Just too much for me to handle without keeping two extra employees on staff, so here’s what I have for sale. VEHICLE: A 2001 GMC 3500 (same as an Isuzu NPR) flatbed with...

    Contemplating a downsizing......

    Well, I'm wrestling with the idea of getting out of the commercial end of the biz. I've got a great clientele for the residential market which requires little to no advertising, and operational costs are minuscule compared to commercial. Let me explain that first, this is a decision I haven't...

    BBB stongarm tactics??

    Just had a ten minute argument with our local BBB rep. Seems they want me back badly, but when I explain that for $480 I don't see a good ROI, she really got offended. I joined up in 2006 and specifically told the rep I spoke with that I track new advertising and memberships closely, to see if...

    Large scale acid application

    I posted this over at TGS as well. I am working on a large bid for a townhome assoc. for sidewalks, curbs, and entry walkways (25,000 sq ft or so). This is REAL heavy with irrigation rust. I tested citric, oxalic, and super rust out, side-by-side and oxalic came out the clear winner hands down...

    City violating CWA??

    This might be lengthy, but I thought it might be a worthwhile post. I was informed a couple of days ago, by my wife, that there were several people with safety vests power washing sidewalks in downtown Minneapolis. Of course this piqued my interest, because we washed sidewalks downtown for...

    Well, now were all stereotyped.......

    evidently the murderers they have in custody down in FL were tied together in a business venture (pressure washing and detailing). As if the florida guys didn't have enough to deal with... http://www.fox10tv.com/dpp/news/local_news/pensacola/Sheriffsayssuspectstiedbybusiness Anyone know the...

    Sweeper for garages?

    I have a chance to pick up a Tennant sweeper, propane powered, for a decent cost. It's a ride-on model, and I have used these before in my previous line of work. Question: is this a decent choice for ramp sweeping? I have, in the past, just made sure the ramp owner had it swept before we came...

    Delavan Question

    I'm adding a new Delavan 5800 in my box truck, actually re-configuring the whole truck (3rd time in 3 yrs). Anyway, My hose reel stack will be 3 high with the top reel holding 5/8" hose for the Delavan. I have room to mount the pump on the same plate as the reel and was going to just use a 55...
