I was going to guess an army base. Sounds like something I spent a week and a half bidding out. That one was close to 1,200,000 and was going to be a month long process. They would totally empty the buildings so we could get in and clean. Last I heard we got the bid, but the cleaning wasn't for another 5 months.

Good luck Ron.

We are finally finished and back at home. I want to give a big thaks to Warren for including me on this project. It was a killer. We cleaned alot of carpet in 16 days with outstanding results, I have to give a big shout out to les for the modifier on a short rush and his defoamer.... a nother great product from Les.

if only I could get those dam bars in my truck! I must say we learned a lot on this trip
I am sick of cubicles, went to the chiroprator and had a massage today back at it tomorrow.
We couldn't have done it without the 02 system that stuff is the best. Thanks to Ron and his
two guy's very hard workers.

Did you clean the dividers?

I did a decent size job like that at the first of the year. The money was good, but it sucked.

How did you knock them out?

No. It was tile and a bunch of dividers that we dual wanded. It was a pita because I don't have the best hand tools.
