What the hell is your problem? You're throwing our names around and trash talking a fellow wood pro on here? What's up with that?
Beth
Beth and Rod,
It is great to have the two of you here at the RCIA. You have done allot for the cleaning industry, and I look
forward to seeing more of your posts here.
I don't know the history with Carolina Pro Wash, Gudder Dogs, and See Dirt Run, but I asked Mike to handle any issues via Phone or PM, not in the forum area.
Just out of curiousity "Why is rica allowing this garbage on this site .....Everybody knows what this guy is doing He's posting on all three boards using google and seo to ruin and destroy the other guys business and the chance to provide for is family.
I'm waiting for the guy to wake up and and ruin clearshines business in a matter of a couple hours.
you guys always post how hard it is to be number 1 on the first page.....Seo and rankings can be destoyed in seconds

I find some of this quite humorous, especially your answer David. So its ok to do something illegal IF its to provide for your family? Why not just go into the bank robbing business than, after all, we are only trying to provide for our families.
For all you newbies out there, just look through this thread and find the people that are ok with someone being a thief and liar, and go get pics off of their website. After all, its all ok according to them....
The damage is done but you knew this when you posted stolen ...on all three boards and when he responds by trashing your business and you show up number 1 ...what did you accomplish ?
They are as welcome here as you and me. Hell I remember when you first started posting on forums. Your post were butchered with poor spelling and silly questions. You have learned and come along way. You came to this forum and have past me with # of post. But I don't comment on every post made or show video of helicopters flying around. You clean gutters! You did not know a damn thing about roofs until a short time ago. You have a little bit of equipment and a little experience and you go against these people. They have more knowledge in their profession than we will ever have.
Yea I remember those days! I dont remember you, Yall were cruel!!! lol!!! My marketing isnt the same as everyone else, and the name Gutterdogs isnt either.
The helicopters: the thing is you remember that? ..Hmmmm? Pretty good for branding maybe??? Also you remember a couple years back the name Gutterdogs and what was taking place with me at TGS. lol!!! What questions were stupid, BTW?
I have learned alot, now I'm helping other dudes, that are new. I'm giving back.
Post on every thread? Sir I'm on the phone with another member and there talking about something I missed. This happens alot. :)
Whats wrong with cleaning gutters??? Are you knocking that? It's getting me through the winter and something I've been doing for over 5 years now? I bet I can do it faster, more efficient, and charge more than you can!!! lol!!!
I've been washing about 4 - 4 1/2 years now. Started changing how I washed about midway of that.
Before I came here I was using hydroxide to clean roofs. This RCIA method is faster, safer and just plain better. What do you call "a short time"?
Also Yes they have alot of knowledge, that I'll never have, some of it wont need. Their specialty is wood. Being that, and in a thread they posted on. There was bad advice posted and they didnt correct that person. Some newbie comes in here and reads that, goes out and doesnt rinse the brightener off, then tries to seal it? I'm just saying???? Them being an "authority" on wood and to let that pass by? They also bashed a friend of mine, asking about wood. Reminiscent of how I was treated for asking stupid questions, back in the "day".
Does being an authority, or just having a bigger trailer, give someone the right to act like that?
I think when you position yourself as an authority on something. You post on a thread with bad advice on it, and just let it go by... dont say anything? That's kinda cruddy. I believe there is a higher responsability.
Your complaining because of a gutter scrub pic? :)
I consider myself pretty good now. Not a rookie anymore. Trying to figure the ropes out, this politicin' stuff, lol!!!
When I seen someone post not effective methods for cleaning gutters I'd correct them. Help them. The same with anything I've learned.
Are we here to help each other? or to get link juice.
Sorry for stealing your thread.
OK, now back to your rant about your lil gutter scrub pic.
If you read the post I said silly questions not stupid. What I remember about the helicopters was. What a total waste of a mans time. making a video that had nothing to do with your business and brought nothing to the table. I thought that was kind of --------------- .
The damage is done but you knew this when you posted stolen ...on all three boards and when he responds by trashing your business and you show up number 1 ...what did you accomplish ?
David, you are correct, I did know EXACTALLY what I was doing and I am accomplishing it quite effectively. Would you put up with someone stealing your car? I think not. But here is the kicker, the picture is mine and I have had it STOLEN from me and a thief is a thief, no matter what it is. Doug Black STOLE my picture and is arrogant about not taking it down. He is stealing it, and I have every right to call him out on it and take legal action against him (which I am doing now). I think if someone is willing to steal something that is not theirs and break the law and they are defiant and arrogant about it, they deserve every bit of retailiation that they get. I am not ruining Doug Black's buisness, Doug Black is. I gave him an opportunity to cease and desist the picture before I posted it everywhere, and his response was and still is to me was that it was his picture.
Again, David, If you are ok with people stealing, that just shows your true character....and before you say "it's just a picture", it is MY picture to get upset about and MY picture to call someone out on if they steal it. A thief is a thief. What if it was something of sentimental value to you but isnt to someone else, is it ok if they come and take it from you....after all, its something small.....
Spring has aleady gotten here for us this week....we have been buried! This is our best week we have ever done in our 18 years in business....Were going to have an AWESOME year!!!
What the hell is your problem? You're throwing our names around and trash talking a fellow wood pro on here? What's up with that?
Beth
Hey Beth! Sorry but you have to read everything, and I'm talking about another thread. 2 acctually. I would never say anything negative about See Dirt Run. Anything bigger than a small deck, I give them your phone #.
Best wishes to all!!! - Mike
EDIT: From now on I'll be handling things like this over the phone.

I was wondering what you guys would do. I have a guy that has stolen my gutter pic off of me and is using it on his website. Those of you who know me, know it is my pic. I have even let Bob from Pressure Tek use it for the F-13 pic. You can even find it on my websitewww.clearshineclean.com/gutter-cleaning.html or go on Pressure tek and see it. Anyways, I found it on a guy's website and sent him an email telling him he needed to take it down ASAP and if he wanted to buy it, we could discuss that. His reply to my email was "Lol. No, that picture is my own." I have had this pic for several years and have other angles and pictures of this job to prove it, but yet this clown thinks it's his somehow. I called him this morning and left him a message and he hasnt called me back.
