Its good to have a water tank set-up somewhere on your trailer for a few reasons. For one like others are saying, if you dont have enough GPM coming out of a water spicket at a house you can draw the water from your tank and have the house water hose hooked into the tank. Also have it hooked into a float valve so the water shuts off automatically so the tank doesnt over fill and leave water all over your trailer etc. Another reason to have a nice size water tank on your trailer is in case there are places that you powerwash that DONT have any water hookups..like doing some commercial work like I do. Lastly you can have your powerwasher unloader set-up that when you aren't squeezing the trigger on the wand the unloader will go into bypass and shoot the water back into the tank so you can leave your powerwasher ideling for a long time without worrying about the pump over heating. This is a must if you have employees because they will not care like the way you do about your equipment and they will leave your powerwasher ideling for long lenghts of time and this will ruin the packings in the pump. So having a water tank has many many advantages over not having one.

Thats similiar to how my wife and I are except that My wife makes all of my calls and she did enjoy the PWNA Ohio Convention in 05. She is pressuring me to take her to the PWNA Arizona Convention in March 07 since I took one of my guys to the Memphis Convention in 06. I think my wife like going to these conventions the most because she doesnt have to watch the kids or get up early. It like a getaway vacation for her. Maybe I'll take her away again to a far away land where neither one of us have to do..squat.

Hey Jeff I'm in the process of setting up an enclosed trailer with a my11gpm Powerwasher and a few burners etc. Between working two jobs with a ton of overtime on the one job at this time, Having John and my other guy going out Powerwashing and myself when after I sleep a few winks..in between all of this I'm setting up this trailer. Its going to be the bomb when its done. I already non skidded the floor the other day. The best thing I like to do out of all of this is set-up this trailer. I would love to set up trailers for others if I had the time. Oh yea we also have a building to Powerwash on Sunday...Don't you just love this business when it gets busy:)

Ah both those teams bite..Lets Go Mets..ALL THE WAY!!!!! Ok I'm dreaming but I'm still a Met fan and enjoying a winning season for a change..Oh yea..bring back the curse of the Bambino:)

Its killing me to see my car for sale on Ebay..but I could use the garage space and the fast days of me driving and always getting away with it(Shhhh) are over. I always wanted a Grand National when they first came out and if I ever make the real big bucks I may look to by the Buick grand national GNX but in good shape your talking $50,000+ for a car like that...who knows

LOL.Nope this car is the real deal. I had a blow out in one of the tires awhile back when I was doing a buck 20 on the parkway. Its not fun at that rate of speed for something like that to happen. Those days have to end for me. My kids should never have to see me in a body bag... Now if I can ever make the big bucks I may look to get one of those Orange County choppers with those real big fat rear tires...I wonder how fast they can go..hmmmmmm

I don't know what the Bible says about who's good or not since I'm not to religious I can't refer to it at all. From My own experiences in life and in Law Enforcement I would say that most people are good by a wide margin. I would say over 90% of the people all around the world are good people. THe problem with todays societies thats never really happen in the past is that now we can most likely destroy this planet completely where no life can inhibit here. There are numerous weapons of mass destruction held by many different countries where some we know about and some we don't. Along with that there is chemical warfare that can be the end all of end alls. This is where in MHO is the difference from today to yesteryear. And unfortunetly if the world was to come to a screaching halt the two main reasons will be because of Religion........and Greed. To Lethal Combo's by anyone standards.

This was the fastest production made car back in the eighties. I love this car then but I just couldn't afford it back in the day. Back then for a few less bucks I had an 86 mustang gt Convertable with the 5.0 liter engine. Fast car but nothing like this buick. I paid $9000 for this Buick and I would like to get somewhere near the same for it.

Tom, Since your from NY You could call Vinnie from Industrial equipment and tell him I sent you. He's located out of LI NY. He has a nice place where he sells equipment. I had a roundtable meeting there a couple of years ago. His phone number should be on his website www.indequipment.com Good Luck

Yes as a Military person you are bound to obey the orders of your commander. You may not always agree with what those orders are but you do your job which is to obey those orders. Plain and simple and if you don't follow that thought pattern then you alone can be a danger to your fellow troops that are defending this country. As for me thinking that our president didn't do a very good job its just my opinion that is shared by millions. Yes I support my president as I have supported all before him because once there in whether I voted for them or not I do my part to support the UNITED STATES LEADER. Now Don as for Unions there is alot that your not understanding. Your line "Unions have ALWAYS been subserviant to ownership" is false if I'm understanding you correctly. Ownership almost never ever wants a Union to infiltrate there business because now they can no longer do as they wish which most of the times is somewhere down the line to be UNFAIR to some of there employees. Just look up the history of most any Company in this country and you will see what I'm talking about.. I won't say that Unions are perfect which we know that is so far from the truth. What I will say is that its a damn shame when I hear that someone has put there heart and sole into a company and because they make a decent wage for there efforts they are laid off because the said company wants to hire cheap labor to replace them. Don't kid yourself and think that this doesn't happen because it happens all the time...but not in my job which is unionized and yes I still serve as its president.. You must be reading something somewhere or watching the boob tube(TV) and getting alot of your info. Me being on the front row and talking from experience I can tell you that Unions are needed in alot of jobs...but not all. You ever wonder why companies dont' want Unions...because it takes away some of there power and with out Unions some of these companies would have absolute power and everyone Knows that eventually absolute power corrupts...Now do I want a Union in my company..hell NO!! Because I'm a business owner and I would be a moron to say otherwise but for the common man/woman they need it most of the time because without the rich and powerfull will crush them at will..like some of our Mom and Dads. These are called checks and balances and the beauty of this country is we have this. Other countries don't and some of these ruthless business owners will jsut cut your head off and throw you in the trash.. Be happy to be in AMERICA!!!!!!!

