I just wanted to clarify that there is some truth to the story. There was a child named Craig Sherhold (not Craig Sheppard) who was very ill and did have a wish to enter the Guiness Book of World Records with the most business cards. He eventually did set the world record, fully recovered and...

I'm facing my first audit and I was wondering if anyone can share an audit experience with me so I know what to expect. I'm kind of nervous because my pc crashed a few months ago and lost some files on jobs I did and the prices I charged. I fixed it up as best as possible by comparing bank...

A masonry contractor tried sealing a brand new $1 million building with Thompson's. He called in a panic because it badly stained the building and looks horrible. He's desperate to get rid of the stains. I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to power wash it off since the junk usually wears...

I'm looking for some opinions on how much you all consider a good profit at the end of the day for a one man operation. For example, when giving a bid on a job cleaning a huge vinyl sided house that will take a full 8-10 hour day, how much are you looking to walk away with? This type of job...

Hi Dan, I have a 3 year old Gateway and I'm using AOL 6.0 so everything is pretty much up to date. Last year I had the same problem when I used to frequent another site and I can't remember how I cleared it up. Now it only seems to be happening on this site. I know it probably doesn't...

Where to Buy in NY ? Thanks for the advice. I've been doing some research on the Hannay and Cox reels on the web and it seems like they can only be mail ordered. I'd really like to get my hands on them and actually test them out and see the quality before ordering. Anyone in the New York...

I'm having a problem accessing this site on my PC at home. Every time the page starts opening it just freezes and my whole system freezes up as well. Then I have to reboot. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe I have some programs that are conflicting with this new format???? Please...

It's time for some new hose reels ! Looking for some suggestions on where to get good quality at a good price. Are there any particular features I should look for?

Been asked to clean a tan stucco house. Kind of afraid to clean it and take the chance of ruining the stucco and removing the color. It's not that dirty, just a little mildew. I know I should probably use very low pressure, but what kind of soap/chemical, hot or cold water should I use...

Can't Draw Chemicals I have a hot water Alkota 5355 and it's not drawing any soap. I opened the valve all the way and nothing. Any suggestions? I have a big job tomorrow and need a quick fix !

Thanks for the tips and warnings about the health risks. I thought it over and realized it wasn't worth it. I called the customer and explained how unhealthy it could be and he agreed that he leaves the office sick every day. He said nobody believes him, especially the landlord who won't do...

Haven't look at the job yet, but the customer explained that he is on the second floor of a building and his window is right above a ledge with a store sign. Pigeons have been nesting there for a long time and the poop has built up so much the smell is horrendous. He said I might need some...

I'm considering ordering door hangers for advertising. Only allowed 10 small lines of wording. I was wondering if anyone has used these and if you can share some EYE CATCHING lines that have worked. ------------------

Thanks for the advice. I submitted my proposal for this job almost a year ago. I proposed the permanent or sacrifical and they chose the permanent. Obviously, they did a lot of thinking about this in a YEAR! They will be going on monthly maintenance with us and I explained if we use the...

Need to remove graffiti and apply a permanent anti graffiti coating. Can anyone suggest a product? Also, how much should I expect to pay and what is the square foot coverage? Thanks . . . . ------------------

I hate to bother you with this again . . . but if it is the pump packings, how much should I be prepared to spend on repairing it?? ------------------

Hey Wizard, I tried everything you mentioned and still no pressure. Any other suggestions before I bring it to the repair shop? The only other thing I can think of is I poured 2 5-gallon containers of diesel in before starting up the machine. I had this diesel in the containers for about 2...

Right now I have a 150 gallon water tank that takes up too much space in the van. I'm thinking of switching to an upright water tank. Can anyone tell me where to buy one and how much I can expect to pay? Thanks. ------------------

For those who can't find his website, just click on the picture of the little white house on the bottom of his posting and it will take you to his homepage. I have to admit it took me a while to figure it out. I hate to be critical, but the background made me Dizzy with all those dark...

I have a brand new hot water Alkota. Used it a few days ago with no problems and last night I couldn't get any pressure. The water was coming out of the hose very slowly. At times the flow would pick up, stop for a second and then pick up again, but never enough to pressure wash. The burner...
