  1. Todd...just to play devil's advocate.

    If I go on ebay to look for something like say a pw. I don't give it the time of day if there are no pictures. It could have the greatest headlines, but if there are no pictures, I'm not even gonna click on it to read how wonderful the machine is.

    I know you said that words sell and pictures support and I think that you exactly right. You have obviously done your homework in this area, I'm just trying to throw some kind of monkey wrench in there somewhere to pick your brain some more...:D


  2. why couldn't we have a spec sheet (I dont remember what they are really called) but say you take your car to the shop to have a water pump replaced. They have a book that says how long that should take. If the mechanic takes longer than that, it's on him-he loses money. If he can do it quicker than the time alotted in the book then he's making money.....

    just a thought....

    I know how long it takes me to clean different systems. I could pretty much put that on paper and if my employee takes longer than what's on the paper...it's on him, right?


  3. You guys are real inspirations. I love hearing positive stories like that Craig and Kevin....thanks for sharing :)

    I just hired my first "real" employee yesterday. I'm paying a % of the job as well. Being that I'm still on the truck, he will be my helper until he's pretty comfortable doing what helpers do. Then, I'm going to train him to be me, and move myself into the helper slot. When I'm comfortable with his work in that position, I will then hire him a helper and step off of the truck.

    I plan on continuing this pattern until I have about 3 or 4 crews going. (gotta see what the market will bare)


  4. Alan...I have a HALLMARK for my hood cleaning rig. It's a piece of crap!!! I'm constantly replacing screws that vibrate out and fall out while driving. When I get the new screws I put a little loc-tite on them so it doesn't happen again, but if I don't catch them in time, I've had 4 out of one side before. I could pry the sheet metal out enough to get my hand in the trailer....

    However, it does tow nice and the axles have held up well....I grease them about every 20K


  5. it's just a scheme drudged up by the Bush admin...the Dow really isn't that high. I know that the un-employment numbers are lower than that have been all through the Clinton administration on paper, but people are hurting and starving out there. I know that there has not been ONE single terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, but we really aren't safer. I know that the gas prices per barrel aren't even close to the price they were years ago in today's money, but Bush is ripping off the American people and the oil companies are in his pockets...I know that 6 million jobs have been created in the last few years, but that tax break for the rich is no good for America....

    Boy, you conservatives have got it all wrong....bunch a wackos..:D


  6. funny...this is a picture from my webcam of the shirt I'm wearing today and the hat I'm wearing today....

    This is a dangerous task in the great state of California :D but I do it anyway..

    by the way...Larry, you should wanna shoot yourself because your a Packers Fan, not because you fall in line with some redneck repubs...hahahh. I don't have much room to talk, my Redskins are doing lowsy too...
