VACUUM BEFORE CLEANING

Steamer has been in La La land for a long time now....... It is hard to find time to vacuum houses when you are used to doing 6 drivebys a day like he does. Between pushing the wand and arguing posts on this board, I am surprised he has time enough to eat and maintain his 250 lb figure!

I guess with are both living in a dream world aren't we now Kenny

haha respect? yeah right, goes two ways

and yeah I do have a truck filled with gear including vacs, t/mounts, portables, air movers, dehums, rotary shampooers, orbital machines, too much to bother listing here and yeah, I paid someone to teach me about the technicalities of the job six years after starting in the industry full time (does that mean I was already a total professional in your eyes Mr Steamer??) and have honed my skills in the 14 years hence... but I guess in Steamed-up's eyes that would mean diddly squat other than an opportunity to sl*g off again cos I was stupid enough to need an education...

... and why he feels the need to sl*g me off I'm not really sure! As I said, your choice which way you go, I choose to do my jobs 150% i.e. above my customer's expectations whereas others choose to do the basics. Your market, your call, but don't confuse your place in the marketplace with being the best methods known to the industry just cos that's the way you happen to do it. sl*gging someone off is just a way of hiding your insecurities, otherwise we'd be sharing ideas instead of verbal punches over something as lame as the Internet where we'd never meet face-to-face!

And do I know it all? Nope, can't say I do, I keep learning new stuff all the time, keeps me interested in my work and at least a little motivated, can anyone say they have a total grip on every facet of the industry?

Sure glad Mr. Steamer never became a dentist but I sure hope he gets a dentist who thinks like him.  Imagine, never getting your teeth cleaned because the dentist says if he tells you to brush before you come in that is enough. 

That's good sh*t. 

Or the construction company that skips on code requirements - oh yeah, there are tons of those experienced professionals.  I forgot.

Oh, I get it.  Steamer send in a flunky who works for him to vacuum, somebody on his payroll.

Frankly, never thought much of Canadians either.  Do stay on your side of the border, eh?  We will send you all the illegals you want and then the ones we want you to have.  Kinda sucks to be you kanuks.

We are all from different parts of the world anyways Duckboy...

Mike how long have you been in business and how many different company names do you operate under? (duck something?, baby something and what a 3rd one too and only in tha biz less than 5 years???)
