We were all over the place yesterday. Wilderness....and only one van as other van in body shop then going to wrap.

Assumed the first job was just 3 cabins and would be small....WRONG!

2200 sq feet of carpet later! Set us behind all day, but when you have that kind of job first thing of the day....get's you moving!

Owned by Graco company....this is a resort for their employees....it is free for them. These cabins house 20 to 32 people in each cabin :eekk: Bring your family and friends I guess....

And they just built a new one this year.

Employees names are put into a drawing (not everyone wants to be part of the drawing) and people who have been in past couple of years have more of a first choice I guess.

Company pays to stock the lake with Walleye also...moving all 2 stroke motors to 4 strokes, new Lund fishing boats on site...they take care of this place and want their employees to have an amazing experience....most cabins built in the 1920's.....

You might know the Graco name if you have had kids.

Pretty cool and really cool that the company cares about their employees...some people working there over 45 years we are told...

We are going to be back next year to take care of all the other cabins....this is at the end of a road on a peninsula...no one else around, very private....

Did they move all the furnishings for you?

Mark at this point to you totally buy in that the Zippers are cleaning as well as a 175 scrub or Roto'vacing in THAT situation?

Furniture was all moved too :)

Zipper will not outclean for us in certain situations what an RE can do....There is definitely a place for the Rotovac 360 XL for us

But in cases like this, we can get buy with a CRB scrub and Zipper....

Actually, this carpet was all commercial carpet on a pad....so it was pretty easy....

Don't know if we would have gained much more with the RE on this particular carpet, but another place we had after this, we definitely needed the Rotovac!

We didn't take pics, but were kicking ourselves that we should have....

Trashed poly and it came out WAY better than any of us thought it would....

Every tool has it's place, and we need every tool I feel that we have on the vans....

Now I see why the Graco stuff is overpriced.... They've got to pay for all that...
