This is Under Pressure, a podcast where we dive into the untold stories of entrepreneurs and business owners who have conquered adversity to achieve greatness. And now, here's your host, Nic Staton.

Welcome to another episode of the under pressure show. I'm your host, Nic Staton. We got Camden on here again this morning. Uh, if you don't mind explaining to everybody a little bit about, uh, this new trailer build and stuff like that, that you've got going on.

Nic Staton

Um, so it's pretty, uh, top notch. Um, corrosion is one of the things we're trying to. remediate on it.

Camden Mattison 

Um, and it's not those special boards or something like that.

Nic Staton

So I have a family member that is in the plastics industry. And so he builds, he, he knows everything about plastic. I mean, the guy's like a wizard at that stuff. Um, but I have these boards that are 10 feet long, like 48 inches wide that are completely one inch thick plastic. And, uh, it's over $10,000 in plastic that I just got for free because they were going to throw it away.

Literally. Did you have it molded to like a certain way or something?

So it's laminate. So there's like little individual little layers of plastic and then I melt it together. And then that's how it's made. It's the same. Um, it's a similar product compared to tracks. It's used in the medical field a lot.

Did y'all turn them into boards or are they just going to be, is it going to be like a solid piece?

Just a big sheet, no boards at all.

So you just got to cut it out and get it to fit inside of where, where the boards would fit on the trailer? Yeah, pretty much.

Um, and so after we do that a hundred gallon, uh, SH tank, Um, on this rig and then we're doing, I downstream solely. I don't, we don't, no, we don't do anything else. I mean, we saw a designated pump or anything like that. I have a designated pump for like housewashing or anything like that. But like we downstream everything. So like for housewashing, um, you know, post-treating that sort of thing, we downstream it. So we use the DS Pro and the Flow Pro combined, and that is probably the most efficient way I have found to wash.

So you're not batch mixing. You got it all on like proportioners and stuff.

Yeah, it's all yeah, all on a proportioner.

So it's pretty much just like this is like turn the bleach on and turn the soap on. No, no dialing in because it doesn't really matter because it all comes out of a certain thing anyways, right?

Yeah, pretty much. You don't have to. I mean, you can meter it a little bit, but it's just there to like.

You know what you should look into? You should look into Kyle Davis, the Davison shooter tip guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's making a new injector for the downstream into where it will actually go up to, I think, like six percent, just like a designated pump where you can wash roofs and everything with the pressure washer.

That's pretty cool. But we're going to run to a gallon a minute. I run eight. They're just they're more versatile on the residential side of things. I feel like if you get up into the higher gallons a minute. I do, but like I've had, I've, I've built a lot of trailers for friends. Like I've had, you know, I've gone in and built trailers with friends and for downstreaming, it's just, it's not efficient with a 10 for, in my opinion. And so, um, there's just like, You've got, there's a lot of stuff you've got to upgrade on a 10 to be able to downstream because of the, the way it works, the Venturi effect, but I could be wrong and whatnot. And I haven't messed with them a bunch, but I like eights. So it is what it is. But there's also like, the thing is when you go up in higher gallons per minute, if you get around, like if you're trying to cut in around a gutter, or whatnot on a house, like say on a driveway, you start blowing a lot more mulch out or pine straw or whatever. So I guess I clean with 17. Yeah, but I'm not a god like you said.

I clean with 17 on flat surfaces and then the mow flows 14 gallons per minute.

Yeah, but we'll probably. Oh, yeah. On this rig, so it's two eights. The only reason why we're doing two eights is I'm getting your Curbinator from Mike. Nice. So when we get that, um, it'll be pretty much good to go. So I can side knees it. I'm going to get a side knees block and then run it into that. And then it's all going to be linexed. Everything's going to be. Rhino lined or line next to whatever you want to call it. White to match the company colors and then probably put a tank light in there and then that'll probably be it for this trailer.

So two eights, a hundred gallon bleach tank. What type of water tank? Like 500 gallons, 600? 525. 525. And then you're sizing those two together. Yeah, just occasional harass when you want to clean curbs and stuff. Yeah, and then push down parking lots. You actually have a little bit more. Yeah, pretty much 16 gallons per minute would be pretty sweet because I'm using a finance. I'm using the two tens. You can actually adjust the ball valve to where you can actually have power to wear on mine on the 17. It has to be wide open. So if you turn around and pull that ball valve back just a little bit, it's going to bog the motor down.

Yeah. We're going to go with a 17. Well, like the thing is like, I don't have a lot of situations where I can just use it.

Cause like house, house water doesn't focus on just like houses mostly don't you. And then like, you'll pick up big old HOA driveways and stuff like that, where you've got like 30 and 60 driveways and stuff.

