Well it's been 4 yrs since I was here last, been up to plenty. Moved from British Columbia out West, to out East Nova Scotia in late 2004.
In 2005 I didn't do anything with my business, I went to work for Hostess/Frito Lay (potato chips). 2006 I had 5 customers not bad for an outsider. 2007 I had 34 customers, oh I went to work for the local hardware out in the yard where plenty of home owners & Contractors come, and I get to talk about the business. Also I wanted to know about starting another business. Well this year I started out with a project at Midas Auto Service new owners, Hot washed a totally empty building out and cleaned by hand light fixtures old oil off.
$50/hr pressure washing = 16.5 hrs and $20/hr labour = 25 hrs.
My new business is Debris & Junk Removal which I've had 2 customers I'm still getting projects through the 1st customers. The 1st customer is a distributor of garbage cans & will have me on a wash program which is great. biggest customer to date is Wal Mart this year I'll be washing the shopping carts per hr along with the front entrance. I also wash the trucks at work once a month. I'll be on the boards more when I can.
It'd be great to email/talk with other contractors
