    Butter Nut :)

    Went to do a bid on a deck and house wash a couple days ago. Had the full rig with me and to make a long story short she had a very STEEP driveway with no place to turn around. Ended up wrapping the rig up against a tree. What a headache. Anyway, I sent her a bill for the entertainment we...

    We have the opportunity to pick up a 1997 Chevy Astro Cargo Van at about $8,000. It has 115,000 miles on it but has been kept up by the company that Gloria works for and it is in fantastic shape. No problems with it and the miles are all highway delivery miles. I have been using my own vehicle...

    Water Restrictions :(

    We are having water restrictions everywhere! We have called the water authority and they have said if it is part of your business then we can wash. The problem is the home owner does not want to use the extra water. Anyone else experiencing the same problems? Den in the Dustbowl...

    Wow, wow...

    You pull up and unload your gear. It is hot and there is no wind blowing to cool the sweat. You work for hours without a break. The wand feels as if it weighs 100 pounds and your grip is getting weak. The hot water drips down your arm and you shake your head when you just know that you have...
