Was overbooked on Thursday so I took my son who is 16 years old.
He has not been out since he was 14 and then I had him help with the hoses. He is in high school and does crew as a sport which is pretty much a year round sport. He said he did not want to just move hoses as he was felt he was under valued. Well it was a 4 story hotel and we were to do all the halls. Okay I said we will at the top and work our way down. He did a great job on the Zipper and I found it easy to train him on. I trained and moved hoses until the second floor then we switched. I think he has a new appreciation for the amout of work we do as carpet cleaners. I have a new helper when I can grab him and maybe a college job if he gives up rowing.

I work with my son 2 weekends a year and he really works his ass off, of course I still kick his ass.

He worked his ass off too. As I think about it the sight tube in the Zipper helped in training, detail about cleaning and what it takes but
also confidence in the work from my end, The clear tube 12 inches from the carpet does not lie. While the Hoss has one it is not for the weekend warrior
in training. Once again thanks again Erik.
