Albert I started back in 1992 with a ten gallon PPS portable.
2-2 stage vacs and a 100 psi pump.
My middle management job at a computer disk manufacturing plant was ending due to the company being sold.
I read several success type mags and decided on carpet cleaning.
Those Von shredder ads had me pumped up!
Used to hang out at the local distributors just eavesdropping to pick up tips.
Cleaned apartments and restaurants.
Then the wife took our savings and put it on a demo TM at the local BP.
I bought an old 85 1 ton ford and away I went.
But like alot of the new guys today I under priced myself and added too much wear and tear to my machine doing crap work.
This board is the BEST BOARD, and time will PROVE IT. Its not how many but who is on this board and what we all do for it. We tell manufacturers what we think and if they don't like it well they can GFTS.
