Still need to work on that signature a little please.

We have had many come work here in NC - from as far away as Michigan and as close as our immediate area. With that said, we may be more the exception than the rule on training someone right next door. At any rate, feel free to call Roger (336-516-6139 Carolina ProWash) and talk with him about what may be happening this spring that might interest you. For travel purposes, zip is 27253.

Keenan - I personally wouldn't attending an event if you haven't decided exactly what you want to do. The information you will gain from just talking to those already established in what they are doing can have a tremendous bearing on what you may choose to direct your energies toward. You should also first research YOUR market. NC, TX and AZ all have vastly different circumstances than TN, particularly since you are considering the residential sector. Education is key - look at courses but also put feelers out for companies that offer labor for learning if you have an initial start up budget that may not allow for "formal" educational expenditures. As far as equipment, both Bob and Russ are excellent sources. You may also want to look at ACR Products and SunBrite Supply (both of whom are vendors on this site). Any of these will take good care of you in my opinion. We have had nothing but good experiences with all.

LOL - Forum Accident - it's still relevant :)

Roberto, Blue Bliss & NorthEast........ Welcome to TGS - Please add a signature - House Rules!

Keenan - all of your thoughts, doubts, concerns, etc... have been addressed at least one time on this forum. The quickest way to get information is to make yourself a list.....then search each pertinent term on that list. Unfortunately, posts like this that have 20 different topics in one tend to get very convoluted :) Good Luck and Happy Learning :) PS - GREAT job on your signature!! Thanks!

Look at post #4 - not there! Poor Brian :)

We have the TWP 1500 on our chicken coop. Application was a little strange (since being used to "good" oils) but thus far it is holding up extremely well for Round One - even under regular chicken poop bombs. As with most stains, the test will be with the maintenance.

That was very strange......when I looked at the post earlier, it wasn't there but seeing it now - I can remember seeing that. Weird. LOL - if he'd slapped you on the hand I'd ask if you wanted a kiss on the boo-boo, but I don't kiss butts :)

Hey Hoover......how about a signature please :)

If the heater in your hot tub goes out and you can add 200 gallons of new hot water as needed, you might be..... :)

Name Company And if you can't find anything about wood on here - you seriously have a problem. This is THE forum for wood care professionals - millions of square feet of wood taken care of. Searching is NOT hard. Signature please or I will infract you. I'm grumpy tonite.

First, please add a signature - house rules. Second - NEVER use high pressure on wood. All you are going to accomplish is ripping the wood to shreds. What type bleach are you using - ie % PS - Welcome to TGS :)

Work is slowing outside so we're working on some office projects - including our MSDS binders. Cold or inclimate weather is an excellent time to make this a priority since new products hit the market every year. How many keep an MSDS binder not only IN each of your trucks, but also another copy in the office? What sort of "order" are your sheets in? Are they simply in alphabetical order by product name or chemical name? In case of an emergency, it is vital that someone be able to easily find the sheet. For those with crews running that may not have mastered speaking English, much less read it - do you have other translations? I just thought that this was a good time to bring this subject up :) Celeste

Our thoughts are with you Marko - may God help you to find peace in this time of sorrow. Roger & Celeste

Copied from another BBS: [h=2]New Orleans Pressure Washing Class[/h] Would you like to learn more about pressure washing, softwashing, and roof cleaning? Do you want to start offering these services in addition to window cleaning? Do you already offer these services, but are curious whether you're doing them in the safest and most effective manner? Want to learn how to make amazing profits with minimal effort? Then consider attending this special 5 hour long information packed class on Thursday, Feb. 2nd in New Orleans, LA. This is right before the 5th annual New Orleans Networking Event. In fact, this class will also be held in the main meeting room at the Hotel Provincial right in the French Quarter. Class starts promptly at 9:00 AM. The course will be taught to drastically shorten the learning curve for contractors looking to get into pressure washing. We'll go over the equipment that is needed, how you can already use equipment you already own, how to maintain the equipment. You'll learn how to clean just about every exterior surface effectively and safely - increasing your profit margin. Attendees - new and seasoned alike - will benefit not only from the information presented during the class, but also from a binder with tons of printed information. No need to take notes! A few topics to be covered: Residential SoftWash Methods Commerical Concrete Cleaning Roof Cleaning Methods Chemical Usage & Safety Marketing Pressure Washing Disasters - and How to Avoid Them Tips & Tricks How to Downstream And Much More! I promise you'll leave New Orleans ready to make serious money offering these services - and you'll have the information and knowledge to do so! Preparations are in the works for a few hands on demonstrations. The cost of this class can EASILY be recouped in less then a day using the methods and practices taught. Register HERE! The first FIVE contractor seats are only $199.00 - once those go, the price is $299.00 a seat. Additional employees of a company are half price. The price will go up in January. Registration is limited due to room, so secure your spot today! This event is separate from the New Orleans Networking Event - So make sure you sign up for both. Check back here for more updates. Have a question? Call me direct - 864-356-3010. PressureWashingClass@gmail.com

Maybe I should run for President. Celeste

I think there is a huge power to be harnessed in this industry - if everyone can just play well together. No pokes, no bullying, no counterproductive crap.

Have you been nominated Charlie? I did see you listed on Ron's Dream Team.

But Thad, the candidate says they'll all have ties :lol:

This was by far the most interesting appearance in our Christmas parade yesterday! And yes, that is a child, in a saddle, on the back of that beast! You might be a redneck.....

You asked for questions - here are some.

So.........the "new" ***** is going to be a dictatorship? Ron's way or the highway? And I guess if BOD shots are only from the top up - you're good but frankly I expect professional attire to include PANTS.

Are you going to hire an editor for your posts?

This question is for everyone, not just those with employees. How many carry Worker's Comp insurance?
