Where is everybody from?

I like it when Lisa's hands glide over my back. She eats weird breakfasts, smiles a lot and is a decent human being. She is the genuine article and I would trust her and her word.  Greenie is a lot like Lisa, very positive,  enthusiastic and a hard worker. He's no whiner, just gets it done and always ready to help out.

Thanks Harry that helps if I ever get to meet them I will be able to tell them apart.

 I grew up in Lloydminister, Alberta, when I was 19 I landed a job with AGT (Alberta Government Telephones) now called telus. 23 years later they wanted to downsize by 5000 employees and I decided it was time to leave.

Did'nt have a clue what I was going to do as I'm a long way from retirement. My carpets needed cleaning and a buddy of mine who used to do property management let me borrow an old Kent portable he had in his basement. Not sure if my carpets were any better after that experience  but I got thinking maybe there was something in the carpet biz for me.

I went to Edmonton and took a CC course through the IICRC and spent a  few days with an awesome CCer in Edmonton. Bought myself a Ninga and no looking back.

 Love the industry and the people in it.

I am from Buffalo, NY.  I am not a CC'er, but I do clean about 100,000 square feet of tile a month.  My main focus is Floor Safety and Marble Restoration.  I am curious how much Tile cleaning goes on in Canada and in other areas of the U.S.

Hi Jim

Welcome to the forum. I will have to get my map out to find were in Alberta Lloydminister is, I never heard of that town. I guess you have to really watch you don't freeze your equipment. I was talking with someone today at Esteam ( The manufacture of Ninja) and she told me it was -45. Now thats cold. How long have you been carpet cleaning? In a province full of Truck Mounts will you be happy for long with your portable?
