Give me a call, or shoot me an email. I have something you may be interested in. I've gone back to work full time, and have no time for pwing. Severe back problems have forced me out. If you want to check out pics, go to the photo gallery section here, and search the thread titled "my new...

The sooner you can get your name out there, the better.

1. A water tank is not a necessity, but a good idea if you're going to be out on remote jobs, like a farm tractor. Maybe it's just been pulled out of the mud, and won't run. The farmer wants it cleaned up before working on it. Maybe, for whatever reason, the farmer wants you to go to the...

Spend the extra $$$ to make your ad stand out among the competition. When you look in the yellow pages for something, do you call the first one listed or do you automatically find the biggest and most colorful ad? There are so many "AAA" this and that companies just to be listed first, they...

That's very cool. I didn't know that's how it worked. That being the case, you've done a valuble service to the community even if you didn't get one single phone call. Feel good about it. Randy

Having a missing child is as tragic and devastating to a parent as anyone can imagine. I myself have never had a missing child, nor do I know anyone who has. I only know how I feel about my kids, and how I pray that if any one of them should ever become missing, the general public WOULD look...

Sounds like a pretty solid idea, but be careful you don't get yourself so busy you can't handle school responsibilities. Nothing should take a backseat to education. I've been keeping up w/your posts, but I don't think I've ever chimed in. You're on the way to being a great success! Just...

I agree. I'll reitterate what Larry said. Give it a little time, always do a better job, and he'll leave the same way he came. Like a fart in the wind. Randy

Troy, the Small Business Administration has a guideline to creating a business plan. http://www.sba.gov/starting_business/startup/guide2.html#bplan. Randy

Mean Green from Dollar General has always worked for me. It's a butyl based degreaser. I've also heard good things about Simple Green. If ya let those bugs stay on there more than a week or so, they'll actually screw up the paint job. They have some kind of caustic or acidic subtance in their...

I wasn't making fun, either. I was serious. There's an old saying that goes "the only stupid questions are those that don't get asked." True enough. If you don't know something, then the only logical thing to do is to find out, or risk costing yourself lots of $$$$, not to mention a great deal...

I personally have not had a problem with the way I explained above. That being said, these guys (Ken & A Plus) have tons more experience than I do, so I digress. You should probably follow their advice. I can only tell you what has worked for me in the past. Randy

Did you really have to ask that question? Why do people prefer hot water when washing dishes? Washing clothes? Why should you wash your hands with hot water instead of cold? Answer: Because it cleans better!

TSP will aid in killing the molds and mildews a little faster. Ken is right, too. You gotta get more volume in your rinse. As dryvit is very fragile, be careful. Inspect it closely for any defects before you really get on it. You may have to get close for some of the especially stubborn...

Try adding a little trisodium phosphate. A cup or so. Maybe two. You can pick it up at Home Depot. Randy

Hey, Greg. I'll jump in w/my .02 cents. It's basically a matter of personal preference when dealing with water issues. Will you be recovering wastewater? Will you be doing numerous remote jobs? Remote jobsites may not have a nearby water supply, i.e., const equipment, new construction where...

As I said before. Purely curiosity. I used to roughneck in the oilfield, and Murphy Bros. built alot of our roads. Also, I used to haul propane out of Arcadia from the Martin plant. Passed by their Arcadia shop nearly every day. That's the only rock haulers I know of from your area, so I thought...

James, just out of curiosity, would this happen to be Murphy Bros trucks? Larry is the foremost authority on fleet washing, so I have no input for your question. Just curious. Randy

I suppose that is possible, Jon. Most of the other guys in my area are friends of mine, and the last time I spoke to them, they pretty much had their plates full. One is a full time college student who has all the work he has time for. One is a local pastor who stays pretty busy pastoring as...
