    wanting to be taught

    One other alternative for you is the 2-day Kitchen Exhaust Certification class that will take place in Pittsburgh in about 13 days (PWNA Boot Camp). The cost is minimal (around $500 with the test and manual) but obviously plane tickets and hotel can run the bill up from that point.

    Isn't this business funny?

    We do residential work and September was dismal. October has picked up a lot (seems almost normal). I don't know if its just the economy (people have money but are afraid to spend) or if all the 9/11 reminders affected spending. BTW, weve been in a drought for four years in Georgia, and we have...

    Up front money

    We ask for 1/3 down at the time we schedule the work, with the balance upon completion. We average no more than 3 jobs per season where the customer doesn't want to put down a deposit. In those few cases, we accept payment of the deposit amount when we do the washing. If we are doing...

    An Idea for Sunbrite

    What a cool idea! Thanks, Jon. This is a really interesting idea. Teaching fellow power-washers to be better or more efficient business people fits our view of how the world ought to work. Your feeling about being about two steps behind where you want to be describes how we operated until...
