You know, one time I saw a cook book that had a couple of recipes from about all of the different ladies of a certain congregation. The cook book was an absolute success, with the beginning showing all the different weights and measures and all kinds of neat little tips and tricks about cooking.
Before I loose everyones attention, maybe I should explain.
I had an idea here that I thought might be of financial benefit to this web site. Now I know there is probably a lot more work involved than I am probably realizing at this time but here goes.
Why couldn't we all get together, each of us write a few tips and tricks that would be beneficial to all of us as a professional group.
When we put them all together, we could turn them all over to a publisher who could in turn help Dan put together a powerwasher's book called of course, the pressure washing zone, or something like that. The proceeds from the book could help fund this site and help Dan emensely. It could really enhance our ability to be better at our profession than you can imagine.
You know, the company in Ft. Worth did a book and charges about $39.00 a book.
We could send each volunteer a form with a list of all the different things we powerwash and in turn, each volunteer could give their tips and tricks on about each and every different methods and chemicals they use. Boy what a book that would be. You know, all the master minds in one book.
One day, the money would start to pour in. It doesn't have to be sold only on this website, but could be sold all over the states.
Well, think about it. It wouldn't be as much work on one person alone to write the entire book, but an OVERALL effort to write a few pages of ideas tips and tricks and the overall outcome would be a real nice donation to Dan and this website on a regular bases, you know, kind of like residual donations (income) to keep the site growing.
I realize that someone would have to put in a lot more energy and have to tie up all of the loose ends but eventually there would be a great benefit for a lot of people.
Maybe we could make a few editions every couple of years, you know with some new volunteers each time. It would help us all keep up to date and really get some attention for our profession.
Well it was just a thought.
As long as someone didn't get greedy and try to get rich, it would really be a good thing. I for one, trust Dan Flynn(I don't think I stand alone,). It would be our contribution to Dan and the members for helping us through some pretty tough times.
Anyway, if there is enough interest in this book, I will try to find the old recipe book and get the outline to whomever might be interested.
Have a Great Day!
