    The remaining stain that won't strip off. Now what?

    Jim, Who wound up having to pay the $25K?? The PW did the damage and liability insurance wouldn't cover his asterisk since he didn't perform his duties properly. Right? He should have done some reasearch or asked in here before tackling that job. JRabbit

    Scanning your fleet accounts

    Bridget, I've had experience using bar code tracking in production work flow. We were tracking in the thousands of units and not dozens. When it was running right we could pinpoint Joe Customer's new widget with a few mouse clicks. Let it hit a bump and we couldn't use it to locate the plant...

    Scanning your fleet accounts

    Wouldn't missing the count be covered by comparing the printed slips with the number of trucks on the site?? You could do the usual job and afterwards go around and scan all of the trucks at one sweep. It would be like production scan tracking, do the pile of work assigned and scan all at once...

    Vinyl Siding . . . Bottom to Top?

    Mike, Streaked the siding way bad. Customer went nuts, guy was running sans insurance (not a good idea huh?) and after some legal wrangling he settled it by residing the house. Wish I could say he got insurance and made it all work but far as I know he's running a convenience store somewhere...

    What's up with this!

    I understood it was the dirt, not the siding color that had faded. No suggestions on cleaning 'cept to keep doing what you had some success with, til it's acceptable to the customer. As to cause, if the grime is on North side, facing the state highway, that side would be in the shade and would...

    Vinyl Siding . . . Bottom to Top?

    Mike, I know two people who paid dearly learning that lesson. Streaked siding and angry customers. One broke even by lucking out with cleaning, the second choked on $10K in repairs and replacement of the siding. JRabbit

    Vinyl Siding . . . Bottom to Top?

    Mirage, Wash bottom to top and the dirt gets rinsed down over the clean areas. Wash top to bottom and the raw chemical runs thru the dirt below and doesn't get pressure washed away til long after the recommended few minutes. If it goes wrong enough you're either spending lots of time trying to...

    Great New Product!!!

    You have the outdated pics. The upgrade version has a walker attachment and there's another style that has those spin around letters for when you hire infants to press wash their cribs. You could save a few $$$ and buy the stick with a chunk of sandpaper on the end for $22.99 S&H is only...

    Interviewing going par for the course

    Walt, Was gonna suggest you throw some worse case scenarios at the applicants and see their replies but it looks like they're bringing their own to the interviews. Ya might want to hold the meetings at a local bar and look to hire the guy that has to ask directions. JRabbit

    engine wont start

    Jerome, Disconnect one end of the wire and measure the resistance with an ohm meter. Do it with the engine OFF! A properly working diode will measure zero resistance one way, Mega-resistance the other. Exchange the probes to measure in opp. direction. Diodes are used instead of fuses...

    A Matter Of Punctuation

    A unhappily married lady from down the street says she'd write that Woman without. Her man is NOTHING!!! I'd have asked his opinion but I never go into the watering hole he hangs in. JRabbit

    TANK UPDATE>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Just a thought. Electricity follows the path of least resistance. Routine maintenance on an airless includes frequent checks of the resistance of the line to the gun, I forget the specs. (Something on the order of half a megOhm I think) If that resistance is too great, couldn't the charge...

    What do you expect the PWNA should give you for your $250.00 membership??????

    Oooops! So there's a potential problem that someone who wants to be in the initial meeting of the breakaway org. might want to attend the PWNA shindig. If the prospective audience has a great enough percentage who see a conflict, adjust the new group meeting for another weekend. Or provide...

    What do you expect the PWNA should give you for your $250.00 membership??????

    Same day as PWNA? PWNA members and nonmembers alike have voiced some dissatisfaction with that group. Your vanguard meeting in same town and same day as theirs might result in some networking with dissatisfied members who are attending the conference. Might expand the initial efforts. Might...

    Sub contracting work

    John, Higher prices won't make effort needed for bids any easier. Won't decrease time for each, won't shorten drive between. Bid 60 prospects, close 1/3, average $1,000 each, earn $20,000 for 20 jobs. Bid 60, close 1/6, average $1,250 each, earn $12,500 for your efforts. You'll increase...
