How tall of a strucutre are you washing. I can't think of anything under 40' that you would need a ladder to wash. Are orchard ladders telescoping?

Sounds like you need to find a better man. :)

That says volumes doesn't Rick?

I said that, Tony said that, SJ said that. Many have said that. We are/were members that said that. Just helping you with the fact check. Most know the real reason, some just overlook it for other benefits. Each to his own .

Really John? Why do you have to make it personal? If you can't keep this civil I will have to have this thread closed. Thank you for pointing out how a trade associaction could become so powerful that it controls 33% of the work force. Let us all hope the PW%A keeps certifing people to clean roofs with high pressure and hydroxide and spying on contractors. We need little things like that to help contractors see thru the mirror at what could happen to them if they join such groups. Thank you for you tireless effort in exposing these threats John.

If it is the 4bd1t 4cyl engine, steer clear of it with that many miles.

The link you posted was to a trade article, not the EPA. Be careful of what you read and how it is interpreted. Next thing you know you will have people believing that the EPA says things like "nothing but rain down the drain".

That is an incorrect statement. The trade associations are responsible for most of what is wrong with regulations now. We need to fight against representaion that does not benefit contractors. The issues I have had locally have been taken care of by me, and local contractors. Trade associations are typically concerned with what makes them look good. I cannot name one national association that has not been detrimental to contractors. Just my opinion.

To help benefit our industry, I would prefer neither.

Thanks

I hate getting phone calls so I try not to call other people either. My other account was under offdutyfireman . I don't mind if they are merged or not,I just can't get the signature thingy to work. William 919-524-3875 Go figure, now the signature is there.

I have not been able to sign in under my old account for a month or so now. I have sent a dozen email thingys thru the request new password button to no avail. I created this account but no matter how many times I edit my password and hit the save button, it doesn't take. Any suggestions. William Raleigh NC Pressure Washing Company 919-524-3875

You lost me there. I don't believe you are a third grader. I was giving you a compliment on posting and not closing your thread. That has been what everyone has been laughing about. I have no concern for the story. Be gracious and accept compliments when they are given.

John, I was giving you a compliment. I cannot follow the train of thought in your previous post, but you sounded defensive. Congrats on your Babe Ruth thing. I actually have two recepients sending me theirs when they get them. Can't wait.

Congratulations John on not closing this thread. That shows a new level of maturity that many of those laughing will maybe notice. Being able to accept comments about one's actions without hiding behind the controls is a step in the right direction. Doug, there is no national importance.

John, I would say leave it be. Hopefully the ship will sink with little disurbance to the waves. All the lies and behind the scenes stuff are finally coming to a boiling point and hopefully, for all contractors, this will just be a thing of the past. Think about how it sounds when you get what you ask for, don't like it, then demand for it be reversed. I have three boys under twelve years old and I know exactly how it sounds.

I couldn't sign in under my old password and after a few weeks of trying to get another one I gave up and made a new profile. Second time I have had to do that over the years. I don't remember how to do the signature thingy if you can give me some insight. My wife wrote grant request for the state for several years. I can assure you there is no such thing as a free grant. Private foundations don't pay into a "grant pool" either to keep tax-free status.

I would make sure that the grant money does not come from tax payers. Private grants would be OK.
