RE: What will you be working on?

Kleen Roof and Exterior Cleaning · Dec 5, 2012

Go for a skeeter or a champion. I ran both, like the ride much better than the ranger or cat. But, that was a few years ago.

Hey I wanna improve my rig too. That is what the end of the day at the NOVA is going to be about.

I plan to buy another open trailer, Much longer than what I got now. Build it my self. This be my commercial rig. My own water supply, 500 gallons. Hot water and 10 gpm.

Same 12 volt I got going now.

See how that does. Room to upgrade.

With 10 gpm I can push 2 20 inches.

Dave,

Obviously a bass angler. FLW or Bass? Are you a KVD fan?

my new project is that i've vowed to take up duck hunting again. it used to be a passion of mine 15 years ago. One of my crew took me last week, and I realized how much I missed it, so I got my old boat back from a friend and began building an engine.

Found a "Thai mud motor" kit on line. It uses a Honda GX 390 (have two or three of those sitting around the shop.) Can't wait to get this thing up and running and go murder Daffy!

I'm looking for a box truck this winter for a new setup and I'll be working on systems for following up and tracking my marketing better.

How do you plan on tracking your marketing?

Roof Cleaning Severna Park MD · guest

By using codes on ads where possible. When customers respond to the ad, they'll have to give the code to reference the ad before getting the deal, then I'll track on a spreadsheet. Besides that, I'll ask how they heard about us, google, referral, facebook, etc.

Another goal is to build a gutter guard display complete with running water that we can set up no effort. Not only can we mount it on the bed of the truck but leave it unattended near storefronts/businesses/shows/flea markets.

I'll then get caught up on some trout fishing, wrench on a vintage sports car I picked up recently, then it's back to business with major expansion plans for the rest of the off season.

Ted,
Take some time off and go fishing. It works wonders for me. I still haven't sold the Astro with the 135hp Mercury. Once that gets sold and I have enough money I'm going for either a Ranger or Bass Cat with 225 or 250hp. It might take me to the end of 2013 but that's my goal.

Hank - no doubt, fishing is medicinal.... I just sold the boat tonight to this guy that is shipping it to Russia?! Cash in hand, and his shipper will be here early next week. I truly HATE to sell it, but it sat ALL season in 2012. And you're not looking to buy a fishing boat - at 225 or 250 HP, that's more like a drag boat!

Damn I'll miss boat, but the new toy needs the garage space....

I was looking into a solar panel, if the battery is dead at the end of the day and you don't drive far and the next you don't drive far to work it wouldn't charge the battery up the whole way. So I was thinking about a panel so it would charge all the time.

I think there are some guys that have used the solar panel, I remember seeing it on AC's board. I would ask around to see how the charge works. If you have a box truck or trailer I think its an OK idea. In my case I have the ladders above the roof.

Also if the battery is ever low with hooking it up to the truck, all you need to do is turn the truck on, and sit in the AC, or Heat for a little bit, depending on the time of year.

Sweet looking boat Hank!

Dan, check out this link that offers a very sound option for charging. Sadly, the OP of that thread, Fred, is no longer with us.

Got my first cold weather project completed... Three days ago that engine was a pressure washer.

Apex Roof Cleaning · Guest

Thanks, Ted

That looks perfect.

I'm hooked up that way, Danny. I paid a local shop $100.00 to wire it up. I run a delevan 5850. It's been great. Haven't even looked at my battery all year!
