UPDATE on Harper & Co.
I placed my 2nd order yesterday afternoon and it was delivered today, along with another free 275g Schutz tote. I’m told they have a huge surplus of these totes free to customers. SO, if you’re operating in the Hampton Roads area, you may never need to pay for another tote.
Your getting a tote for free? What’s wrong with them chem in it ?
I order from same supplier. Nothing wrong with the chem. Super fresh. @Racer Would love to shadow you for a day if you’re open to it. I do most of my work in the Yorktown and Williamsburg and west area. In other words I don’t see us as direct competition if that’s an issue for you. Lemme know what you think.
I’ll pay shipping for a tote if it’s still cheaper than the cost of it lol
Competition not a problem for me. I help people all around me. Wish you’d said something earlier. Tomorrow will be day 19 since I’ve had a day off including weekends. I could have used you. I’m hoping it slows down, but let me know. But you’ve been doing it for a couple of years, probably not going to learn too much that you don’t already know.
@Racer That’s great you’re staying so busy. If I remember correctly, you do window cleaning right? Thinking of breaking into that this coming season. Would love to see your setup in action
Not me. I don’t even clean my own windows. Stay focused
I DO! Tried to get @Racer to join the fray by sending him a squeegee and mop a couple of years ago. I’ll bet that scoundrel hasn’t used it once!
You can lead a horse to water…
If you’d like to shadow me, that appeals to me little. NOW, if you’d like to get involved and likely freeze your nuts off cleaning with me in February, I’m all in. Call me: nothing says “commitment to success” like pressure washing in February, @softworks.
I’ve got it all put away in a nice tote. I can’t afford the pay cut I’d take washing windows. Saving that for when I get really old, lol.
I can hook you up with hypochlorite bleach without a commercial address. The trucking companies I use might charge a residential fee but they will deliver. Just depends if you want to store them at your residence.
I was able to get all worked out! Just pumped the drum into my tanks this morning. Thanks for the offer though!
Are you already washing this year?
As long as the weather is warm enough yes
Wow. Not much of that lately. And it’s about to get really cold.
Are you winterizing each time?
I store the trailer in my garage! No need to winterize. As long as the temps for the whole day are above 35 and people want service, I’ll be out!
It’s supposed to snow this week and then stay under freezing for all of next week but I’ll play it by ear
I have mine in my garage too but it’s getting down to 1F this Sunday. I’m not sure my insulated garage will be above 32F.
Space heater it.
With a truck, a car, and a trailer in there, its pretty full and heats it up pretty well. It’s usually constantly 45-55 even when it’s 10 degrees outside.
I don’t run it in the winter so it’s worth the peace of mind to winterize it.
When the temp starts getting below 25F, I throw a heater out there if I’m still working the end of the season or starting the new one.
But all it takes is forgetting to close the garage door one night to have a really bad next day. I’ve got kids and it happens more often than I’d like.
