighborhood of a $100,000+ in an hour there because something she did was crooked. Why do you suppose that Lady(Can't remember her name) who had info on Hillary decided not to reveal it and because of that she had to sit in that jail all that time. Kind of like whats going on with Barry Bonds trainer Mr. Anderson who won't release the bad info on Bonds so he sat in Jail. Common Jeff your a smart guy and the proof is in the pudding above..That is one of the many reason I'm sure why Most Americans don't trust Hillary. Be the Happy Democrat that you are but don't be blinded by reality. Its like saying Barry Bonds didnt take steroids...That poor lady sat in jail for months because she wouldn't testify against the Clintons and the big bannana in that one was Hillary who is known to be much smarter then her husband but not nearly as good as a salesman as Bill Clinton was and is. As for the economy back in the 90's don't forget who was the brainchild behind all that..Yup Alan Greenspan who was in charge of the Federal Bank..And who put him there....Ronald Reagan!! So be a Happy Dem but please don't be blind as some of the Republicans obviously were. P/S- about 6 yrs ago Hillary came into where I work..She went to a billionaires house here that was hosting a fun raiser for the Democratic Party. These parties can cost $30,000 a head and more to get into it..its for the extreme rich. Because she came in Myself and 2 others worked this party in plain clothes off duty. I had to wear a secret service pin as instructed..To make along story short I was yip yapping with her secret service guys who go with her everywhere..I asked one of them "Would you take a bullet for her" and his response in a funny tone was "Would you"..Man did we share a good laugh:)
  11. Vote

    Parts of the country has spoken and they wanted change...The Dems now have more seats but its still very close which tells you that this country is still very divided. Hopefully the new Democrats can do a decent job even though I have my doubts about alot of them already. God Help this Country if Billary Clinton the phony New Yorker gets in the White House in 08. This country will be a sitting duck to get blasted if that crook gets in. In my state I voted mostly party line except for the biggest position which was the Governorship. I voted for Elliot Spitzer who's a democrat and knows how to get things done..This guy could be president one day as long as he can get that Monkey Billary off his back...
  12. Lab Puppies!!!!!

    Thats my story to the tee..My begging and pleading fell on deaf ears and I wasn't allowed to tell my girls about this...man I wanted to tell them...but in all honesty my wife is stll grieving over our last Lab who we put down over the summer and I have to respect her wishes..Man I really wanted one of those dogs:)
  13. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Yea but that just makes you a complainer Mike..Get out and Vote..This is what our Military Men have died for so we can vote freely...Its a luxury we have and to complain but not vote then why complain unless your are just a complainer......
  14. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Vote For Jeff on election day because we need a regular Joe who can relate to the majority of Americans who are middle class----PWNA color:) This is what this country really needs is a middle class regular Joe take the reigns from the rich REP and DEMS..but of course the problem is they have the money which in this case can buy them anything...This is the problem!!! I just decided to do is sell my Powerwashing Company and all of its equipment. I'm going to retire from my other job and then Jeff and I will travel around the country and knock on as many doors as we can and convert as many middle class people as we can to vote for us who are just like them....As we go along we will get more and more followers. Will get Millions of names to put Jeff and I on next years presidential Ballot...Jeff can be the president so I can do what I do best behind closed doors( The King Maker)....We can win...and the time is now!!! Mike Williams will be our secretary of state and Beth Borrego can be our VP. Ken Fenner can be our spokesman with banners of his restore as our flags..We can "Restore" back this country. All Fund will be sent thru the TGS for this daunting task of a political run.. Our slogan.."THE TAX PAYING MIDDLE CLASS WILL NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE AND WE ARE THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY. Oh I forgot to put Celeste in there. She can be put in charge of homeland security because she has a lawyers mind/background.. And Matt Johnson to Market the heck out of us. Tom Vogel will let us use his place to organize.. So who's with me....as I run out the door all by myself..Like John Belushi did in animal house after he gave his speach. If we can in a years time get all the middle class to unite then its going to be a landslide victory for us...The builders of this Country.... Lets do it!! I can give the first $$25 to the middle class fund drive for president.. The place to collect it would be TGS and if we can't get enough money to do that then at the very least we can have Beth make us T-shirts with the left over money going back to this site to keep it the best in the land which is once again ran by middle Class people and its tax paying followers...Yea you know the type..the same type who are over in Iraq defending this country..You dont see GW, BC, or Osama himself fighting these wars...they send us...the regular Joes...All these leaders should be fired when the middle class pres. takes over. But Jeff will have one person to kill and Thats OSAMA...he has to die..
  15. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    LOL hello fellow Lobbyist who also could use some more money..is that a page boy over there..lol VOTE REPUBLICAN TUESDAY AND EVERY DAY THEREAFTER!!!!
  16. US war combat death through time

