And now you know "The Rest of the Story".

The Left Coast is another world. If I lived there which I would not, I'd work the system. You can't change it. You may as well figure out a way to feed your family. That's what it's about isn't it?
 
Great points Jim.

When I first saw this contract I immediately said to myself...dang this would a perfect one for Jim. It is right up your alley and it is not far from you. Deadline is not until July 15, 2009....

The laws here are what Jim says...they are crazy. This is why I am getting out of the business to become a goat herder! :D LOL

The water police stopped me in San Ramon. We were rinsing Brickform release from a stamped concrete job and it was going into the gravity flow drains and out into the curb line. He was cool as saw my work in the area but warned me of the hefty fine I would/could get the next time.

Boy that's low..... We always carried a 3 million UMBRELLA until yesterday. I know that some of us here on the BBS ( Eastern ) that I talked to today have been required to carry a $4 million umbrella policy on some of their jobs.

The above requirements must be for a lower paying cleaning jobs.

If in California Bay Area, you know Carlos that you, by law, have to get permits from the SD in the area as well as notify the SRWQCB as well as the county on top of the city jobs. A proven filter with blue prints must be submitted to these Dept's.

Now water usage may be an issue as well. And the fire dept must be notified for the obvious reasons.

Carlos, may I suggest that you make sure before you put the UAMCC on the books for credit of this job, that you check out who is representing you from the cleaning. The last thing you want is to give this bid to someone who is not qualified, they get busted with your logo on the front page as the organization who recommended the job. That would not look good for the UAMCC.

So far over 180k in fines from people doing a parking garage incorrectly as of January in one district alone. Even strapped SF is looking to cash in.

Let me know if I can help....

Jim is working in a particular area. I have no doubt that Jim is experiencing exactly what he's reporting on the board. He is set up for that kind of thing and his operation is perfect for those who have a lot more money than they have sense.

I've seen almost all of Jim's equipment. (ok, let the jokes begin) I know what he uses to clean. He has trusted me with information that has taken him years to perfect. He's a hard working guy that has a market of loonies that have to be served and he does it well and is paid well to do it.

I kid around with Jim here but I don't want his customers' thought process spreading outside the California border.

Jim is a decent guy posting information on here because he thinks it might be relevant either now or in the future in helping someone get the jump on their market if it turns that way.

I enjoy poking fun at his posts. I'm not poking fun at Jim (much) because I respect his business acumen too much for that. But I like poking fun at the morons who make his market possible.
 
Everytime I read a Jim post ...I learn something about this industry..
although I will never clean a garage (never say never) I have learned its unique and has many liabilities if not performed legally or correctly..

also everytime I read a jims post I'm reminded of this guy who was pressure washing in dallas (in 1987 ) he was using chemicals someone made a compliant about water run off ...they called the fire department ...(who the hell calls the fire department ? yikes) fire deptment does a ph test
police come out ...tickets that guy ...guy goes to court ...gets a 500 dollar fine (1987 ..500 dollars) pays attorney more money..

so anyway Jim keep postin as it its a reminder to me what a schmuck I was in 1987 :(

I agree. Jim definitely contributes to the forum. Not a lot of it is relative to our geographic areas yet? He also knows how to take some kidding and not let it bother him.
 
That is true, most of that does not apply to most areas in the U.S. but it is coming, might take 50 years to get to Mississippi, 70 years to make it to Alabama and 100 years to get to Florida but it is coming, everyone get ready.
 
Been ready

I am sure that everyone knows that I am not being 100% serious.

As for having fantasies about me and your fantasies about dogs and ribbons and that other stuff, keep it off the boards Jim, people will think that you are more odd than normal. hahahahahahaha

You sure are creative, was that from a dream? Second thought, don't answer that one, keep it private for your sake.

Have a nice day and stay out of the animal and adult stores.

hahahahahahaha
 
I really like Alabama, been there for the last 2 round tables and had a great time. I will be there next year also.

Jim, you should bring your trailer to the Alabama Round table next year, it will be fun. hahahahahahahaha
 
Jim, Alabama's not the state you need to worry about.....California is leading the country in a backward path.

I just found out (from Fox News:D)that this scene (depicted in youtube below) is actually from a Nostradamus prediction and the GPS coordinates puts this exact occurence 120 feet from you back door in the year 2014.

I'm researching the exact future date and place of the "squeal like a pig scene too. I'll get back to you when I have them narrowed down:p I wonder how far that will be from your back door... :eek:

Im with ya Rich, oh ya, Roll Tide!!
 
Jeff you funny....

Oh speaking of the filter..... we had to clean and re charge it at a cost of $4,728.00.

Oil, particles and sludge was a factor. We had over 640 gallons of material. I think we need a bigger filter.