And some, I like to, we, we focus on like HOA and commercial. We're just breaking into commercial. I mean, I've done a lot of small commercial, but I'm trying, I'm pushing to be towards the bigger commercial stuff. So that's something else we can talk about here in a second. But this rig has a degreaser tank, a soap tank, and a, what other tank? The bleach? A neutral bleach, neutral bleach. Okay. So with the DS Pro, I can pretty much just flick a valve open and I can have whatever soap I want. If we're roof washing and we're neutralizing around shrubs and whatnot, NutriBleach. If we're doing like a Chick-fil-A or something like that, we can spray degreaser at the doors. I make my own degreaser. I don't go and buy it. Just degreaser I make myself. It's super easy. And then what else do we do? Oh, and then with house washing soap, I can meter that down quite a lot so it lasts a lot longer. But I buy all my soaps in bulk. I buy NutriBleach and 55-gallon drums. I buy Baja Blast, which is a pina colada soap. Um, which is really cool. It smells really good. Um, I bought out in bulk and yeah, it's pretty good. I mean, do you run the orange gun on the hour 45 or your mo flow?

We're on them on both of them. The water boss guns.

Yeah. I love those things. I'm trying to kill mine.

I've had the same one for two years. Yeah. I've had pretty much messed up at all.

Ever since Bill came out with that gun and I saw that video of him using it, I was like, I met him at the huge convention a couple of years ago. Uh, was he a, I don't think he was there this year. No, he wasn't. Oh, commercial work. Let's start. Let's start talking about that.

So what are you trying to get into in commercial work?

Parking garage is pretty much the same thing you're doing. I got you. But we've got this one, we work with this property, he's not a property manager, he's more like a contractor. At first I thought he was a property manager for like 10 properties. But we've got this parking garage down in Sandy Springs and it's over a million square feet, has nine levels. It has 125,000 square feet on the top deck or something like that. And so they just want the top deck done, but it's super moldy and nasty and whatnot. And so we've got to go in there and reclaim it all. And I'm going to either pump it to the sanitary sewer on the building, or I'm going to pump it into this wooded area right next to the place. But we're trying to come up with a price for it. It's probably going to take us a day or two to do.

A lot of the parking garages are very competitive and very cheap. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of people out there that are super cheap when it comes to doing those parking garages. Kind of a hit or miss. Well, several bids this year on parking garages and lost a lot of them. And the ones that hit, we actually make some money off of.

Yeah. Yeah.

We don't, we just don't know what different ball game, but I'm actually going to be going after more, more parking garages as well too, because now that we actually can fit inside of there.

Um, yeah, I mean, for you, it's a no brainer.

Yeah. That was the main reason why I had that truck re revamped. Cause there were several garages that I would have won that had no choice, but to turn down or not do, and probably going to go back and hit them up and let them know that now we can.

Yeah, we, um, I can fit in there with our F-350. I don't like how it follows me, like when I do like little movements. But like with my F-350 and the tandem axle, it fits barely, but I got to cut the ladder rack off, which it sucks, but it is what it is.

Oh, you got a ladder rack on the back of the truck?

On the trailer, I do. On the trailer? But it's not like one of those ones. You know what I don't like is a lot of people have those ladder racks on trailers that are huge and that are connected to all four corners of the trailer. Right. So you're trying to go into a parking garage, you got to cut the whole entire thing down to get in there. But mine just has two like Ys or whatever. And it's super easy to just take it off compared to like that kind of style.

On the new trailer, I would just make it where it's removable. That's what I'm going to do. Take some bolts out or whatever and fucking put it in and take it off whenever you don't need it and need it. Because I mean, if you want to do a parking garage, you don't need a ladder. No.

But we're going to reclaim it. That one that we're talking about doing and. It'll be pretty fun. We got a they're very so we're the guys that they called after the last guys fucked up.

So find out why they why they didn't want the last guys or what they did wrong.

So apparently all the water for the building goes into a basin. There's an oil separator, there's a bunch of little filters in there, and then it gets pumped out into the retention pond. And so, basically, they screwed up the filters or something like that.

Allowing water to get down in there.

Yeah. And so they screwed up the filters and the drop down from the top regardless.

Right. Because the parking garages are not fully sealed in the middle and no, no, no matter what. Really? Yeah, that's why I want to go into them and you use chemicals and stuff like that and say that you're washing from the top floor when you're coming down. You're going to have where you're going to run across somewhere throughout that floor and then it's going to see water down to the next floor and say that there was cars up underneath there and you're using chemicals. chemicals are going to splash on the cars and you would never even know it really until you got down there and then you could potentially be ruined paint and all kinds of shit. So that might be a factor that they have inside of there. So I would be checking into that as well. Not just trying to damn it up because I mean, damn is going to help. But at the same time, say that you're damming it up, but then you're causing a flood into an area and all that water could seep down into the cracks because everywhere throughout that parking garage, there's a crack somewhere to another section.

