The Cleaner

Hope that helps out, we have been doing this alot of years but never seen it this bad.

Hydrant and a 2 1/2 inch drop hose. That is the only way to go with a job of this size.

We did a bunch of them one time in the Tampa Bay area of FL on the promise that they would sign a contract after they see our work. They just wanted them all cleaned up because they were so bad, of course no contract..go fiqure..

same here, i have a half page ad in the yellow book. I wont do that again, it cost me $650.00 per month to be in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.I have got a bad response with very little calls.Most of my calls were from other small companies looking for pricing so they can under cut me !!I do well in the homeowners associations monthly newsletter for $50.00 a month GO Fiqure!!We do alot of commercial accounts on a regular basis, i tried it out to see what kind of response i would get, well it did not work for me..

10-4 to that!! They have some unreal expectations.I was looking thru all the paperwork and they said that they would give me a 48 hour notice before they came to my place of buisness and looked thru my books, I dont think soooo!!!

We have had our share of cold weather lately.We do 80% of our clients at night.I think we had it down in the low 30's with a 15 to 20 mile an hour wind. Thats cold for florida, i know that you guy's up north have it bad and i dont miss it, the best thing about florida is that these cold spurts only last a few days, then back to sunny and warm..

I would never refer anyone, unless i have seen his work, or he has done work for me in the past.And depending on the refferal there would be some compensation for me. just my 2 cents..

Heres one that got me alot of work !! Attn:Property managers: Clean your filthy complexs, are you a bunch of animals or what !! If i have to look at that $hit on your roof another season i will have to report you to the PWNA and they will come out here and make you wish you had hired me. Being the kind of company we are, I will let you off easy with a warning this time, and only charge you a small fine on top of the cleaning price.We suggest you contact all the managers in this area and fill them in on this problem. Thank you and dont worry about calling us, we will come see you.. Regards Vinnie Goombats

This is a good topic. I get approched every single night i am out, soon as i turn on the geneator and my lights kick on.All of a sudden they come out of the woods or out from under a rock. I got so sick of it that i went and got myself, and trained a great dog.This was the best success i have found, no one will come any where near us.Most of the time these people are harmless hobo's or just strung out drunk's. But i have run in to a few that will not take no for an answer, and this is where it can get real ugly.We do alot of work in some undesireable locations and although i am leagally armed to protect my workers and myself, sometimes you dont hear them approach or even see them because of the engines running and the blarring lights. So with DUKE on guard ther is no more problems.

All you need to do is work with us.!! We are the best in the business.!! I dont think there is one company out there that does anything the same way.Knowlege in this business comes in time, we have been at it for 15 years.We have done everything from a 4 story prison to a 1 car driveway,and still there is more to learn. I think that you would do well with any one of the vet's on this board, and in time you will fall into your own grove of doing things.As time goes on you will learn all the do's and dont's and most important ,keeping a high degree of integrity in any and all job's you put your name on..

I downloaded the program.But i dont see how to get the tunes??

A true blessing at the most special time of year..Congrats !!!!

Here are a few..

I love my crimson trace laser sights !! on my small light hammerless S&W 357 magnum !! Once you zero this laser in , it is dead on.I highly recommend them especially if you do alot of night work as we do.Just putting that dot on someones chest is all that is needed in most cases,almost like racking a shell into a 12 gauge pump !!! We work in some pretty $hitty areas around Tampa Florida.We were actually right in the middle of a take down at a Lakeland florida walgreens we were cleaning.Some escapees were at the 24 hour location in a stolen car when all hell broke loose.So yea $hit happens when you least expect it.So i always say ,better be prepared to defend yourself and your workers at all times.LAL (Lock and Load)!!!

A great first defence is a well trained dog. Most people wont even come near me or my guys when Duke is on the job.Second is my 357 revolver with laser sight's..I have a consealed pistol permit here in florida,and thanks to Jeb Bush its getting easier to shoot the bad guys without alot of Bull$hit involved..

The only thing i can remember that was done by one of my guy's, was not making sure the hose reel was locked.Well you know where this is going!! It was about 4am on 75 north in florida.I kept looking behind me and seeing sparks and cars way back flashing there lights.it was late so it didnt register for a while,until the 200 ft of high pressure hose got a hold of a road sign and ripped the reel off the back of the trailer !!! I never forget to do a walk around before leaving every location since that fiasco.Like they say you learn through your mistakes and just hope no one gets hurt along the way..that was 9 years ago and i have been very lucky since then.

Look at it this way,if you were'nt getting older, what is the other alternative.. Yeah life is good !!!

Welcome to the site..

What works best to remove the tire tracks from the pavers??

Ditto !!

DITTO !!

We have done many like this in the past.this is where you make the big buck's.Trust me they already had a few people turn down the job because of the pitch. We get on it with climbing gear and clean it.When you do them you will get everyone else in the area.For a pitch like that i would charge no less than .20cents a sq ft.

The TS2021 is a very common pump which puts out 4.5 gpm.You should mount your unloader on a block in a very accesible area.If you are pulling water from a tank you will eventually have problems with your unloader. U can mount the unloader on a block with a swivel type fitting which makes it easy to remove and service.Put your tank over your axle and make sure you use a good mounting strap for the tank.Also make sure that your exhaust has a means of escape out a side door or even vent it thru the roof.The best tip orifice size for that pump is a 5.0,and if you want your pump to last a good long time make sure you run a line back to the tank off your unloader which will keep your pump flowing with cool water when the pump is running and your not working !!Just my 2cent's

Well im happy for you.I will pass that on to my friend who's son was raped and molested buy a priest calling himself a man of GOD..I am sure there is a God but it's everyone's interpitation of God that is the problem..I am done with this topic....

Everyone else can have a say, but i mention religion and i am the enemy.Sorry if i offended any one but that is how i feel,this is america !! I think you got to much time on your hands.***edited***