Hey Rod I hope you heal at Godspeed(And i'm not even religious I just like the term:) ) Your answer is in you post. You and I are about the same age and its getting to the point that we must start delegating more and more. I still do a chunk of the work but everyday my body hurts just a little bit more. So far my left knee has been hurting for only about...6 months. I use to think that I could do this business untill I'm in my 60's..Now I'm slowly starting to realize that the only way this could be done is that I stop doing the physical work ASAP. I give myself another year at best for me to do alot of the physical work then its Delegate,Delegate,fire,fire,fire,delegate delegate etc etc.

Such is the way of life. Unfortunetly not enough people care and alot of these type people are the first ones to forget something as drastic as 9-11. If anyone here watches the show "Rescue Me" there was a great part in there last week when The main Character yells out in the bar to anyone that will listen stating that he bets not one person in there can name one fallen firefighter who died that day when the BDLG's came crashing down..Yup you got it not one person could........

Don L., I don't even know where to start with you about all these points that you brought up. I'll say this so you know I'm not just shooting from the hip with nothing to back it up. I served honorably for this country for 4 yrs in the Navy. I was in Haifa Isreal probably the most out of all the ports I visited. I was also in Beirut right after the Marines where killed in the baracks. Being on an anmphibious ship my job was to bring in new Marines to take the places of our fallen Hero's. If you ever saw the Movie "Saving Private Ryan" I was a Boat Coxain that drove those Mic 6 boats that had the marines in them. This was my job in the Navy and if it happened to be as drastic as it was during D-day in WWII I would have done my job for this country no questions asked because this is what I was asked to do. If it meant dying for my kids/family/friends and fellow Americans so they can have the great quality of life that I had then I would die honorably by serving my great country. The point that you don't seem to understand is this..you can disagree a 100% with your president because its your right but dont ever ever slander our troops or tell people a propaganda lie that if you dont support the president then you are not supporting the troops. Thats a completely false statement and when you imply that my first impression is that you never served this country and your clueless about this issue. Another thing I voted for Bush Twice and his Father before that and truethfully this Bush has not done a very good job..I think most would agree with me here and I'm talking republicans, Democrats,Independents.etc. George W. Bush will not by any stretch of the imagination go down as one of our Great Presidents. As for Unions once again I'm involved there and yes I do agree that in some cases Unions are hurtful to some Jobs...but..don't ever forget this..if Unions where to ever become obsolete where they no longer exist then you will see hard working people get canned because the've been with companies for years and worked there way up the payscale..only to be replaced by that young brat of a kid who could ever care less that he took there job for a tength of a salary. So Unions are needed and they are here to stay..........Not all Jobs need Unions but alot of them do.. K I lost track what all the other questions where.....

There are to many Powerwashing forums out there. I feel that there at most 5-6 really good ones and the other ones are just OK. The one I think is at the top of the list is this one TGS. The administrator here is about as good as anyone I ever seen in the last 8+ years. Total Dedication....by Beth:)

Matt, Look in the Wrapi section here on this BB. I also asked that same question there. As a matter of fact I'm in a discussion right now with Russ from Wrapi to see how his org. is doing. They seemed to be moving right along. I try to stay in touch with alot of different org.s just so I can stay abreast on this industry as a whole.

My opinion is that we set out to do a job and we must complete it the way we planned it. If the plan was to take out Saddam Hussien and let the Iraq's now run the country then we should get there asap so our troops can come back to the greatest place on Earth which is the Great USA. If where going to **** off over there like we did some in the Vietnam error then this country will stay divided as it was back then and no one will be happy, First and Foremost everyone hear and everywhere else in this country should be 100% behind our troops because they are just doing there job and they are the ones who make this country great..because they do there jobs!! As for the Leaders in our Country some of them are complete morons and its in your power thanks to all of our great troops in the history of this country to go out and VOTE to make a difference. Vote some of these Draft Dodging Morons out of office. Some Senators come to mind here. As for the last two Presidents neither one of them don't have a clue what its like to defend this country while being in the heart of the battle. These two guys should be ashamed of themselves to ever try to send our men and ladies off to die when they sit behind a nice cushion Leather chair in the Great Oval Office. What this Country needs and most likely will never see is a Regular **** or Jane who has put in the sweat and tears to make this country great be picked to be a leader of the free world which starts right here in this Great Country of ours. Where is the Walenza guy type that was a union Leader that represented his fellow workers and who become the leader of his country(Poland). This is the type leader we need here..but unfortunetly we most likely will never see this type leader at the very top because of $$$$.. Money alone fuels this country and if this country where to ever go belly up to to its massive overspending then this could be the end of our great run..along with all the terrorist problems that could explode at anytime..This country needs to get a grip and get it fast.

