My Extensive Collection Part 6

[kirbyloverdan]

I only use it on

Ceramic tile and marble but I can see that happening especially if you over wet the floors by using too much steam .

My best friend has been using a steam mop on his hard wood floors for 5 years and he uses it every other day but goes light on the steam and his floors are still perfect .

These floors were installed here when the house was built in 1986 & still look new. I just take a damp towel to them section at a time then go back over with another towel tied onto a broom to dry them with. We have very little ceramic tile only in the mud room/laundry room & the baths have linoleum. Now the house in Fl had marble & only once did I have to rent a machine with a diamond pad on to re-grind them then polish them which turned out fabulous!!!

Because I did/knew how to! LOL

My friends hard wood

Is from 1936 they were refinished 5 years ago and they are immaculate just vacuuming them then running his Shark steam mop on low they never get saturated where it could cause warping they dry instantly and look like brand new .

Because he does ...

Dan

 

[marks_here]

Because they knew...

"in this business its all about image"

Also Funeral Service in a nutshell

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Exactly Trevor

Every thing must be Top notch and only the best we have an image to uphold its not like we are judging a stupid competition we are professionals

Truer words have never been spoken. Funeral and real estate are similar, like you said nothing but the best,thats why they use Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler, some even use Mercedes vehicles in funerals.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Trevor We are very similar

You have no idea how many funerals I have been to and wound up listing my friends or loved ones home we survive off each other I belive . Plus I send my clients to my local favorite funeral home when a loved one passes .

Nothing but the best cars to drive to show a home or take you home

If I wasn't so sensitive I would love to be in the Funeral business but I think I'd be crying too much

I have it in my will that if I pass I only want to ride in the back of my Mercedes SUV that's what I want and my friends at the Funeral Parlor know that and will honor my last wishes .

[kirbyloverdan]

Wow this is very

Impressive I just received a call from Shark to check in on my new vacuum the sent me as a replacement .

It's an ok vacuum but this extra special treatment goes a long way and more companies should practice this kind of customer service .

They asked me two questions after seeing I was pleased with the way I was treated as a valuable customer .

1. What I liked most about Shark I said customer service .

2. What I liked least about shark I said machine needs to be multi cyclonic instead of single .

Dan

 

[marcusprit]

Yes needs to be multi cyclonic and to be able to change the belt and brushroll instead of having to buy the complete floorhead.
Nice innovative machine though. Well worth the money.

Had a new roof

New Gutters with Guttergard for no more cleaning ever and a skylight installed now you know I just had to buy a brand new XSP craftsman shop vac to clean up the mess .

12 gallons and extra powerful 5.5 peak horsepower the most powerful shop vac according to Sears

Dan

Those gutter guards work great Dan, especially if you have a lot of roof & trees!

[marks_here]

Oh lord I know all too well about those pine needles, they make great mulch but that's about that...lol I've got those plus oak, cedar, hemlock, a red maple & one other that I can't think of but those acorns...not being hit on the head with them but slipping on them & going down the hill in the front yard! I was LOLing as I was sliding down the front yard... I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I'm 2 sandwiches short of a picnic!!

 

[gsheen]

I like that Craftsman vacuum. It must annoy them and every other brand out there that they are referred to as Shopvacs. Kind of like Hoover

 

[kirbyloverdan]

lol I'm sure Gareth

In the box they call it a wet and dry vac because they can't use the shop vac name but that's basically what I've called them for years I can see other countries calling vacuuming hoovering surprised that never caught on in the US .

I find the Sears craftsman hold up better and last the longest I used to buy shop vac but they would burn up after a few uses after 3 of those I will never buy another SV .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Yeah Mark

Those worthless pine needles and all the pollen in the spring everything turns yellow it's a mess living in the woods .

Ouch hope it didn't hurt much lol Id be cracking up too .

I'm not the youngest one here in the retirement community of FFG but I sure do try to keep the comedy going & sometimes it's at my expense!!

Well you sure

Seem like you're the life of the neighborhood/party

Party... Yeth... Not me the life of

I have to look for "the party flag". This is a cool idea we came up with ...someone puts a party flag out in their yard with time & date which everyone is invited to in the neighbourhood. So far it's been a hit in this small area.. byob or whatever for 2 hours where we catch up on what each of us has been doing/going & it's never boring as I only missed 1 as I was too tired after a 6 mile hike in the mountains.
