"Can you get ink out of carpet? "

Yes … and in your FB posts about the market

Can you tell I'm being pissy in my Corvette listing?

I'll be in fort Bragg next weekend, would you mind bringing it by so I can see if I fit in it?


I don't want to buy it I've just always been curious.

I'm sure Dwayne wouldn't mind buying you a shrimp cocktail for your trouble.

I asked her what became of this


Went over it three times between a home carpet cleaner and I ended up calling a different cleaning company to come and go over it too. Most of the blue is out, just a light tinge residual in some areas, and there was some red/pink pen that won't come out for anything. I think it's as good as it's gonna get.

So you lost a customer?

So you lost a customer?

I prefer to use the word dodged

These days if I can't practice a new technique, tool, chemical, or process, and enjoy what I'm doing at the same time, I'm not interested in going out.


There's nothing remotely interesting going on in those photos other than a very sloppy family and the unavoidable headache due to the solvent over exposure...

Further:

I have a nice young man (29) who texts me nearly every day with pictures like that one, or otherwise horribly abused furnishings or floors.

When I try to tell him he has a thankless, sisyphean task ahead that will cost more than he can charge and make no one happy, he usually replies:

"Yeah, but I want to try anyway"

Most of you here have long outgrown that stage, but he's only two years into the business, so......

I love it when you use words like Sisyphean

My twin 3 year old grandsons got the carpet in their playroom last week with magic markers. Thank goodness the orange and blue came out with nothing more than Primetime and hot water. The red required a mix of Fels and a spotter that that I can never remember the name of … even though I’ve used it for years.
I feel like Vawter.
It’s a name brand that everyone else can instantly remember. It’s a gold jug with a *********. I think it say super spotter somewhere on it.

Back in my noob days I would have taken on this job. Like many of the 8-hour long urine jobs I used to do. But now, I walk from these. I just don't like being married to jobs anymore. I even turn down most flood work and repairs now.

If I'm feeling nice I may do some upholstery.

Same I look at jobs as beginning middle and an end.

I don't like all day jobs, they never end.

My son and I cleaned 3500 sf of tile and grout and 1500 sf of carpet yesterday. 6 hours on my feet pushing a tile wand. I’m still worn out today. I used to clean that place all by myself over Friday night and all day Saturday.

It’s got your fingers messed up too!

And the call back never ends.