OK my above didn't copy right from another site/ Basically its saying that even posting pictures especially of children can come back to haunt you. I'm not trying to scare anyone and I know where all proud of our babies but just be aware of the potential danger in posting a child....The sicko's network worldwide and are a very large group.

Micheal your so right about what your saying..its a damn shame but there are plenty of sicko's out there and if they want they can check the IP address and look for the kids that are posted from that address. Its a sick sick world out there and people should be aware of the dangers. Still the odds are slim to none that anyone will look to accost one of these kids posted here or anywhere but just be aware like you say that it could be done. Think Before Posting Your Info Online Details Put On Sites Such As 'Facebook' Could Come Back To Haunt You (Page 1 of 3) May 10, 2006 var storeInfo = new Array (1); var x = 1; storeInfo[1] = '(CBS/The Early Show) '; function movePrev(){ x-=1; if (x == 0){ x = 1; document.getElementById("pictures").innerHTML = storeInfo[x]; document.getElementById("numbers").innerHTML = listNumbers(); } else {document.getElementById("pictures").innerHTML = storeInfo[x]; document.getElementById("numbers").innerHTML = listNumbers(); } } //end of movePrev function moveNext(){ x+=1; if (x == 1 + 1){ x = 1; document.getElementById("pictures").innerHTML = storeInfo[x]; document.getElementById("numbers").innerHTML = listNumbers(); } else {document.getElementById("pictures").innerHTML = storeInfo[x]; document.getElementById("numbers").innerHTML = listNumbers(); } } //end of moveNext function listNumbers(){ var numberImg = ''; for(i=1;i

I also do my family free of charge thats the least I could do for them especially my parents. As for Friends I'll give them a nice discount but they will have to wait untill I can squeeze them in. If there demanding about getting it done by a certain date then they get charged the same as my customers do..This is there choice.

Jason, No you don't need to join the *****,PWNA or any other org. to be successful. Any org. that you do join you would need to put in the effort to get out the max benefits that these org's offer. Knowing the Hindeliters like the way I do I would say there org. is a good one. I may join them myself one day. Today I'm very happy being a PWNA member but being a member of more then one org. can't hurt any business. As for the PWNA I'm not going to try to sell them to you by garanteeing that if you don't like them I will pay you back your membership fee. Thats a real generous offer that Matt Bryan has offered you but once again I can only tell you that if you don't put in any effort with an org. then joining any of them will be not worth it and Matt will be refunding your $$$. THis is the best that I can offer you about org's. Good Luck.

Wishfull thinking because for around $60 these illegal imigrants are getting illegal social security cards along with the green cards made by AMERICANS. Believe me I know this to be true. This problem is alot bigger then saying to throw these guys back over to where they came from.Face it most won't admit to hiring these guys but the ones who do are kicking our ****** because these illegals work so much harder then the typical American white kid. Its kind of like buying an American made auto over a foreign made one and today the foreign made cars are crushing the American ones because 1-There cheaper and 2- there built better to work harder..Sound familiar. I think the answer to this huge problem is to change the laws and change then asap so these illegals can have a better oppurtunity to become legal. Unfortunetely if you don't higher some of these guys now yes your conscious will be clear but your business will be hurting a little more then the guy who hires these type people.. Lastly I'm not saying to go out and breack the law I'm just saying that the successfull contracting businesses here are loaded with illegal immigrants and yes they all have a social security number but the majority of those number are false.

I agree. Some Americans are as bad if not worse then some of these illegals. Kenneth Lay from Enron who cost over 80,000 people there 401k savings and there jobs comes to mind. He got what he deserved..Buried 6 ft under.

For those who have wood trailer floors did you spray something on it like LineX to protect the flooring from water and chemical spills?? I should have my trailer here this week and I can decide on what to do with the floor.

The guy that works for me picked it up since he was going to Ohio anyway. This worked out good for me and him. He used my truck, I paid for all the gas, Hotel room for two nights, all meals for him and $200 for his efforts. Since he is paying in the neighborhood of $2.85 per gallon outside of NY(Figures) and my truck is averaging about 19mpg and the total mileage is about 1800 miles the gas bill will be around $270 total. I feel like I'm saving money already. When John gets back tomorrow (thurs.) He is scheduled to work all day Friday,Sat,Sun,Mon. and possibly Tuesday. Money spent,Money back,Money spent,Money back..it just comes...and goes..

This the trailer that I just paid $4100 for it... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=270010564901&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT Can't wait to set it up..man I wish some days can be longer then 24 hrs.I need more time........
