Born and raised in Coldwater MI, but moved to Murray KY in 1969 at the beginning of my senior year.  Married Theresa and raised five great kids and a few foster kids. Now have six grandbabies from SC to TN to TX.

 

Run a little 2-1/2 truck operation for 34 years here, still the same phone number.

 

I've been around the bulletin boards for over six years, but this is my first post here.

 

Thanks,

Lee

Very noticable going down the road. They will know or recognize it from
miles away as Lee's Van. That's a good thing!

I see you have your next generation carpet cleaner with you.

That's my oldest son, Jeremy with his son Keegan.  I have four sons, a daughter, and as of now six grandkids.  Keegan is now almost 12 and is an excellent spotter and installer's helper. Three trucks identical, and a "plain wrapper" white one.

 

Thanks for asking, the young'ns are all the joy of my life, as are grandkids everywhere I guess.

I grew up in eastern North Carolina but now live here in Indianapolis. Put myself thru college bartending and graduated with my MBA in communications. After college I started working for IBM and absolutely hated it. I finished my year contract withthem and went back to bartending. Hurricane Floyd hit the coast and totally destroyed everything I owned. I had a friend of mine ask me to come up to Indy to visit. Really liked the place and NO HURRICANES!! So I ended up moving here. Didn't know anything about the carpet business. Bought myself a ninja protable and a Rotovac, took all the IICRC classes I could get my hands on and started cleaning. That's my story.

hi, I live in Australia, Brisbane, Started carpet cleaning last October and love it.  I started house cleaning 15 months ago, and didnt like the job carpet cleaners were doing in the area, so decided to give it a go....the bank actually gave me money and i lease a van and a portable.  Somehow the business is paying for itself and me an income.  I have just dropped back to a 5 day week, ohh and i dont mind doing lounges either.... .....lol ,  Figure another 12 months and i should be able change from 30% carpet cleaning to 100% and the cleaning can go....Carpet cleaning is more fun. 

I have had great support from prochem in brisbane, and I do as many courses as I can afford. 

I still have trouble with rust stains/timber and urine stains...??? others say they can get out the first two easy.. I must be applying wrong any suggestions would be great...

Thanks
