    Well.... It was a huge success. I want to take a quick note to thank everyone who helped with this project.

    Thanks to Henry Bockman - King of Marketing - Germantown, Maryland. What can I say... I couldn't and wouldn't have done this without your enthusiasm, experience and belief that this was possible. Again thanks for all of your support and assistance with the project.

    To Tom Vogel of ACR Products.. your contribution of technical service, expertise kept our machines and equipment running flawlessly. Thanks for providing the extra pressure washing hose and turbo nozzles... who would have thought we would have had 1/3 mile of pressure washing hose out. Having an onsite technician and distributor with a full parts inventory was perfect.

    John Tornabene. Long Island, King of the $21.00 lunch: Your lift truck, faithful assistant and experience was invaluable. Thanks to both of you. Look forward to our next joint venture.

    Cujo Cooley - Covington, Ga with Pams Pressure Clean- you southern boys can sure clean a lot of property in a short amount of time. It was a real pleasure having you up... I hope to see you again soon... Thanks for the help!

    Jack Kramer, A brilliant Solution, New Jersey.. Thanks a million to both you and your son... You had one of the toughest areas... And it looks excellent. It's "brilliant".

    Mike Brown, All Brite Pressure Washing Service, Rome New York... Thanks to both you and your son for helping out. The first base line look's great. Wow!

    Cleveland, OH - Bob Williamson with Pressure Tek, Ohio. Bob, thanks a million for your generous donation and support. I will be in touch soon. Again thanks for your support and making this a huge success.

    Pete Marentay with Sun Brite Supply, Lawrenceville, GA, Pete, you support and input was great. Thanks for the chemical offer and sharing your knowledge both with the execution of the project and with the assistance with the PR and media.

    Jim Palmer with Hydro Tek Systems, Redlands, CA. I truely appreciate your donation of 2 surface cleaners for the project. Without them, we would still be cleaning the concrete there. It was great to see you show up at the project. Thanks for your offer of future support.

    Very rough statistics:

    We had a staff of about 16 people

    8 Machines running, 9 Pressurized lines

    Had just about 1800-1900 feet of pressure hose in use

    2 Staff just using power blowers to remove and dispose of large debris.

    Water, thousands of gallons of water - 5 inch hydrant line split to 2 inch and a half lines. 2 inch feed line inside the park.

    Arrived at 6 AM departed at 6:40 PM

    2 TV stations / 2, ?3 Newspaper

    WOW... More to Come

    Will Do Soon... Sorry, I meant to share photos and details soon.... We have been extremely busy after the project due to the PR and News coverage. Myself and the PWNA were on the 6 PM news on two of the major TV Stations in my area.. The pre project publicity and the post project coverage have increased my call and work volume three fold.

    I have had overspray on vehicles from washing a house. If I think it is going to happen, I speak with the neighbors ahead of time and let them know I will rinse thier vehicles off immediately if it happens. If they aren't home, I rinse them immediately. I actually had a person pull in as I was rinsing off thier car... I told them what happened and that I wanted to prevent water spotting or any damage to thier property - They were reallly OK with it and glad I protected thier property and that they got a free car wash.

    Same goes for buildings.... A quick rinse when needed,

    I think that even if you are treating them as a subcontractor and they get hurt on your equipment, you will get sued...

    Check with the IRS... There are specific requirements for a person to qualify as a sub-contractor; one of them is that they have thier own equipment.

    If they spash your sodium hydroxide in thier eyes, you are on the hook for it,,,

    I have had someone ask me to work for labor for learning... I sent it to my attorney and he listed about 9 different ways I could get sued...

    If they get hurt on your clients property.... your client can get sued as well.

    If they knock out a window or peel paint... Who's insurance pays for it? The company under contract or the sub-contractor working for free?

    Beth and Rod have thier bases covered with puttng them on the payroll.
