When I first read about a round table being planned about I was very excited about attending from the very beginning. As the drought got worse in the upstate of SC and mandatory water restrictions have shut down just about all pressure washing I have been working harder than ever trying to hustle up deck re-skinning and other projects to get me through this tough time.
I didn't think I could afford the time nor the money right to attend the Myrtle Beach Round Table, but at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to go any way. I called Jeff and asked if I could still get in and he told me to come on. He said he would pull up a chair from somewhere if he had to and I could pay my $19.50 at the door.
I don't know how Jeff accomplished all he did for the admission price because this had to be one of the best deals of the century. First we were set up with excellent facilities at the Holiday Inn. We were not in a bad area of town and I am sure everything probably would have been okay anyway, but Jeff had his crews on guard duty 24 hours a day watching over every one's trucks and rigs that were parked in the parking lot.
Jeff give us all a JL pressure washing coffee cup, tee shirt, we got a nice note book loaded with examples of letters, fliers, etc. that we could look at and get ideas of what we could all do for our our companies.
Jeff provided lunch to us all on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. We all got to hear from speakers on topics from how to contact the right people to talk to about attaining commercial work, environmental issues, the plans for the *****, how to make sense of those MSDS sheets and why it is so important for us to have them with us.
Ron ********** did an excellent job speaking and keeping everything rolling. I don't think I have ever seen anyone that could be speaking and giving out prizes at the same time and never miss a beat.
I got to meet people in person I have all been talking to in the forums for years and I met Randall Brooks from Blue Ridge Power Wash. Turns out Randall and I have known each other for about fifteen years from our previous lives. We were both surprised that we had been talking to each other on the Grime Scene and we had not put our names together.
I got to meet and make friends with other people and it was great to see the face of the person I have only known by name on this forum. It was great to meet and speak to Carlos from the ***** as it was for so many others.
We all got to meet and speak to vendors that we have done business with, but never talked to in person. We got to see new products and demonstrations and I have got to have one of those 1hp Honda pumps Bob from Pressure Tech demonstrated for us. Pete and Tracy from Sunbright personally delivered 10 gallons of Ready Seal to me at the MB/RT and that saved me more than $19.50 right there in shipping.
So not to make this any longer than it is there is no way to write down all that I got out of this for $19.50. The information I got out of this and all friendships I made during this RT is priceless.
Many thanks to Jeff and to Ron for making this RT such a success. Also my thanks to all the speakers, vendors and all that was in attendance for making this such a great weekend.
