The Hicks house burns last night (Big Bear Cleaning)

[Billy]

That's great Billy, congrats!

Will you be helping Audra?

Yes after I heal completely we have some ideas but I don't think I'll be a realtor at this point at least.

I'm helping Christopher more & catching up on other projects.

 

[Mikey P]

Heal?

From?

 

[Billy]

Heal?

From?

I actually fell off the side of the truck pretty hard on concrete. Bloody wounds, Ribs, wrist, elbow, back etc..... But I'm healing just slowly because I keep agrivateing my injuries. Hard to just rest for me.

 

[Mikey P]

What?

How did that happen?

 

[Billy]

What?

How did that happen?

I was cleaning out solution tanks & I fail somehow getting down. Audra said when she came out & saw me flat on ground holding my left side she thought I had a heart attack. It scared her pretty bad.

Our website has our farewell & our new Ventures & will stay up for the foreseeable future.

 

[Mikey P]

Can you elaborate?

 

[BLewis]

Hey Billy good luck to your family in your new endeavors. I must say I was shocked when you told me this awhile back. But, I know you will do well in whatever you choose to pursue

 

[Billy]

Our son has become quite the programmer geek so we Decided to invest in him.

Basically it is for most anything web technology based. He has worked on some individual / company projects but most will be our ideas.

BoxInvy is one soon to be released project for inventory which we have been working on for a few years but after our fire we decided it was needed sooner than later.

We built BuySellFindIt also which is active but we haven't had time to truly work on it until now.

So far no plans for anything related to floor care.

Thanks it was good talking to you & catching up. We are just going to try to have fun building on new Ventures.

Has Audra got any deals in the works?

 

[Billy]

Has Audra got any deals in the works?

Yes she is working on some buyers agent stuff as well as one fairly big commercial deal but no listing of her own yet since she is just starting out & she is still Filling her days with tons of education beyond required because she wants to be as knowledgeable as possible for her clients. Her broker is a longtime friend that is helping her learn the ins & outs of realty. She had a broker before even starting her schooling. She kept it very quiet until she passed her licensing. We told no one accept her broker.

We know it will take time & more Financial investment than already invested. It will help that she has lots of personal & business contacts though.

Big Bear Tech World is making a few dollars also now.

We didn't expect the BigBearTruck to sell so quickly but it did so we didn't have much time to shut down & even had to rush to do our own homes carpets, stone, tile, upholstery etc....

All in all we are very happy with our new paths even knowing it is once again starting over just like last year after fire took most of our possessions.

 

[Mikey P]

You sure have had an eventful life so far..

 

[Billy]

You sure have had an eventful life so far..

Yes you could say that but everything has just made us more determined, motivated, stronger etc.....to persevere.

We now just want to help Christopher achieve his goals & have a good rest of our life while we are at it. The fire in a way helped us realize it was time for more changes than just our possessions.

But on the bright side we have a very nicely furnished new home & are are daily working on replacing all that we lost. We live in a Leave it to Beaver neighborhood which is something we always wanted. Oh & we have redundant fire protection now as well as a full inventory of everything down to socks .

We learned some valuable lessons Insurance companies don't like to pay & we must pick agents that truly listen to us & understand our needs.

Life definitely is an adventure.

 

[Mikey P]

Were you able to sell your client list?

 

[Billy]

Were you able to sell your client list?

Didn't try to since our clients are used to us & how we do things. We didn't want to be tied to helping someone retain our clients either.

Also Audra plans on using our clients as potential future clients in realty.

 

[The Wizard]

Billy, I wish you and your family much happiness and succcess. You and your family are great people !!!!!

 

[Able 1]

Thanks Wizard!

 

[Billy]

Sorry, for your loss!!

What caused the fire?

The fire was thought to have been caused by a electric wall adapter.

 

[Mikey P]

You never posted when you actually cleaned carpet...lol



You should get a church bus and a 370 and clean for beer money.

 

[steve_64]

Might as well get a portable if he's only going to clean for beer money

 

[Mikey P]

Billys no hack there bainboy..

 

[steve_64]

So you're calling all potty users hacks? I figured he could make it work for him.

 

[Mikey P]

not if they use a REBH

 

[FB7777]

Were you able to sell your client list?

How much can you get for 6 names on the back of a napkin?

 

[steve_64]

One beer...maybe

 

[Billy]

Everyone is so funny yet somehow with our 6 names on a napkin we managed to live pretty well & also own a AEROTECH aka The Big Bear Truck which we sold very fast for what we wanted.

As for cleaning we are done, don't even want to clean our own but may have to now & then. Strongest drink for us is Green Tea. Retirement is busy though Audras already working on deals faster than her broker was ready for & all of us are working on Big Bear Tech World.

We have always been goal oriented though even if our ideas don't conform to others. Above all family first.


Either way guys it's been fun most of the time chatting, bickering etc..... Y'all are welcome to keep making fun of us though. I'll check in every now & then since this board never sends notifications on new post.

P.S. Mikey

We cleaned no less than one job a month