Yeah, that like kind of big rubbery expansion joint that's like this wide.

Yeah, and it can be up against the wall and then it goes all the way across the whole lane or whatever. So like when you're driving up, you go over a little little little section and go to another section. They're not solid pieces all the way up. Does that make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense. I know what you mean.

So I would I would really look into that as well, too, and walk through that whole parking garage and make sure that that's not going to be a factor to where you're, you know, you're taking the precautions that you are. But I would also just let them know, hey, these are these are things that we can't. Do that is we can't seal up all of this shit to make it to where there's not at least some water coming down, but we can stop the flood by doing what you actually want, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. So we'll, uh, we'll probably look at that too at this point. And then we'll probably every single drain we're going to tape off and, uh, probably just do it in large sections.

Yeah. We'll probably do 20,000, 10,000, 15,000 square foot sections.

And then. Rinse and then you know go from there, but it's just the top deck. That's what looks the worst right now so That's what they're worried about. I'm sure they're gonna want to do this in phases.

That's it's so big which I don't really mind but That's you go by the fucking zero turn your feet and I'll hurt I

Uh, we're actually thinking about it, but, um, we're, there's this other guy that makes this zero term that I can run at 17 gallons a minute.

And they all make them. It just depends on what pan you get.

Yeah.

Mike makes them where they run at 17 as well, too. It's just, you can only have a four foot pan. You can't have the six foot pan. The only way that I have the six foot pan is because I run at 34, but I also can run 37 when I hooked up with 37. Good Lord. That motherfucker scoots. Yeah, I'm sure Richard was like, is it good? I'm like, shit, this motherfucker flying.

That's funny. But, uh, but yeah, um.

You're definitely something like that or or a huge ass surface cleaner. You're not going to want some little ass surface cleaner if you're going to be pushing it.

Well, we were thinking about pushing 228 inch big guys and I was like, I don't know, man, you're gonna want something like a hippo. Yeah. I mean, I, the thing is I can't justify ever spending that much money on a service.

I have a buddy that's actually got a huge ass one for sale. I think it's a 36 inch.

Yeah.

Uh, he only wants like, I think 700 bucks for it. I could probably hit him back up and see if, see if he still has it. If you're, if you want it, it's just like the big guy, but it's a lot bigger.

Is it the, is it a Maxima or whatever? Yeah. Whisper wash. Yeah, um, but yeah, I don't know probably not on that. We're looking to go to the zero turn So we might I might just hit up Mike and be like, can you sell me one of your zero turns with? A four-foot deck on it or something like that

Yeah. I mean, the four foot is going to be fine. I'm eventually going to end up buying a four foot deck as well, too, because at the same time, you know, you got sidewalks that you want to go clean.

Yeah. I mean, that's our big thing right now is like, I know there's money to be made on HOAs and whatnot, but the issue is we're not efficient at it quite yet at doing them. Like we're not efficient enough to where it makes it super justifiable to go out there and keep going after them. So like this last HOA project we were on.

Yeah, you said it was only going to take you a couple of days. It seemed like it took you like a lot more than a day or two.

So what happened was, is they had a sinkhole. Let's talk about that. That's fun. Yeah. So, so, so we go in there, we start washing, right? We get down there, we start at the top of the hill, start at the top, and we're working our way down. And so we get up there and we start washing. Day one goes by great, get a lot done, exactly what I wanted to happen. Day two comes around, we get a lot done, everything exactly how I wanted got done. At that point, we were probably right at the halfway point of getting done. And so then we go and start going down from the entrance down. And apparently all the water we were spraying into the storm system filled up a giant 15 foot wide hole underground. And, uh, which they had had a sinkhole there and the home builders were fixing it. And basically we made it worse. So I had to come back a week later and wrap up is what, what happened. Yeah.

I mean, we couldn't work until they were pressure washing their driveways and the water goes down in the storm drain and it causes a sinkhole.

Yeah.

Well, the thing is, is that it wasn't done trying to blame that they try to get you to fucking pay for the fucking sink. Oh, they already had the problem.

They already had the problem. But no one told me about it. Like I saw this pile of dirt at the end of this, this street. And I was like, it's probably just because they're doing something for landscaping or whatnot. And, uh, And, you know, I keep going and this guy was like, hey, man, you really need to stop that right now. And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, you're filling up my hole with water. And I was like, shoot. Damn, I told one pack stuff up, we're going back to the shop.

Yeah. So that turned into a shit show, didn't get done in the time frame that you actually it didn't get a lot more.

You know, I swear.

