i am sorry i dont understand,this sounds like the y2k scare,if the manufacture doesnt include this in there proccess and it warrants legitimate placement the man. is responsible for any damage resulting therefore. whats the big deal? its like waking up after y2k and saying what am i goijng to do with a $10,000 generator and 6 months of canned goods?

dont even think about stealing my idea its got patent pending #53928484903

How about a portable automatic car wash,3 sided nozzle spraying system extended off the side off a trailer,one for detergent,one for rinse one for wax,drive the cars through one at a time. when done pivot arms back onto trailer lock into place,go to next wash location.

How about hydraulics and 24 inch rims on the pressure wash trailer? naw thats too getto,i would like to see a trailer hopping 4 foot off the ground though.

Im in! although you can allready buy a $69 car alarm system that turns your machine on and off,burner on and off,and open two solenoids, and provide theft protection at the same time. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING CCRRAAZZYYYY! ANY SUGGESTIONS?

i seem to have a new stumbling block every week,i am beginning to learn this is just a part of being in business,its how you deal with the stumbling blocks that determine your success. i bet Donald Trump even with his wealth and fortune suffers a great deal of stress and obstacles to overcome on a daily basis. what is the most humerous is the people on the outside looking in who say "you got it made" if they only knew. the day that i can sit back and worry about nothing and know that i never have to work another day in my life is the day i will consider myself successful.

Can someone please tell me the way to measure the PH level of a wooden surface such as a deck prior to staining? Thank You PS. Beth you might want to hurry up with those wood tux samples,i just estimated a $3500 deck job yesterday.

Oh yeah just what i need more toys to play with. i have been wanting to test some of my home brews to see exactly whats going on,i have a concrete and brick wash thats incredible but i am mixing acids and bases together i would like to see what the actual ph level is. thanks for the link

thank you guys very much

do you test the wood dry or wet? thank you

red mud that has cured into the surface of the concrete i havent been able to remove before,if you find something let me know

i agree and my statement was a general one since i dont perform wood restoration services,i dont know what labor and pricing is involved. Case in point i own a Home Improvement company as well,and on one particular circumstance in dealing with a new account i was asked to insulate 900 sq ft. hang 28 boards of drywall on a ceiling,mud tape and finish painting for $2100 and supply materials. after advising the account i would take a loss on this job to help them get past this and get there account and beginning the job only to be told boldly by the lead man,who has to take the door handle out of his pocket to open the door on his company vehicle,i charged too much and he boasted about making $25 an hour. sometimes its just not worth wasting your breath arguing with some people. oh this was after the sentence about "when i used to be in business for myself,i bid by the job not the sq footage" enuff said,you just cant find a response for that statement.

that depends if the 1.50 was allready a "lowball cant make a profit if i keep doing this ill be filing bankruptcy monday price" we will all lower our prices to a certain point for volume,but sometime it gets out a hand. ive got companies who will give me all the work i want,but it is at prices that makes you wonder if its worth losing your respect taking? thats a question that affects us all i have made $5,000 a week and i have also worked 4 days for $400 after making one its hard to accept the other.

thats a good point ron,we all hate to turn down money,on the other hand just as soon as we try to cut a corner it will come back to haunt us,on these jobs i just do it and do a good job,and consider it cash flow,i wont do it often and i wont do it if i think the other person is trying to work me.
