    It's a calfing barn. They are getting a trophy this year. That same heard has been going for 100 years.

    I'd like a soap that won't effect the calves. I'll get harassed, I'm sure, when I say," I'm not overly concered about making much money", as I am doing the job right. The owner said the last guy ( dead now) took 3 hours. I told him I normally charge $185 per hr, for 3 guys inc the the gear. $6-700, and he supplies a water truck.

    If I've never done it, then i want the job, just to put it in my porfollio. People pay to go to school to get experiance. I'd like to put this in my photo sales book.

    SO, the question is, what soap, can I use that won't bother the calves ????????????

    I think I was very vauge. All he wants is the metal walls and ceiling. Not to worry about the flooring. Says money is tight ( ya, they all say that ), just walls and ceiling.

    Who knows how to clean cow (calf) barns.

    If you live in Canada, you are in the city, or the burbs or the country. And that can take almost 15 - 45 min. to get from one to the other.

    Has any one out there have any experiance with COWS.

    Help if you will. Just please don't guess.

    If you "know". I'm all ears.

    Good or Bad, nothing lasts for ever.

    That being said,

    Zig or Zag.

    As long as you are different, and can give a realistic and viable answer as to why you are more expensive, then there is a reason you are worth more.

    Labour is one of my cheapest costs. I'm not about to get into a peeing contest with anyone about price. People don't care about your costs of (insurance, uniforms, advertising ...) and the fly by night will always be around.

    Don't sell on price, when there are lots of people doing what you do, make changes.

    Sell. Sell. Sell.

    Now get the job done, in the amount of time quoted, get paid, cash the check, on to the next. Then you are in business.

    I'm going for a structural pestiside lic. over the winter. Seems like the obvious add on (or Extra).

    From boom Lic- fall arrest- confined spaces-water recovery- pests.

    I'm starting to think that the more Lic's and services, the more likely u r to become a 1 stop shop. Most people are either cheap, or lazy. I don't want the cheap ones. I'd rather cater to the lazy (comfortable) ones. They just want some one they can trust. Won't rip them off, tell them what will help, and will provide a service, at a reasonable rate.

    This is meant to be taken in a constructive and possative way.

    Go look in the mirror. That's who's going to get you out of this funk. Possative words are good encouragement. But YOU are the one that made it happen in the beginning. And you are the only one that will make it happen again.

    Help comes to those that help themselves. Go back to the basics. Thats what got you to the front the first time. No go do what you already know.

    Sodium Hyochlorite is what is used to help make drinking water safe, by the city's purification plants. It is also used in the hospitals.

    Sodium Hydroxide is used in the food industry.

    I'm sure there are a few here on the board that could probably write an essay on the subject. Being well versed on the soaps, detergents, and cleaning agents that you use is just an extra tool in the selling proccess.
