  Southern Coastal Hurricane Irene looks like a possible Cat 4

August 23, 2011

Batten down the hatches.

MIAMI (AP) — Emergency officials from Florida to the Carolinas were closely watching Irene Tuesday as the first hurricane to seriously threaten the U.S. in three years churned over energizing tropical waters. The storm has already cut a destructive path through the Caribbean.

Forecasters say the hurricane could grow to a monstrous Category 4 storm with winds of more than 131 mph before it's predicted to come ashore this weekend on the U.S. mainland. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami expected Irene to reach Category 3 strength on Tuesday, said spokesman Dennis Feltgen.

Officials could begin issuing watches for parts of the U.S. mainland later in the day. Because the storm is so large, Florida could begin feeling some effects from the storm late Wednesday.

Current government models have the storm's outer bands sweeping Florida late this week before it takes aim at the Carolinas this weekend, though forecasters caution that predictions made days in advance can be off by hundreds of miles. Georgia is also likely to be affected.

  Who Qualifies their customers?

August 19, 2011

This was said in Tampa or somewhere?

 Qualifying a customer??? I dont remember anything after that. The 3 words qualifying a customer. If anywhere I'm thinking AC's class. It sounds like him? I heard that chit somewhere.

 Well I used to ask for a 3rd up front, on biger jobs, where more than a leaf blower was needed. Only 'cause I didnt want to come out of pocket. For the job. That was then.

 What do those 3 words mean to you? Qualifying a customer.

 For me now The 3rd up front qualifies them, that they have money to pay! The balance. LOL!!! Its always less than a 3rd, too. $400 job in gated comunity. My sales rocked, everything in place! I even brushed my teeth that morning! lol!!! She couldnt come of $100 bucks. I shook her hand and wished her luck, lol!!!

Also same day, Called for a roof cleaning.  Black gutters, This whole house need to be done, right! Not just the roof. Went back and forth, This aint pawn stars! Chit! Told her about the deposit, She didnt like that neither! Said I couldnt make her gutter white! This was a WOM. Done 3 other houses on that street! LOL!! WTF!

 I tell her I can do what I say. The deposit qualifies her. And I rode out. She called me at estimate bout 5 miles away. Long story short, After leaving the estimate, i sold it, she called again, made a u turn and sold her.

 Well this seems to be my meaning for it?

 Qualifying Customers

 What else could it mean?

 

  The true meaning of success!!

  My hilarious conversation with a fly by night roof cleaner.

June 1, 2011

Just the other day I was on my way to clean a home for a client and remove rust off the roof.  Entering the backyard I came across a guy that was in and out of the house and I asked him if he lived there.  He was only there to give some estimates on interior work and that the owner would be back shortly.  I never mentioned my intentions because we started to chat about what he does and out of the conversation he told me he did drywall, paint etc.  He looked at the house and said yea I can power wash and clean roofs.  I was curious and I asked how do you clean roofs??  His reply was well it's very easy all you have to do is fire up the power wash and blast off all the black stains.  He then said, but you have to adjust your pressure because you are going to blow off a couple of shingles on average.  That just goes to show you the shingles are not put down properly he told me.  I had to stop him right there and tell him he was wrong and that he would give professional roof cleaners a bad name.  I also informed him he was damaging the roof and to just call me to clean it correctly because I was there to do the work.  He was shocked and was speechless!  Minutes later I hear him on the phone with the home owner saying hey I can power wash and clean roofs too.  Priceless!!!!!!!!!!   In the end home owner agreed with me and loved my work.
