A friend of mine is a member of the local chamber of commerce and has invited to a function.What can I expect and how can I maximize my time there?(for my biz of course)thanks

congrats

Great advice Grizzley,I ran out of cards to pass out,They have one of these things every thursday.About two hundred people at this one.lots of realtors,bankers,brokers,two reps from trucking companies.business owners galore,awesome networking!The mayor was there also.Once I'm more established I think it would be in my best interest to join.

How many houses did you wash in 05? I'll go first.hmm,let me see .....oh yeah.one.

I thought more people would have kept track of this.maybe I just have to much time on my hands.

Thanks Jeff,Price shoppers have really been bringing me down lately. I was considering changing my company name to palmetto estimates,got another one tommorow morning(fingers crossed)Its always nice to get a little pep talk.

lol,thanks for the tip about the can.

I just checked my cupboard and I don't have any corn cans.will peas and carrots suffice?

I think you may want to reevaluate your house washing procedure,washing and rinsing one section at a time,then applying ox afterwards.previous post on oxalic are very informative. As far as mixing it I use a scale but have also wondered what the actual cup(or whatever) to water amount would be. hope this helps

The 1.8/60 psi seems to be popular, northern tool usually has a decent price.What kind of backpack sprayer lasted you a year and what chems were you using with it? thanks

where did you find a x-jet for 66 dollars?

We would be if it was'nt for JL pressure washing!

I have been searching one side up and another side down google trying to find bleach resisant polo shirts. I have work pants by Dickies that are 65/35 polyester and cotton blend. They are navy and don't respond at all to bleach contact. Anyone have polos (that aren't $30/piece) that seem to have the same effect? Mine are 100% cotton and I'm having trouble finding a decent looking polo to wear to give estimates. Dustin

sure,unfortunately I have plenty to spare.

lol.thats funny,hows your roof setup coming along?

I tested several shirts with 5.5%.I found that shirts made of 85% polyester do not bleach. hats: www.blankcaps.com the ones I bought are made of 100%polyester and 100% nylon, low profile so I don't look like grandpa or a over the road trucker (no offense meant)

cool, that will help alot people,I made a 15 gal from a carwashe to wheel around on a dolly.

really happy with the polos.good quality for the price.bought shorts from dickies website.and 100% polyester hats, all logoed.I'm completely bleach proof.

Your full time job is pw. If your not pw then your full time job should be marketing. How many more people know about your services than yesterday?

Congrats on the promotion, I sometimes wished I would get let go.putting in my 2 weeks was hard to do.My biz is far from where I want it to be but my advice is that your favorite forum should be marketing, paying close attention to Ken,Jeff's and other vet's posts. Its all up to you now.you can do it!good luck

feel free to use mine. theres plenty more pic ops around here.I've seen alot of damage and really push my low pressure house washing.

Here's 2 more for you, Ken. This was the neighbor of a house wash I did today. It looked this way around the entire house. Amazing.

4 years in the marine corps =no money down and great interest rate. its great to own a home, your are forced to invest and when it rains all your stuff stays dry

how about worst movie you've seen? my vote goes to "stuck on you" I saw this one in the theater a year or two ago and it was so horrible I still talk about it.
