I've decided to semi-retire and sell my surplus equipment. If anyone is interested, I have an 1100 gallon self-contained dual axle KK emulsion/chopped glass rig for sale in excellent condition, at 50% less than new price. Comes with approximately 1800 ga>>>
Thanks, Tim. I appreciate that.>>>
Kold King will provide free training to whomever buys JSC's rig, and if you do it soon, we will also throw in our Fast Start Marketing Package which includes: * 500 color "Roof Leaks?" postcards * 500 mailng labels for Real Estate Mgrs in your area * P>>>
We'll see, egg. I know I could get fired right back up again under the right circumstances. It really isn't about money any more, other than staring down that portion of fixed overhead that you just can't eliminate.>>>
I semi-retire every night. Then again, I semi rejoin the workforce in the morning. Very often either way I go it's like getting hit by a semi. Sometimes at a gain, sometimes at a loss semi.
Can you let it go JSC, or is it too in your blood? So far,>>>
Thanks Mike. I haven't quite reconciled it with myself yet and it's hard to completely let it go. We've only gotten about 5" of rain in the last two years combined and we don't get tornadoes, hurricanes, hail or snow here, so commercial reroofing has>>>
May your semi-retirement be more than semi-fulfilling. :)>>>
To the above I would like to add a little sales jewel that I got from Tim at KK: If you are selling the identical #2 lead pencils as fifteen of your competitors, you are going to have a very hard time getting much more money than the dumbest one of the bu>>>
The prep work naturally varies by job, but in general I would say 50% to 90% of your labor will be prep work before beginning the spray. Had to replace a few panels on the R-panel jobs first, and did a considerable amount of structural work underneath the>>>
$5.00 a square foot for spraying. Not too bad. How much prep work was there?>>>
I should mention that the only topcoat the KK sprays is alum emulsion. You need a separate airless for the others.>>>
I failed to mention that the only coating the KK rig sprays is the aluminized emulsions. You need a separate airless to spray the other coatings.>>>
Rig was bought new from Kold King in Dec 05. Job sizes: 60, 180, 300, and a 10 sq. basement wp job. Profit of course depends on your selling price, but all the above jobs netted at least 50% or more, but I was the working foreman on the crew. Total selli>>>

There is a delay. But they definitely fell into the void or they would have made it. I had the same problem. I think if I take a long time creating a post, something bad happens. Just a hunch based on my small personal exp. with the restructured site.>>>
Don't know what's happening, but I've lost two long repies to OS's questions when I punched "submit" Is there a delay for them to show up or ????>>>
