Church we did yesterday...

[Jim Martin]

this place was huge......

one truck on one side with a 225 foot run.....

one truck on the other side with a 200 foot run....

the trucks ran for 8 hours straight...it took him 8 hours and 20 min to do his side and it took me 8 hours to do my side....

first time I ever did this place...it needed some serious flushing out....

 

[mirf]

Did you use the Hoss?

 

[Jim Martin]

yes..........and the zipper and the wand....

 

[mirf]

The hoss seems slow to me with that type of square footage.

 

[Jim Martin]

I am more about the out come.....not so much how much time...it needed a deep flushing to get it back into shape......

 

[Jim Pemberton]

When was this place last cleaned Jim?

 

[Jim Martin]

they were telling me it had been a long time since it was done.........this is Katies old school....we have cleaned the school part for about 6 years...during this time..2 other companies that I know of have cleaned the church...

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Thanks Jim. The soil load seemed excessive for that type of place. Great to have one of those "stay there all day" jobs!

 

[Russ T.]

Nice work Jim!

Now that you got it all flushed out, would you consider encap next time?

Is the Zipper fast enough that you stick with that for the most part?

 

[Jim Martin]

it depends...on the condition of the carpet next time they want me to do it...I do not know why it took them so long to do the church...when I do the school the schedule for the last 6 years has been pretty much the same ...

I do the entire school...once a year...I do the pre K building twice a year..( I am scheduled to go do it in 2 weeks )...being the first time doing the church..I don't know what type of schedule it is on..but I hope it is sooner then last time...

the way that the church is set up...on the first 3 or 4 rows..you are only going to get a wand in there...as you move up I could fit the zipper in between them...I use the Hoss for the main areas and any other place I could fit it for the deep deep flushing....

every tool did exactly what I wanted it to do..........

 

[Desk Jockey]

You're not praying to those tools are ya?

I'm pretty confident they are false gods!

 

[Mikey P]

You're going to hell for dumping on the ground ya know..

 

[KevinD]

You're going to hell for dumping on the ground ya know..

Well then, It's going to be a hot after life for a lot of us.

 

[Charlie Lyman]

You're going to hell for dumping on the ground ya know..

That's only true in blue states. Red states believe that God is going to destroy the planet anyways.... so dump away.

 

[Jim Martin]

You're going to hell for dumping on the ground ya know..

I am pretty sure that I already have a front row seat with my name on it...right next to my ex mother in law....so at this point..might as well go big......

 

[Desk Jockey]

Don't worry Jim, you'll have company....most of us will be right there with ya!

 

[hogjowl]

An Irishman's Philosophy
There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.

If you are well,
There is nothing to worry about

If you are sick,
Then there are only two things to worry about:
Either you will get well or you will die.

If you get well,
There is nothing to worry about.

If you Die
Then there are only two things to worry about:
Either you will go to heaven or hell.

If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you go to hell,
You'll be so damn busy shaking hands with friends
You won't have time to worry!

I'm always afraid to run a rotary on glue down. You can't use the power head it just won't work. Always afraid it will damage the carpet.

Dat dare looks like crude wroil!
Just did one of our yearly church's yesterday.. My water was only coffee colored..

I bet both your backs are tweaked from pew navigation.

Man these Chevys look small to the big trucks.lol

 

[Mark Saiger]

I am just drooling over seeing a job of that size.

Love those types of commercial jobs

Jim, I found that the straight handle works very well under the pews in the churches I have been doing lately.

I don't have enough experience with the Z style handle (except having tried it at a couple festivals)

Still would like to give that Z handle a try some more, but I stuck with the Straight T handle knowing I would be doing some churches and other offices with cubicles.

Nice work and nice job.....(as I am still drooling typing this....)

 

[Jim Martin]

The handle was not the problem....it was the width.....first 3 or 4 rows were to tight....as I moved up I could use the zipper because they widened up....

Ah....Yes I understand that

 

[Desk Jockey]

I've not seen that happen but I suppose its possible. What will change my mind about use is if the concrete isn't level, it can make it difficult if not impossible to operate unless it had a floating head.

It's nice to see you guys cleaning churches, most of the ones we want out to do cold call ones that were medium to MEGA sizes wanted us to "donate" it to church....
