I mentioned on my facebook today that I was doing a few house washes. One of my friends is a newspaper reporter and she picked up on it. She met me at a customer's house [they were ok with it] and interviewed me. She took pics of my rig and me working. She was real impressed with the methods we use to not only clean roofs but houses and fences etc. I schooled her on exactly what the streaks were and the potential damage they can cause. I also explained to her the cons of pressure as well as eased her concerns about potential enviromental and health hazards. She writes good stories and I am hoping this gets the word out about NON-PRESSURE cleaning as it is not common here [yet ][I am very ambitiotus]. I hope to get a few calls from it. [maybe even a few for you Brian] as the paper is distributed throughout my county and into Delaware and Chester County Pa. I'm super excited!

I am still waiting for my news article to come out, It was scheduled for Monday the 5th but I called on Monday and he said he did not have the room so he scheduled it for next Monday April 12th front page of the Business section it is cold and raining this week so I am glad it did not come out after all... I will post it when I get it!
Hey Bill and Bob. The article should be in a general news section. She kinda controls the paper. She writes most of the stories in it. The paper is not run by a huge company, and is locally controlled. If it is not in this section, i won't sweat it as the paper is usually only like 10 or so pages. You could look on any page and not be able to miss content because it is also printed on a smaller paper. it always has great photots [some black and white and some color] and it's weekly so it'll stick around. It is sold at pretty much all local stores and sells out. We'll see how it goes. Ill be sure to send u a copy.

okay so i was wrong. the paper is 22 pages. my article got printed on page 12. thats good though because all of the front page articles are continued on that page. it has a picture of me and my rig. the article is basic. it tells how i got the idea, how i learned, and what services i perform. it also makes sure it emphasizes non pressure. im happy, the writer did a great job! Bill, i'll send u a copy.
