NO POWER ?? READ ON.............

I thought I would post this so that maybe it may help somebody one dark night.

With summer approaching and the storms it might bring, (in some areas
substitute CYCLONES / HURRICANES), I thought this could be a really
useful hint.

Cheers

Shorty

Last week, a storm rolled through our neighborhood and a huge silky-oak
tree came down on some power lines, creating a power outage for a large
area around us. We lost power for about 5 hours. We were scrambling
around in the darkness, looking for matches, candles, flashlights, etc.

Being somewhat used to this happening, we have torches scattered throughout the house during cyclone season.

But it's not that time of year............ yet.


Then we looked outside and noticed our solar lights shining brightly all around our patio, stairs, deck, etc.

They were beautiful.

Delia went outside and brought several of the solar lights into the
house. We stuck the solar light pipes into plastic drink bottles
containers and they made the nicest, brightest, safest, lighting you
could ever imagine. We put one in the bathroom, the kitchen, the living
room, etc. and there was plenty of light.

There are all types of solar lights available. We bought ours at Bunnings.

We put them all around our yard. They look nice and they do not attract flying bugs like the outdoor lights around our doorway.

The lights we have fit easily into the small (20 oz) water bottles and
they also fit into most of the larger litre bottles. If you need a
weight in the plastic bottle to keep them from tipping over, just put a
few of the pretty colorful "flat marbles" that are used in aquariums and
vases or you can also use sand, aquarium gravel or whatever you have
available.

The lights we have were perfect inside our home. They burn all night long, if you need them.

The next day, you just take your solar lights back outside and they will
instantly recharge and be ready for you to use again any time you need
them. They are perfect for power outages, etc.

Stay safe,

Shorty.


PS:: Now, I've got two empty fruit salad cans, after cleaning and drying them, I glued some foam rubber on the inside.

On the outside, I stuck some contact adhesive "pretty paper".

These two cans go over the lights which we take into our bedroom when there's a blackout.

When we have to get up for a call of nature , we rip-off the can and Hey Presto, we have light.

No more tripping over things in the dark, or flat batteries in the torches.

Professional Help Method Explanation Needed















Could someone please explain the "professional help method" as listed in the label below:











I figure someone with the smarts like: Lisa, Nathan, Ken, Randy, etc;
these people know about rugs, they wear rubber gum boots, (wellies and try to walk on water many times a day.

Who is John 119 ??

Many of you clean commercial carpet and I am getting ready to make a big push in the next few months in this area. I wanted your opinion as to which machine would give me the best results cleaning commercial carpet. I am looking for a comparison between: Trinity OP machine, a 300 rpm buffer , or a Cimex. If you could explain why you think the machine you are suggesting works the best , it would help me out a lot. Thank you, Mike

Rick would probably have seen these on his trip "up north" a couple of years ago.

Cane toads were introduced into Australia in 1935 in an attempt
to control pest beetles in the sugar cane industry.

They were unsuccessful
in their control efforts, but very successful at invading the ecosystems
of Australia’s north.

Cane toads were originally released
in Gordonvale in Queensland, but have spread west and south to now
cover 1/3 of Australia.

Gordonvale is a small suburb about five miles south of my place.

Here's a couple of light-hearted skits about them.

Enjoy............

Just received confirmation I just scored my first decent commercial job on an ongoing basis and I am stoked.

A 90 room hotel that will have all rooms & common areas scheduled for 3 cleans each a year. The job will be done twice a month in banks of approx 10 rooms per clean + common areas worked into that on a rotating basis. I will be encapping using releasit with extraction once a year.

Looks like I will need to save even harder to expediate that Cimex purchase.

I really owe a debt of gratitude to you guys for helping me out so much even when you didn't know it (by reading so much info you generously provide).

A huge thanks to Rick & Brenda for helping me with the CMS and the challenges I faced with downloading it. I know the CMS was one of my big points of difference & the professionalism it provided was a real winner. I'll contact you tomorrow to organize fixing that up as well as the bank has only just today refunded me. You guys are a real credit to the industry.

A big shout out to Shorty as well for advising me to purchase it. Great advice as always.

That beer is going down so much better tonight.

Cheers

Another non carpet related thread.

Finally worked out how to place an avatar on this forum. (Doh) !!!

It's actually my trouble 'n strife of thirty years, Del, and I.

We celebrated her 60th birthday last week, and last Friday, we did a trip up to Kuranda via Skyrail and back down in Gold Class on the Kuranda train.

Absolutely fantastic trip, (especially when the hostie insisted I consume a full bottle of a beautiful Shiraz Cabernet. All included in the price which was a gift to Del.

Anyhow, back to the avatar, I'm the wun with the shiny chrome dome.

It must be becasue I'm drinking it out of a Releasit coffee mug that was sent to me as a thank you for my Cimex purchase. It's so nice to come across a company that hasn't forgotten how to say thank you.
And to the Excellent Supply team, I say "thank you" for the thank you package you sent. You folks truly are excellent at what you do.
And, if there's anyone lurking here who hasn't decided who to purchase your Cimex or encap supplies from, let there be no doubt, these folks are THE BEST in the biz!!
