  1. Contact Hory County & hire an off duty officer. They will steal everything when you turn your back. When my son first started with the phone company he was up on a pole and was watching the citizens trying to break into his van. He call the police and they (crooks) told the officer "we just wanted the copper"

    Go figure?


  2. Did you specifically ask if you had "care,custody and control" ?

    Scott

    Yep, the last insurance company told me they would pay for damages to the house next door but not the house I was working on. That when I learned about care custody & control.

    My friend still has my old company. I never placed a claim either did he. I explained it to him. He didn't seem to care, you figure it?


  3. John,

    I had that conversation last year with my agent (Atuo-Owners Insurance). I asked him about damages. I even went so far as to ask if by chance the electricity shorted & the house caught on fire. He stated I was covered. John, I'm a retired OIC of Organized Crimes so I always worried about liability in my past profession.

    I did waive the terrorism coverage, which I could not believe they offered.

  4. Saturday I had a 12x24' shed delivered. I had a garage door put at one end and double doors on the side. I just finished painting the floor about 30 minutes ago. Next week I'll get some crush & run and make a ramp so I can park my rig inside.

    Thw best thing about it its about 75' though the woods & you can't see it from the house. The other nice thing is its about 125' from the water so it has a great view.

    When I owned my Lawn care company we rented space and between the rent, electricity & other expenses so for me this was the way to go.

    Keeping my expenses low is the trick


  5. I use to own a Spring-Green Lawn Care franchise in the 1990's. Never again, they got royality on my gross (sliding scale). I found with Power Washing you can learn from the professionals on the BBS and work for free to gain experience.

    We also have many suppliers that help with questions.

    Some of the benefits to a franchise is the name (only if is well known)

    trainning and material purchase.

  7. Ken,

    I looked at the MSDS and it does not state whats in it? I looked at the bucket & it also doesn't have anything. It did state it is non hazardous under 29CFR 1910,1200.

    Dilution Ratios:

    General PWing - 20 parts of water to 1 part Pressure Wash Fluid

    Heavy-Duty Pwing - 10 parts of water to 1 part of Pressure Washing Fluid

    The web-site is www.mirachem.com

    The company is out of Phoenix AZ.

    Thanks,

    Phil


  8. I had one the other day.... The deck was aprrox 550 Sq FT. He wanted me to wash it. It was in really bad shape & had a acyrlic stain put on it years ago.

    I told him $558 to strip & neturalize it. He said "I give you $65". I told him I was in business to make money & since he wasn't my father I don't work for free. He told me he could get it done for $65. I asked him for my estimate sheet back, told him to have a nice day and walked away.

    OH! he ownes the small town of Lively Virginia & is worth millions. I guess that why he rich & I'm not.
