  Lines in carpet from Cimex and bogging issues?
Posted by: bonedrycarpet - 12-02-2013, 06:58 AM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (8)

Got a 15 inch Cimex from Excellent supply! Great as always to work with. UPS lost Cimex somehow and Excellent Supply sent me a new one 2 day air!

When I cleaned some carpet the other night at a college dorm, it left lines (see pics) in the carpet that I could not get out. No idea what it was... I used Encap DS, pre vacuumed, used hot water, mixed 5 ounces per gallon, and overlapped 3 inches each pass. I used the white brushes for commercial. Any ideas?

Also, machine is really bogging down on me when I start it. It helps if I lift the head up-is this normal?

  "Up the elevator" commercial jobs
Posted by: FloorCareMD - 12-01-2013, 11:07 PM - Forum: GENERAL DISCUSSION - Replies (14)

Got a nice commercial carpet job on the third floor (10,000ft2) of an office building.
Got my price too because the truckmount guys couldn't do it.
Look for the businesses on upper floors, do the demo.

By the way, WHY DO Doctors call their place of business a "PRACTICE"?? Big Grin

Now, I don't get the U.S. television stations on my tv, but I wonder if yours are similar.

Around lunch-time, on each and every free to air channel, we get a continuous burst of repeat advertisements.

They start off with:

A multitude of fast food ads such as McDonalds, Hungry Jacks, Pizza's and every other junk food you can think of.

This is generally followed by various ads extolling the virtues of getting healthy and losing all that weight with the aid of:

Twister, Bowflex, Treadmills, Weight lift machines, Pilates machines, Total Gym, and the body twisting, knee busting super torturous jump exercises, etc;

Then there are all the "miracle" diet pills that will rip the weight off quicker than you can get Mrs Brown's feline urine out of the carpet.

Last comes the final steps:

Insurance companies: Have you planned your funeral?? Don't let your family pay your last bill??



Crikey, I never knew there were so many different insurance companies spruiking for my business.

But hang about, can anyone else see the common denominator here??



You stuff yourself full of junk food.

Then you break the bank by purchasing exercise equipment that breaks your body, but wait, there's more, if you order in the next 33 minutes, you'll get the new upgraded version that'll also save you postage and get a free set of steak knives.


Then you need to enter the funeral plan to plant you because you've gotten so obese on the junk food, dislocated various bones, muscles and other parts in your body from the non working exercise machines, and had to give up work because of the above.

'cept; you don't have any money left after buying all that tucker and good health gear.

Oh my gawd, what next??????

I know, the pension'll save me. Big Grin


Maybe I should join o'b's fund. Blush

So here I am, it's getting late 07:07, & I nearly forgot.

lets say your dong a modest low sells of about 5k a month just you as a owner and operator, with not marketing at all other than a thank you card and a reminder care every year... so if that company decided to put up $2k a month in marketing.. what are the chances that company would up its sells 5k ... in other words go from 5k to 10k

  Funny night - NOT CC

I posted this on the Oz forum, thought I might give a couple of you a laugh also.




Had a funny one last night. (Sunday).



Came out of the Casino & found this kid tagging cars.



So me mate & I grabbed him and ripped his clothes off except for his jox.






We then emptied his spray paint cans all over him and then let him go.





We did give him his wallet, keys, backpack, etc; but not his (now empty) cans, nor his shoes and clothes.





He was a sight to behold, very pretty rainbow coloured kid as he skulked down the street looking very sheepish.



I wonder if he'll do that again.?



Hope the coppers don't read this.




Someone on Shorty's computer. Big Grin


PS:: Me mate used to be a lightweight boxer in his day whereas I used to be a fairly solid street bluer.

Moral of the story??


Don't mess with old guys, especially after a few pints of Guinness and full of Dutch courage. Tongue

Am I naturally a suspicious person, (there's an opening for some smarty ;-) ).

Or am I something like Mel Gibson and hold thoughts of conspiracy theories??

(Mel was actually born in New York, NOT Australia as many believe).

Reason for this post ??

Has anyone noticed the sudden influx of a few members that have no name, merely an alias, and a few short lines??

Now I'm not saying that they're not legit, I'm not the smartest cane toad in the dog's water bowl, I know that, but it just seems a bit strange when out of the blue, these similar posts turn up.

Ah well, guess I better get ready, the trouble 'n strife'll be home soon, then it's off to the Reef Casino for karaoke night.




'n a few cold Guinness's. Wink
