  2. WINGS.....Freaking love them!!!!!!

    What no one wants to play? C'mon, I can't be the only one. This isn't highlander you know.
  3. Who's your dental ins. co.?

    Thx Ken. Reasearching them as well as a few others. Unreal what it has come to these days.
  4. Who's your dental ins. co.?

    .... a little far for me to travel Scott!
  5. WaterTanks - How to?

    .....plus..... you will need the shortest supply hose from tank to pump as possible. Too long of a hose will cause it to collapse and it will not draw water.
  6. I need to build something

    Investors of course!
  7. I need to build something

    I am still searching for a perfect deflection sheild for a wand that doesn't get destroyed after the first drop. or a respirator that actually allows for breathing. or a helper that that actually absorbs information instead of just sayin uh-huh. ( that would exceed 200 bucks though I'm sure). ... a manual truck mounted boomladder.... maybe 20 footer. a ticker sign trailer mounted running all of your specials as you cruise.... "Caution High Pressure Area" collapsable sign, like wet floor sign. quick mount flood lights for unexpected night work. A small camelback that holds ALOT of water. A "Lazy Susan" for chem jugs... I got a million of 'em Scott. Let's talk designers patent.
  8. Managing our industry

    LMAO guys......... listen, if it weren't for you guys I would still be doing malls with a 9 horse and a turbo nozzle. You are all tops in my book. Thx a million.
  9. Great talking with you Adam.
  10. Managing our industry

    To me, it seems like the Kingpins are Carlos in the west, ********** in Southwest, K. Fenner up North as well as Beth & Rod for Northern King ( & queenpins), in the East there is Lecours and Celeste who rule the kingdom. I certainly have learned alot from their post' over the years. As far as the Gulf east region goes, Russ in Alabama, I consider the same. Doolittle ruled ATL when he was in biz, and have yet to see anyone with his knowledge fill those shoes.There's also Cujo, and Alan that where a crown. I always like to be considered anally professional but certainly not a Kingpin. ( Not yet anyways). But I have helped many get started in this biz with what I have picked up from the bbs. I will own H-town in the future and hopefully acquire the brass buttons that those I speak of have. I am in a position now to take on help as my name grows around here but I refuse to do that until I get so backlogged that I can't keep up. But it is because of this board. I have work with folks that claim themselves as a 15-20 yr. vets that have yet to match my professionalism and skill with less than 6 yrs. I have seen 30 yr. painting vets that think they know all there is to know about PW, but yet it takes them 3 men and a day and a half to to clean a single ranch style. Jeez..... to my 45 minutes and just under 6 yrs. So it just goes to show the variety of "Pros" and difference in time taken to learn the trade. Differnt goals I guess. But yes I want to be the best at what I do and to be sought out, as one of the best, which is starting to happen this season. I just don't know if one can make a living in consulting. Who really would decide which contractors are the best anyways, other than our own personal takes on them? Sorry to babble, no sleep. I love my deck- jet and x-ster ......what?
  11. need some ideas for an enclosed trailer ramp

    I don't think you will need to reinforce as these things are designed to have 6k lb forklifts drive onto them for loading tractor trailers. Just cut the tongues, weld a hinge, flip it up with a stopper on the inside and close the doors.
  12. Stain on vinly

    depends on type of stain. Soap, water, stiff brush, elbow grease , if it was oil based. The longer it sits on the vinyl the tougher it will be to remove. Plus it may leave a shadow behind. Watch your psi if you decide to try and get it off with pressure.
  13. Managing our industry

    Don't we already have this, what you speak of, in TGS?
  14. need some ideas for an enclosed trailer ramp

    Get a dock plate Chris they are only about 300.00 and weigh only about 85 lbs. That's just my take on it. Grainger Industrial Supply
  15. My new plane.

    The build on my helicopter is going so so,... ugh, the cabin is almost finished and looking good. But it is taking it's toll on my brain. A million moving parts ect. So during the build of the real thing and a few other scale project builds ( things that go crash), I picked up this little Slo V with 370 electric, just to get my head in the clouds and off of the helicopter for a while. It's pretty fun, and I am ordering the bomb / parachute aerial drop module for it so I can drop things on people's heads. (kidding). I have been pretty busy with PW and staining too, so don't think I am playing all day. The day ends at 1:00 right? Watch the video.
  16. East Texas Woodies

    Seemed like a nice guy to me and genuine about the job. We never talked budget though. He may take the DIY approach if no one steps up. I just have a feeling that I wouldn't even break even on this one. Simply too far. Can't be in Austin and H-town at once. Wish I knew more people or had a transporter. I'd be rich. Got shut down on a deck spray and gutter / chimney project because of wind today. I know..... don't be lazy and grab a brush right. Maybe someone will chime in from that area and help the guy out. We've done all we can, unless you happen to have a transporter. Take care bro.
  17. Holding down a helicopter is no easy task!!!!!! Just think how effective a 30 incher can be.
  18. East Texas Woodies

    Pete, Jack Taylor has a deck resto in DFW (Oak Villas)area. If you want it. He called me to come up and do it but I had to decline. Distance vs. swamped for me right now.972-723-6491. He said he has left vox msg. to you but has not heard back from you. Check it out.... sounds like a pretty good project.
  19. My new plane.

    I believe he makes 700.00 per hour. Probably more for specialty trimming. He makes it look easy. Robinson 44 is a 450,000.00 bird, not to mention his conversion cost'. What a life.
  20. New arrivals

    congrats!!!!
  21. My new plane.

    Thx, doing it slow and right. Double and triple checking. I don't know how close you are to Holland, but my friend has a chain of liqour stores and laundry mats you might approach him about cleaning, Phil.
