Same truckmount, same chems, same wand..

You all do....everyone but me....

It was eye opening one time I sold a truck mount to a guy who was just getting in the business. I did a demo at one of his customers, an insurance shop. He had some experience, mostly with portables. I fired up the tm and showed him some basic wand strokes then let him take over. There was a night and day difference in the areas I cleaned and what he cleaned. Exactly the same tm, wand and chemicals. The only difference was the way it was applied. After many years in the business, you get a feel for how much cleaning solution you are using, how fast you can move the wand, where to speed up or slow down. Experience is always the best teacher if you are willing to learn.

So , you are saying his areas came out better??? LOL!

That's not what your wife says.

 

[Josh]

No issue here Josh, how about you?

We're good here. Everything about a mile around us is a different story. Nothing too bad though.

Tried the mobile thing. Didn't like it.
Besides, I can't. Just put in an orchard. 8' fences, gates, 29 fruit tress. Back breaking work. Love it.
It's my equivalent to your motorcycle hobby.

Tots can't leave. They've been shackled. We are now working on brain washing. We tell them every day how happy they are

Opening a roadside fruit stand?

Good lord that's a lot for a family of five.

We had a late production Nectarine this year.. fruit sugar got really concetrated.. Delish

 

[SamIam]

My neighbors have pride, they just don't have super hero janitor skills.



either do most carpet cleaners that just mopydope their way through their work.

Mopydope or just not anally retentive?

She lies.

I just love gardening. And since it has taken us so long to find our "dream place" and build & since I ain't getting no younger, l just didn't have the patience to wait and do it more slowly as most do. Probably more than I can chew.

Need some impulse control I guess. No fruit stand in my plan.......but who knows. Once you eat a home grown fruit or vegetables its hard to go back to store bought. Even the expensive organic stuff can't compete.

Once they start producing (3-4 years) you'll have to stop by on one of your motorcycle trips, and get some free good fruit.
With your lady killer charm, maybe you can help me open that road stand.

 

[Mikey P]

I'll bring some Depends.


Do you have any idea how much fruit that is?....lmao.

 

[Cleanworks]

Growing up we always had a backyard garden. Coming home from school, we didn't raid the fridge, we raided the garden. Baby carrots, washed off under the hose, fresh peas still in the pod, young lettuce. We had it good.

Fruit trees are a pain in the ass. The bugs and wildlife get most of it.

 

[Mikey P]

Anybody else find it hard to swallow that Canadian kids run home home from school to snack on baby lettuce and peas in a pod?



No wonder they get free health care..

"Same machine....same this and that"....................


If you gave the exact SAME vacuum cleaner to three different individuals, I'd wager that they would use that vacuum cleaner three different ways. Technique, Logic, etc

Thought I'd get this thread back on track.

The most important item going to do a carpet cleaning job is the operator themselves, not the machine.

An anal carpet cleaner will compensate for any deficiencies in his/her equipment to do an outstanding job, even if they only have a portable.

Of course, a truckmount will allow the technician to be more efficient and get the job done sooner.

Hi, my name is Bob, and I am an anal carpet cleaner!

 

[SamIam]

I'm more anal when I watch, then if I'm cleaning.

You ever walk in a room your guys almost done and you start pointing everything out he did wrong?

Hey is that a popcorn kernel? Why is there hair on that baseboard?

Or in Mikes Aunts house a penny?

She didn't pay him, he's like just leave a penny? Hahaha.

I really don't want to work for free!

I do feel some customers strategically place pennies in corners to see if we get those areas or not.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Best mangoes and bananas growing in my back yard and sometimes I plant pineapples....what was this thread about again?

 

[Old Coastie]

We start with the baseboards and work towards the center. And yes, Sam, I think so too; we call them "easter eggs."

Carpets... nah



Fruit is where it's at. Next to the garage where you'll find the lemon tree nearly breaking branches with all the big lemons. and the orange trees around...and the avocado trees....

Any money found on jobs is left on the counter or window sill where it was found.. Rental or not, that's what I was taught..

Beside Bob who has his priorities right.....why does it take old scrawny foreigners with accents to kick some sense into some, here.
Unless you're Canadian. They got it right.

P.S. Mike. In a few years when you come help pick the fruit, please do not show up unless you're wearing your depends. We're much stricter now in CA. I'm gonna have Jimmy check on you

I disagree. All of our equipment has limitations as do we. But I can most definitely clean better now with my WM than I did with my bane. Actually the crb made me a better cleaner to.

The right tool for the right job is huge. Then the right guy running it.

I can't wait until you get the Brush Head...

I'm sure at some point I will get to give one a serious try.

 

[ruff]

Only if you want to be certified organic.

Hell no I throw it at them.
