Thats weird..

Mine is just a measly PR of 2. I hope I can grow up to be like Barry some day.

I wouldnt worry about it. We had something like that last year. We did a two tone deck, she cut the check, said everything looked really good. A week later the husband calls back and said we missed a spot on the trellis. We did, as we were there she flew into my guy saying we were supposed to fill every knot hole in the deck. He called me, I told him to fix the trellis and to get out of there. I sent them a copy of our agreement, what I was going to do and what we did. It said nothing about filling knot holes. She called me dozens of times and finally I told her to not ever call again. You get them every now and then.

Looks good Rick. We just finished a 2 tone not too long ago. A pain in the arse, but its a nice feeling when it looks so good.

Hope all is well Scott

I missed another one.....:(

Just go and by another pair just like it. She'll never know.

I agree Terry. I just raised prices roughly 4% on my silver plan house wash. I'm going to go off topic a bit here, but this year has started off pretty good for me. The last couple of years were very challenging to say the least, with last year seeing my business become the Titantic. This year I have adapted to the higher price theory, and its working. Marketing cost are controlled WAY better than last year. My marketing got out of hand, and it just didnt return the results I needed. My closing rate could improve some, right now I'm at roughly 38% but $ wise I'm a few more hundred more than where I was last year. Raise those prices!

Jeff, are you using olympic maxium?

I knew I wasnt doing something right.

Ken, I might be missing something here... Your saying 5 time exposure rate to a list of 20,000. So that is 100,000 pieces total. Correct? I am assuming you based your 2% number off of 100,000. If that is correct then wouldnt it be 200 calls instead of 400 calls?

Bob will not treat you wrong on the shipping. I know he has a handling fee if the order is less than $30 or something like that, but anything over that I dont believe he makes anything on the shipping. He'll treat you right if there is an issue.

I used the delevan set up some last year, and it really went through the chems. On a oil based deck, I was able to mix f18 pretty hot and downstream. I like the idea of just one hose for everything.

Its been hard to get into the last few days.

I've had people use paypal. You (the customer) doesnt have to have an account with them. You have to be set up.
