    Business Logo's

    Just my opinion... but seeing as how a national ad firm that does print and video work for several Fortune 200 companies has reviewed the logo that Nicole provided to me - and suggested only 1 very minor change to the font - I think we'll be okay with it. It's very memorable, makes a bold...

    Buying a Business

    I agree with Eric. Take the $15K and the knowledge of the work that has been done for the last 2 months and start your own deal. You can lease-to-purchase the equipment, get some basic advertising. Call on the very same companies you've been cleaning for him (he shouldn't mind, he's going out...

    Monthly scheduled discount.

    Depends... on if it's just 1 site - no discount. Multiple sites within a reasonable driving distance to each other (metro locations like banks) - we're pulling 10% out. One account has 15 sites that are up to 120 miles apart - no discount for monthly flatwork pw'ing, but we discount...

    business plan

    will share mine Provide me with your email, and I'll send you a copy of the one I worked up. It was good enough to get me all the financing I needed and all the work I wanted. Keep in mind that I'm a minimalist - always looking at worst and planning contingencies.

    Anybody PW'd chair frames?

    Been asked to take cushions off of 300 simple chairs, remove old paint / rust from metal frame, repaint. No-brainer on the cushions and repaint. Looking for suggestions on racking the metal clean. Not going to recover or clean up for this job, so nothing bad for the environment. Have a...

    Insurance question

    insurance - gotta have it I'm a property mgr with over 50 comm'l sites and 1.5M sf on book. And if a vendor doesn't have minimum insurance ($1M liab if exterior work, $3M if interior work; $1M auto; $1M work comp or a state exemption cert), they don't even need to bother showing up. Having...

    Got a stupid question

    ;) Thanks for clearing that up. I completely understand and respect that policy. Actually, when I was at the PWNA show in MEM, that other company's demo was quite amusing. NOT amazing, but amusing. As in, a circus is amusing. The 3 Stooges are amusing. You get the drift. I haven't...

    Got a stupid question

    Okay, maybe not stupid, but definitely unimformed. I have noticed that several references to a certain Ft Worth PW company / supplier / trainer are "xxxxx"'d out rather than having the company's name listed. Even seems that the mention of the owner's name brings out fear of thread deletion...

    "High Flow"

    Saw a set-up just as you described at the PWNA show this year. It had a very high HCCP (holy crap cleaning power) factor. Just as you described: 2 Honda 18's linked thru a T-fitting, either dual or solo ops, one gun or two, 18+ gpm's, 4K psi. I did a review under the Product Review forum (top...

    Need Closed trailer help

    weight on axles Responses are correct: you want the max weight almost directly over the tandems, maybe just a bit shifted forward. Just a precaution, though: Don't put too much equipment in the nose of the trailer unless you plan on keeping your tank(s) pretty full. An empty tank on the...

    Cash receipt help???

    Hi-tech but worth it I have to keep up with cash and credit receipts for at least 2 years. What I do is scan them into my laptop once a week using my do-it-all printer (print, copy, fax, scan). Then I save those scanned receipts to a flash drive. Any time I need to produce a receipt (for a...

    Surface Cleaners: Hover Type OR Wheeled Type?

    Yep, that's it. I think it was the ANT2D. Spot cleaner (I called it a gum blaster), water broom, that's it. Again, I'm a bit uneducated at this biz - believe I'm looking at a June 1 kickoff for my PW biz - but I know what I see, and I saw this thing clean circles around other stuff.

    Surface Cleaners: Hover Type OR Wheeled Type?

    I was at the PWNA show a few weeks ago and saw a lot of equipment in action. I posted a review in the "review" section. From what I saw, the HydroTek contractor model SC was unstoppable. Had a gum blaster and a water broom on board. And the price was decent - much more so than a lot of other...
