    Colts fall down and say bye bye!:lgwave:

    This is Lance and his post of revenge, I know it made him feel better after his Jags fell to the Colts and then got stomped by........wait a minute, did they even make the playoffs I don't remember now? LOL all in fun Lance, good luck next season.

    GO BEARS if not

    GO BRONCOS, don't really care.

    GO STEELERS!!!

    I said all year that the Colts where overated..11-5 team at best..Actually the game should not have been nearly as close as it was..........................

    Actually they were 14-2 sorry but that's the facts. Your right it shouldn't have been that close, Steelers should consider themselves lucky. If Vanderjagt hadn't choked you'd be singing a different tune right now. Good game none the less.

    Super bowl dreams down the pooper for the Colts. Steelers completely out played, and out coached the Colts. What a game!

    I agree with your opinion, the Colts were rusty and Peyton has never played good under the pressure of the blitz, funny to see Steelers almost blow it, they won't make it to the big dance either. I can't wait to see Cowher spitting all over the field when they do lose.

    How about those Pats. It's hard to believe they walked all over the Jags like they did only to get dominated by the Broncos.

    Very inspiring Lance and very similiar to where I'm at. I'm going to spend about 3-5 hundred this spring on about 1000 postcards. Last year (first year in biz) I spent maybe 200 bucks on some door hangers and some homemade flyers to which I targeted about 3 hundred people, I didn't get much response I got a few estimates and a couple jobs out of it. I'm not pinching pennies for dimes this year, I'm going big time!!

    Hey Mike read thru this thread it's good and also has some good close ups of a homemade pvc wand.

    I'm using a marine battery for the sprayer I'm going to build, I figure if it can run my 42 pound thrust trolling motor for six hours on the lake it should do the job, besides I already have two of them. Walmart sells them for about fifty dollars depending on the size.

    Bring on those Steelers. We beat them in a Monday night game that I was at which started this whole thread. The Bengals lost some key players during that game and just lost momentum, the Steelers aren't that tough. I can't stand that Polamaluuualuaau and his long hair...booo

    GO COLTS

    Setting up a trailer is in the near future for me. The last few jobs I did the pickup was pretty full. I was wondering why so many of you go with an open trailer as opposed to a closed trailer. Wouldn't it be worth a few extra bucks to have your equipment covered and locked up? I do like the grill cover idea though if I did go with an open trailer.

    I had a client call me whose house I washed back in Oct. It's a big 1 story brick ranch. He called to tell me his house got egged with about a dozen eggs and wants to know if I could get it off. I don't know what type of brick it is but I was able to put quite a bit of pressure to it without damage the first time I washed it. What chem do you recommend I use to get the egg off? Regular house wash? Also I imagine hot water would help but I only have cold right now. The egg has been there a few weeks in freezing temps. If I have to just use pressure and a scrub brush I will, this client has been my biggest customer to date so I want to keep him happy. It's suppose to be in the 50's here on Monday so please give me some advise on what chem to use, thank you.

    I showed up to do my very first deck and got suckered into helping rip out a few bushes around the deck, raking leaves and repairing the steps before I could get started. It cut into my profit alittle because it took a couple hours but what was I gonna say, it was my first job. I'm more careful now to explain to people what needs to be done before I show up, and even if it is for extra money I try not to deviate from PWing.

    I have an '01 Dodge 1500 4x4 with 132,000 miles. I had to replace the tranny at 100,000, other than that it's been good to me. I went with Dodge because I liked the look of them, and the last three Ford's I've owned have lost trannies. The last one was my wifes Windstar minivan with 50,000. I wish someone would build a reliable transmission. I thought about getting a Toyota Tundra until I heard of their crappy fuel mileage.

    We got Little Ceasers pizza tonite for the kids. The pizzas are called hot and ready, they are large one topping pizzas ready on request for $5 and they SUCK. This is the 'lowball' pizza choice, if we wanted more quality we could pay more and go to Pizza Hut. My point is there are lowballers in almost every industry type in the country, some have no clue what there're doing others think they can only get business by undercutting everyone else. All I know is history says the 'quality' companies stay in business longer than the one's lowballing. Pick your side of the fence and go with it.

    I was just curious what the average age of starting up a PWing biz was. I started last year, I was 33. Part of me wishes I started when I was in my twenties and could go all day on 4 hours sleep, come home drink a 12er slap the old lady on the ass and do it all again tomarrow. But then again I didn't have the wisdom I do now.

    Congratulations Jeff, that's awesome. I have 2 boys 13 and 12 then we had a girl who is now 7. I was scared to death when we found out it was a girl and now......well I'm still scared to death. Good luck.

    All I can say is, OUCH!!............but, at least we've kept them to closer than anyone else the've played this season. 7 points first time, 8 points second time. Maybe we'll finally beat em when we see them in the AFC championship.

    Good game, Lance.
