What got you into Pressure Washing? Or Deck work or even Window cleaning?
Also what equipment did you start out with. Or are you still in the start out process just as I am. But did you start out with a small Briggs and Stratton. Or did you get a business loan and go full blast with a new Hot Water system. Or did you work for a pressure washer before you got into it yourself. Was your Setup Used or New. And what year did you start? Stuff like that.
I got the idea about pressure washing from a friend who does lawn care. When I was 15 I wanted to do lawncare. I knew the potential of the money it could make. My friend does lawncare on the side and uses that money for play money. When I was 16 I got a job working for a lawncare company during my summer break. I was paid $6 an hour cash. And I worked my butt off. I usually made about $300 a week. Big money for a teenager. So then I kind of decided I didn't really want to do that. But I was going to continue with it because of the money potential. I quit after about a month. I bought a CD player, some R/C racing car parts and the last of the money I ended up spending at the first strip club I went too. Yes I had a fake.
The friend who had a lawn company went half and half with his dad and bought a pressure washing setup from a guy the father worked with. He was selling it to get a hotwater system. They were both firefighters. Well the father and son never had the time to go full blast into it. So I remember them mentioning it to me. Unfortunately at the time I was undisciplined and never commited.
Well when I got out of HS I did nothing. Then finally they told me they were going to sell the setup and if I wanted it I needed to come up with $600 and they would let me have it. And I would have to pay them $600 more totaling it out to $1,200. Well I got a job and bought the setup and here I am now.
What are your roots?
