Told you he was wild

I hope everyone is still doing well. I have been overwhelmed by all that has happened in tghe last year and have not been on much after a busy posting winter last year. My first son is now 17 months and way more than I can handle. Hes willlllld! His brother will be here by months end. Hope he is a little easier to handle. I hope to get back to posting and helping real soon. Til then heres a few pics.

I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THOSE ARE NOT MY PICS. THOSE MUST OF SOMEHOW GOT SWITCHED UP WITH MINE SOMEHOW DURING A SITE UPGRADE OR SOMETHING.

Just wanted to stop in and see how things were going. Haven't had much time for online, this has been an overwhelming season. Never thought I would say this but I can't wait for winter. These 10 hour days are killing me. But no pain, no gain. I'll be back to my posting self when things calm down. Beth and Rod, everything looks great. See ya this winter!!!

How is everyone? Been a while since I had time to sit at the ol' puter. This season is going to be a mad house here in NC. After the drought last year and the wettest winter/spring we have had in a long time combines for lots of business. It has rained everyday this week but I had to work in it to keep up. Today it is supposed to rain 2 inches so I decided to give it a rest. I'm leaving tonite for Indianapolis. Anyone here live around there? I'll be up there all day and nite friday. Hopefully it won't be raining or snowing there.

HAPPY B-DAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

On tuesday, right in the middle of the first job of the day I recieved a call on my cell from my brothers reserve unit Srg. She told my brother he had been deployed for one year duty in Operation Noble Eagle. He would be leaveing in two days. We immediatly quit work and I gave him the rest of his time here off. The bad thing is I am so booked I had to work 9 hours today and another 10 tommorow. I hired a new guy who is a great worker, but for every up there is a down so therefore he has no licence. I have to pick him up and drop him off everyday. I am way to busy to look for another guy, but I need one who can drive. I'm happy my brother is getting to go like he wanted to but sad he is gone. He will miss a whole year of his nephews growing up, birthdays, christmas, thanksgiving, easter, 4 of july, and all the other great things I have always took for granted. I also took for granted how great of an employee my brother was. I never had to say a thing, he knew what to do. I hope I can keep up this year without him! Please help the forces by donating phone cards, whether or not you believe in the war and support you should still put those out dying for us first no matter what.

I stick with Ready Seal and Olympic. I really like the Ready Seal light brown. I use Olympic when I can,t wait on the Ready Seal. I started out useing Wolmans, but found their products to be time consuming to apply and it just didn't last more than a year without beginning to look bad. I,m ready to hear the reviews on Wood Tux. Anyone applied it to aged wood yet?

Welcome aboard Jason. Hope we can help you grow your business.

Try Sure Klean 600 detergent or their 800 stain remover. Has worked for me in the past, depends on how deep that red mun is in the surface. Do not apply more than 2 applications or it may damage the surface.

Theres no way you could do it for $600. You said 139 to fly. Budget is cheapest on trucks and one way from there would cost you around 700-800 plus the 600-700 you'll spend on fuel. Don't forget motel and food costs. The last few years I,v spent 4 months of the year on the road, so trust me the expenses add up. Last Time I went to amarillo it cost me 175 each way for gas, but average gas prices were 1.00 a gallon.

I can go from Chapel Hill, NC to Amarillo, TX in 20 hours. I think the milage is about 1700. This should help you figyre your time. Keep in mind I only stop for gas to do it this fast and I run atleast 10 - 15 over the speed limit. Its a buetiful trip going from mountains to plains to desert. If you have the time I highly suggest you make the trip yourself. And be sure to stop at The Big Texan in Amarillo and see if you can eat their famous 72 ounce steak dinner.

I'll go get it for you and deliver it. I have family in Texas I would love to see. Let me know if your interested and I'll give you a price.
