    Falling Icicle

    Laws vary. What a coincidence that it happened on your property. Many jurisdictions do not impose liability for "Natural accumulation" . Now this issue is what is "natural' Snow falling on a flat surface is natural. Outside of that all sorts of arguments can be made concerning bad design or...

    Help troubleshooting Frag/Vac

    Yes, it could freeze. You could throw the head in a bucket of haot water for a minute or 2 and turn it on - leave it in the bucket. You can also take the white plastic piece oit of the gun - loosen the crews on both sides and push it carefuly from the back with a metal rod. You can then...

    Where are the good techs?

    I thought this figure strange because I know some union guys in Chicago. See: http://www.cata.info/new_4-year_deal_with_unionized_technicians_includes_3-year_pay_freeze/ They were guaranteed over $50k a year ( over $1000 a week for 34 hours work) in 2012. But that doesn't tell the story...

    light show

    Like my dad says when h buys a fishing lure: "I don't know if it will catch fish, but it caught me" . Since my point is somewhat obtuse you simply substitute the wash operator for the Fisherman and the customer for the fish. It is difficult for operators / fisherman to think like the customer...

    Thinking of going CREDIT CARD ONLY @ SS

    I am in your perfect world. I do not count quarters. They are recycled back into the changers. Changer meters are reconciled with Bils in. I need to add quarters. None are taken to the bank . No reason to count them.

    Where are the good techs?

    I tell ying people to find a trade. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC people, carpenters and mechanics. Seems like most young people don't know which end of a screwdriver to use. All part of the do it for me generation. Of course another burgeoning field will be hearing aids needed by all...

    Minimum wage

    Chicago has implemented a 2 stage minimum wage. Effective now. If you have a new contract with the City you must pay a minimum of $13.00. It will be interesting to see what happens when the City vehicle washing contracts come up for renewal. They currently pay $7.00 for a Full service wash...

    Camera Systems

    Chaz, thanks for the info, but I guess now my question is from a user standpoint does the distinction betwen a DVR and NVR have any difference? Is the distinction bluerred because DVRs now connect to a network and NVRs now seem to contain hard drives?

    Camera Systems

    I am really interested in details. You can PM Me. What was dumped. A few bags or a truckload? What was the outcome of the case? What town or city was this in?

    Camera Systems

    Lots of the new DVRs say they are "NVR" or network video recorder. How is this different than one that hooks up to the internet?

    Camera Systems

    Can you hook up a 1080 P camera to a system that typicaly uses 600L cameras? OOPS looks like they use CAt 5 / 6 cables.

    Advertising as a percentage of gross?

    I rank economists and their theories right up there with weathermen and physicists. Really bad at making predictions and really good at explaining why predictions based on their theories were wrong. The titanic was unsinkable, the bumblebee can't fly, a plane crashing into the world trade...

    Advertising as a percentage of gross?

    There is no doubt in my mind that signs are important. However, when it comes to a claim of "ROI" I think the process is little more than voodoo economics. Now, in a case such as yours you could determine if ther was a % increase in extra service sales depending on the message. . However...

    Advertising as a percentage of gross?

    Fair enough I guess. Using the same rationale would ROI on a billboard tend to diminish over time?