    This is why I feel that 18-20 yr olds should have to serve this country so they can always remain patriotic and to help them grow up with a strong sense of values instead of burning our flags and saying that our own President is the worst person in the world...Oh in case anyone cares my wife disagree's with me about making it automatic that 18-20yr olds should have to serve.... My house is divided:) wait my wife is a registered republican so where not that divided:)
  17. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!!!
  18. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Navy 82-86. Recieved some medals for my service in Lebenon but did not recieve the captains medal because I went AWOL for a week. Man was my Hells Kitchen NY Captain pissed at me...wasn't the first time he was pissed at me....In the end I got a dinner and a plaque that says "atta boy" on it from my fellow comrads. That plaque is so special to me considering I went into the Navy because of my I dont care attitude towards anyone and I just want to play in my band and drive drunk with no direction known. The Navy saved me..I grew up fast in there because I had to..This is why I would make every young male and maybe even female to serve two years each so they can grow up at this wild age of 18-20. Those are the years when most young ones die in auto accidents etc. because there reckless like I was. Just wait and see what its going to cost some here who have children in that age bracket for car insurance. When I deal with fatal auto accidents alot of times it was these young I can do anything type driver who's face is broken beyond recognition...If they had the chance to grow up in 2 yrs to be alive today..well I think most would go for it.
  19. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Jeff Read This I'm not completely happy with GW but what I do like about him is that he does what he says he'll do. I also like the fact that he takes no xxxx from anyone. For a guy thats not considered to be the smartest guy around he crushed the other guy who was considered a brain at the debates years ago..and that guy's name was Al Gore. GW is pretty much a straight shooter which I admire also and out of the many stupid things he has said over the years he's not known for telling lies. Al Gore on the otherhand was known to say that he either created or helped creat the internet...I can't stand People who tell lies. I wonder who's going to go down in history as the better president.Bush or Clinton who was impeached. I'm betting that Bush will even though he won't be very high on that list. As for the Gays who Jeff I'm surprised that you have so much hatred for them. I'm not a fan of gay people but knowing a few over the years they don't bother me and I think they do deserve to get the tax breaks that married couples get as long as they dont use the word Marriage. They should just call it a Unity and leave it at that. The gays pay taxes probably more on average then we do. You'll probably find out that gay unities last alot longer then the typical Marriage does these days. Alot of very straight people make a mockery out of what Marriages are supposed to stand for. The Divorce rate is thru the roof. I remember reading that the average marriage these days last about 6 yrs..so even though we like to hold Marriage in high regard....most people don't just look at the facts. Shooting the illegal aliens who are trying to get here sure would put a stop to that but can you fault them for trying to get into the greatest country by far. I can't! Having a little Mexican in my bloodline(I'm part spain spanish,mexican,irish and sicilian) and if I was born in Mexico I would try to get me and my family here also. As the Cubans do. So to just start shooting people who are trying to escape there tyrant ran countries shows no heart. Maybe the wall might be a deterent but once again you have to make the laws tougher and have them carried out to make them effective. I think Mike Williamson is being alot more fair about his beliefs then you are because your showing alot of anger. Has life been that bad for you since GW took office. I know you may know some men/woman that died in IRAQ but remember they choosed to go there and they died as hero's and they should be given the proper respect for that and to not blame Bush for this because it makes the ones who died protecting this country as not to intillegent because they could't get Bush like the way you do.. Disagree with Bush but don't make him the Bad guy on this war on terror. Bush has said he is going after Osama and he has and still is. Bush said that where going after Saddam and he has and we caught him..Job well Done. Jeff did you ever serve this great county of ours?? I'm guessing no and after reading Mike W's and Rods story I do believe that they really wanted to serve. To me its one of the proudest things I ever did second only to marrying my Beautifull Kathy and having my two little girls Nicole and Brianna. Jeff Vote for the person that you think is the right guy/lady for the job but who ever gets in I hope if your unsatisfied by them you don't get as miserable as you are here. Life is to short for that..Quick note..Reach out to Politicians you like and go talk to them if you have the chance. My meeting Pete King last week was an honor to me but he made it like it was an honor to meet me.How down to earth is that.. Dislike Bush but try your damnest to not hate the guy. He came in at the worst time possible for any president with the 9/11 attacks..Thats going to be the tragic footnote on his histroy report card. Hey where still friends right you condo king or is that now high riser king.. Here's one more footnote for you Jeff..The PWNA tried to get the white to be cleaned for the CAA project and it was a posibility and if it did come to Fruition you would have been one of the first guys I would look to call for this because a- your a heck of a cleaner and b- to see your face when the President says..Thankyou Jeff then out come the Camara's. Well that would be priceless. Georgy boy is not that bad of a guy.
  20. P-Diddy the new James Bond?

