Hi everyone, My name is Eddie Bell and I am 47 years old, I have been a welder since 1984. I currently TIG weld aluminum fuel tanks for Damiler Benz North America ( Freightliner) I have been pressure washing part time since 1991 and about 6 years ago I started installing restaurant hoods and doing restaurant fire suppression, which led me into the wonderful world of hood cleaning. I have learned a lot and I take pride in doing a good job. I enjoy dealing with the owner operators of the small time restaurants in my area and since I am a part timer I respect the Hoodcleaners in my area that do good work and have recently given some of my accounts away. I just keep enough work to have my play money. I install about 4 hood systems a year and do about 2-5 hoodcleanings a month and maybe 10 houses a year. When I bought my rig I started doing 5 Mcdonalds and 4 Chick-fil-a's every month until I paid it off. That was a little more than I could handle when my welding job picked up so I gave those jobs to a friend. I look foward to getting to know you guys and hope I can contribute some of what I have learned while learning from ya'll. Most of the hoods I clean, I also installed. I have 1 Hotsy 20 hp skid 1270ss and an older 16hp 1260. I plan to keep the 1260 and sell the 1270ss and the trailer. I just don't need all this equipment. I originally bought it because I thought I was going to go full time when our plant went to Mexico but some of our jobs went but, thankfully there are some companies that want there trucks built in te U.S. BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS I don't want to have to compete with you guys everyday! lol.
