Jarrod 22 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because of the carrying capacity of the bus that I'm chartering, I have to limit attendance to 45 people. I am currently working with the vendors about the cost of this event. As soon as I find out about the cost to the attendees, I'll post that number. Whatever the cost is to the attendees, believe me, it will be worth it. Barry and Don are helping me to plan this event. I want to thank them for that. I will be talking to Michael Kreisle this week regarding his topic. He shared a ton of great info at the STL RT in Feb. For the demos - Deck strip - I will be stripping a 500 sq. ft. deck and going over all the tricks that will save you a ton of time. House wash - I will wash a nasty, moldy house using the downstream method. This will give you a "hands on" look at this method. If you're on the fence with ds'ing houses, this will convince you that ds'ing is faster & easier than X-Jetting. Deck stain - Me & Barry will stain a 500 sq. ft. deck with Wood Tux. And yes, it will be wet. I will share my efficiency methods with you as well. It's one thing to read and hear about methods. But I gotta tell you, seeing is believing! What's really cool, you get to see WTW in action in a real setting. If there's enough interest, I will also do a short fleet wash demo. Each demo will take less than an hour to do. (As far as the labor goes) I talked to both Bob and Paul. They said that they will gladly bring highly asked about items and maybe some concept items (time permitting) to the RT. We have plenty of room at the hotel for a viewing section. If time allows, product demos might happen too. How many times have you wished you bought something sooner, but you didn't b/c you did not fully understand the product? Start posting what you want to see at the RT. I want to see a 4 way tip switcher! I'm not giving up on that! Let's face it, the end of July is always slow for most of us. Let's get all fired up again and learn some stuff too. What's nice is, when we all go back home, we can apply all this stuff right away! There's still plenty of good working weather after the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PressurePros 249 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 Damn, Jarr, you know I want to come.. that time is not looking good though. :( You know the week before will be a R/T . Kriesle will be speaking there too. I'll do the marketing portion and Roger will bring up his 30 gpm 400 hp staining beast. Maybe we can stain the entire boardwalk? I'm stockpiling eggs now.

StainlessDeal 16 Report post Posted May 28, 2007 I go away for a little while, and everybody gets delusions of grandeur! I'd love to attend every RT, especially Jarrod's, but this one I will be missing, as I am expecting the arrival of my son waaaaaay too close to these dates to be out away from Chateau Millen. I'd love to ride out for this one, maybe some other time. Keep me posted on the events, I want detailed info, no summaries. lol! What happened to September?:lgtear: I guess I shouldn't even complain, Don Marler hosted a roundtable when his daughter was only months old. I hope you all have legendary fun, and that it keeps you on the phone to my lonely self for hours telling me about it.:lgwave: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACSTravis 14 Report post Posted May 29, 2007 Jarrod, I know you don't know me, but this sounds fantastic, it sounds like the answers to my questions all in one place. So, pending the price, my partner and I will definitely try to make it. It makes it easier because I work at Comair at night and get free airfare! So let us know what the ballpark cost will be and we'll go from there. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