    I wonder what scenes they where?? Oh yea now I remember..hot hot hot
  21. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Amen Bro!! I was there in Lebinon back in 83 and this is why I debate guys like Jeff above who is a hell of a nice guy but I believed misinformed by where he gets his news which is most likely from the media that is always politically connected somehow from the right or left. The Media never gets it straight and unless you see it first hand like you and I did you never really see the picture straight. I'd be willing to bet if a guy like Jeff above was in the military right now and defending this country as you are he would never bash our president the way he's doing even if he didn't agree with him. Where so spoiled here its unbelievable. This is a great country but to bash our president no matter who he is..during war time its appalling. We let our guard down...then will be decimated by sneak attacks...kind of like 9/11. Hey Jeff..its going to come down that guys like you and I will agree to disagree but we can and will still be friends... And everything changes when it comes to political Parties. 140 yrs ago the Dems where all about Slavery..And good Ole REPUBLICAN Abe Lincoln..well we all know the rest of that story. Today you could make a very strong debate that the DEMS represent minorities better the the Republicans do..
  22. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Hey Jeff we all know your a good guy but man you sound like one of the Dixie Chicks :-D You make it seem like George Bush is the enemy..Just like the Dixie chicks. Bush did all of this just to be the bad guy and Saddam well he's not that bad of a guy..George Bush is. Hey You will be so sorry if your girl Hillary becomes president..yea you know the one who says she's a Yankee fan but yet she can't name anybody on the team except for Jeter.. There's some good Dems running for positions as there are republicans. This is where I think alot of people like yourself get crossed. You say vote Dems which is fair but that is a divided attitude which this country has bigtime. Why not just say vote for the best person. But then the debate begins which states that you must vote party line to get things done..This is where this country messes up and it will stay divided untill this thinking changes. All Dems are not good and some are flat out crooks as is some republicans but for the ones who vote strictly party line then they vote in the Good, The Bad and will throw in the ugly. As for the Dixie chick line you know I'm just joking but I couldn't resist it.
  23. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    Thats a very valid point. I just have this all or nothing attitude when it comes to getting things done. I can't stand to see things done half assed thats why I brought up the draft point so we could have alot more troops where they need to be. But being a person of reason I'll retract that draft point I made but I will say this and I've felt this for years. Every 18 yr old male should be made to serve our Military for 2 yrs from the age of 18-20 or as soon as there summer ends when they get out of High School. OF course no one under 17 should be allowed to serve. This way this country as a whole stays patriotic instead of what your seeing now with this off the charts liberalism, Militia's and flag burners. This kind of crap never was around like this years ago until the Vietnam era but thats for another debate..
  24. John Kerry - Did I say that?!?!

    The only part that your missing here Jeff and its a huge part is that Saddam Hussien who hates us like no other was harboring terrorist especially the Al Qaeda terrorist. Yes I agree that Bush could have done a much better job getting Osama Bin Laden but once again your over looking the FACT that Clinton could have easily taken Osama Down on 3 seperate occasions. But since Clinton(Who was to busy playing with Monica--OK I'm just throwing a sneaky Jab here) didn't do his job and he admits to this we finally got hit which was 9/11. I don't blame Clinton for us getting hit and the same goes with Bush. The bottom line there was that Osama was smart enough to go after the Twin Towers because those buildings represent American Success and on top of that Osama had even bigger nuts to go after our Nations Capital and other surrounding buildings. For what he and his group that he founded the Al Qaeda did was a complete suicide attack by them...So with that being said we now have an obligation to track him and his group down no matter where they are...and this is where Saddam comes in..and Now Saddam is gone...No simpathy here from me about that. Personally if I was in Bush's shoes when 9/11 happened I would have incorporated the draft immiedately. This way we would have had enough troups to zap out Saddam and his evilness and also probably within the first year after 9/11 would have caught and killed Osama and decimated his Al Qaeda and If Bush would have lost the 2004 election because the draft was brought back then so be it..but a politician being a politician which Bush and Clinton are first they care more about themselves then anything else..Such is a Politician.
  25. Before I show these pictures I don't know if this is the answer or not. Our Country which is a dmocracy the common belief is that we tear down walls..but sometimes when every thing fails then drastic steps sometimes have to be taken. Peter King just last week was seen here next to the president who was signing this Bill to make the wall happen. Pete King was one of the writers of this bill. As it where just a couple of days earlier I was at a Dinner honoring my attorney and Pete King and a few other politicians where there. What a great guy. In the pictures you'll see fat me in my Blue Suit thats a million years old and the guy with the short black hair(And Benches about 400lbs) is my VP of my Union. What a fun dinner that him and I where invited to paid for by my Union. I tried to tell Pete King about the wall..J/K Who knows maybe it will work maybe it won't..I'm guessing that it won't work as good as they think it will.
