    Price for FedEx Trucks??

    Bridget I've been trying to get ahold of you to ask you a few questions about the fed ex trucks. I tried both 800-451-8684 and 616-676-1963 and both numbers aren't active. Is there another way to reach you? thanks!

    streaks on aluminum siding??

    if anybody has ANY ideas please post them, the lady wants me to go back tomorrow and I don't have any ideas of how to fix it other than my previous one (brushing it with the same chemical and rinsing immediately) or if you've experienced this before on other types of siding let me know as well.
