What business would you be in if not this one, not just would bussiness would you be in but would you work for some else? Would you change careers?

As well what were the things that you did for a living previous to pressure washing.

Whay makes you stay in this bussiness?



Before I was in this business I was a land developer but that went bust when a giant company we were building for went under. before that I was a contract administer and project developer for a branch of the government. Before that I was a heavy shipment operator in the good weather, and cooked when I couldn't get any work. I drove a lowboy for a few years here and there running around the country moving the really big stuff from heavy construction equipment or moving transformers or what ever else was just oo big for a normal move.
 
I love working out side all year.
After being stuck in a Printing factory for 25years. With one small dirty window to see what the weather is doing, alot of times I would go to work when its raining and to hear how beautiful the day was. I just thought it was a crapy day. Thank you Lord those days are gone.

Now I love these sunny days if fl.

Also it is great to hear from customers how clean eveything is. Its great to leave knowing that it looks brand new again and happy customers.

What keeps me going is my family and God

I would go into AC coil cleaning
 
Pilot

I would go back to driving airboats. Nothing like sitting in the marsh with no shade at 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity.:thumbup:

I think I would be an agriculture sprayer pilot. I always wanted to fly and swooping down on the fields would be so cool. You know I might just start to get my pilots license!

My neighbor owns 3 airplane crop dusters and a helicopter crop duster (Bell 47). The is not much money left for him afer the huge overhead bills of commercial avaiation insurance and liability insurance. Also the cost per hour for the planes is really high. After 9/11/2001 he had to actually get a government clearance to continue what he has been doing for 22 years:jester:
Amazingly his only injusty was he flew the plane to NC to meet his family on the Outer Banks and was biking from the airport to the house and was run over by a drunk driver that sidlined him for 11 months.

Pay may suck for some pilots, but not all. Airline pilots do well for themselves. My dad is a Captain, and does very well. He is also an FAA Examiner, sometimes doing two checkrides a day on his days off, $1000 a day is not doing too bad.

I would either be a pilot, or stay in business for myself doing something I really enjoy. Since I'm a Cali boy, I'd love to have an indoor wave pool/fun zone with food, video games, etc. LOTS of money to start.

Also looking into the Maui Wowi franchise (or create my own), love the theme. That would be a while down the road though.
 
I still run my electronics company, but trying to close it down. Burned out! But I would like to run a hunting / fishing lodge.
