I am glad you got Aaron some help with his work. At least there are two people working with two vans now instead of one guy working two vans....

Longest hose run for this place

Brought both vans just for faster set up... Stole 2.5 inch from the other...

Have not tried two vans together yet but have everything ready to try.... Except nice weather... Lol

Mark, did you look at an Aero tech when you bought your latest rig?

Just wondering, the gas running two rigs to the big jobs you seem to have a lot of seems kinda strange to me...

Actually do better running 2 rigs....

Lot's of advantages for us...being able to separate out when we need too...run on big jobs together, but go in from different openings of buildings...

And a big box truck not very easy to get into some of the places we go...

Also, We ran the numbers when we first started doing this...and we found out we were making more money and saving more money in the end....

I know, sounds crazy...and it all started because my daughter needed a job...and we started to run 2 trucks on some larger jobs...and so she could get home earlier....so that is when I started to run numbers to find out what it might be costing me...

We find there were a lot of advantages for us...and that is part of an entire presentation I have that I have done for a few Mikey Fests

 

[Mark Saiger]

Heading out shortly to take on a larger pretty grimy restaurant job...been over 10 months since last cleaning....and cheap olefin....lots of traffic


We are going to test a lot of equipment and chems tonight to....

got to go get going....see you all soon here tonight I am sure

 

[rick imby]

I was thinking more as your second truck to be a full on dual wand machine with a 2 man crew. What you are doing is obviously keeping you busy and financing your new toys.

Luckily you don't have to buy film anymore----not sure your budget would handle that so well..

 

[steamron]

Next time how about a pic of a Saiger snow angel.

They are Bogs Tillamook Bay and yes water proof. We also use smart wool socks.

Winter time gear for us.

Bogs have others that are similar and not rated as cold also

Hey Mark, it was -16C today and knocked off my last 2 jobs for the year. I always think of you when I'm out cleaning in this weather!

There are many days I am wondering how you are doing as well...

Sure hope things are going great for you, and really enjoy seeing you here....

Don't know how many times I was going to just pick up the phone and see how things are going....

You have such a great business and a way of doing business. I am very impressed!

Do you buy them local or order them? How do the sizes run?

Thank You

 

[Jeffrey Tobian]

Carpet cleaning in the winter times really has it's challenges, last year I lost a pressure pump and a heat exchanger and a bunch of little things. but it is sure pretty!!! But I still need to work. I have a box truck and a van I clean with and sometimes I bring both with me to a job if the job is big, Like a big commercial building or a large home maybe 12,000 sq ft. or more. I wish my trucks were pretty likes Marks. I just got a seal a door this year and my customers really like the way I can keep it warm inside their home Now I need to get the one for tall doors

This picture is winter time in Utah

Found our first pair in a neighboring town one year (neighboring being 1.5 hour drive....LOL)

But I liked them so much, I went back and bought a pair for everyone including my brothers...

But, I have not found them locally in a long time...and I do go look to try and shop local first....so I end up getting them on line....

Sizes are good....but only in even sizes. I am a 9.5 size usually, but go to the 10 and they fit and feel very comfortable...I the little extra size makes room for the smart wools, but also, they are still comfortable when wearing a thinner sock too