The most amount of money you get these HOAs, HOAs a lot of times don't don't aren't really big tickets. It's how you make money is going in and knocking them out fast.

Yeah. I mean, the thing is that so we got it on a yearly contract now, so we're coming in every year and doing it. I have it signed off to do it. Next. Next October, not not October. end of August next year. So we're good to go on that part. But they've also got these patios in the back, which I hate doing. I hate dragging 200 feet of hose and washing four patios and then going back around and doing driveways. It's the most pain in the butt thing in the world. But they make us do it. But we can Generally doing pretty quickly, you know, make a lot of money. It doesn't make sense to go out there for $40 a driveway, but like when you're pushing it, when you're doing four and an hour, I mean, it makes sense at the end of the day to do them.

I don't think I'd ever clean a driveway for $40.

I mean, one car driveway.

I don't know even if it was in like a fucking large massive mountain. That's all those fucking people were out of my damn way and I could just fucking fly through them.

I mean, that's that's kind of how it was for us.

It'd have to have like be like homeowners, not home. I parked on one place. I start filling up and I just take that zero turn and won't won't won't go to the next one. Won't won't won't.

Yeah, but you'd also have to cut in and do all that stuff and. Yeah, I mean you could do the zero turn that would definitely be sweet but they had this weird curb too and I was like we had to Like like if you use the curbinator on it, you wouldn't be able to I mean it wouldn't clean it It's like this weird, like, like, I don't know how to explain it. It's just like a really weird curb. I've never seen it in my life.

Yeah. On the curbinator, you can actually put different, uh, attachments on there. So like, say that the curb is not up and over like a, like a, I guess like a box and it's more flat with like a little hump over it. then you can get like a flat pan, like a regular surface cleaner that you would have, and you can tap that on the arm, and then just rub that across. I've seen them do that in some places, because not everybody has those box curves. A lot of times you have where it's just the tops and the sides and asphalt. So what I like about the carbonator is you can turn the bottom off and then just have the top and the side cleaning where it's not even touching the asphalt at all.

That's cool. I didn't know that. Yeah. But, um, but yeah, zero turn is coming our way soon. So we'll probably. I don't know. I'll probably get with you about the curb when you get your push carbonator. Yeah. So we can just save money on freight and then I can just pick it up from you or we can just split the freight or whatever and get everything sent here if you want. Yeah, we could do that. I just you just got to let me know when you're ordering yours and I'll order mine.

It's almost ready. You might want to go ahead and order it so you can put it all together. Because I mean my I'll be ready here soon here in a week or two and I'll call Mike. Yeah, I would go ahead and do that. What? You got anything big to finish up the year?

Big not really. I mean, we're just. It's weird, we've been doing so many, like, HOA projects right now. Y'all still busy? I mean, we're busy, yeah, I mean. Like residential is we had a low in August where there wasn't a lot of residential, but now we're, I mean, we're fine.

We're week and a half booked out, so I can't complain, but you're going to finish out the year, staying busy all year round, or are you going to end up plateauing out at some point?

It's hard to say.

With the commercial accounts that go all year round, don't you?

Yeah, I did. I still have commercial. but I'm kind of taking this time. The time, if we do have a lull, like where we're not working at all, I'm taking the time to go build this trailer. So, but we still have commercial, like, you know, we still service Chick-fil-A's and we still do that sort of thing. No matter if it's 20 degrees out or 80 degrees out, we wash them. So, but, but you can get one time. It's a funny story. I, uh, I washed this Chick-fil-A at nine o'clock at night last January, and it completely froze over the drive-thru. So it was like an isocating rink. And the guy calls me, he was like, Hey man, did you, uh, by chance, wash or Chick-fil-A last night? Like, yeah. And he was like, well, it's an ice skating rink. So.

Would that have to do go out there and put salt everywhere?

Yeah, pretty much. Which it's really, when you turn. the heat on on the burner. The only time I turn the heat on on the burner is like when it's cold out, just so my hands aren't freezing. That's the only reason why I do. It's like having hand warmers. And so, but it melts the ice if it's, if it's, uh, you know, really cold out and it does a really good job at oven. But then it freezes right after as soon as it gets chilled. Yeah, then it freezes and then they're,

umbrella screw as it goes down that it goes down in the parking lot probably super thin and then the cold weather hits it and fucking instantly turns it nice.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know how it got super icy because when you know how concrete looks when it's like halfway dry. Yeah, like it's kind of like what kind of dry ish. That's what it looked like when I left and And it, I don't know how it froze. That's the thing. It's like, that's still, I don't know if water came up out of the concrete and froze like frost or something like that. It was, it was just, I don't know. It was just weird. But, but, um, we still do chick-fil-a's and that's my main dig. Chick-fil-a's.

They're never really went after restaurants. The only restaurant I have is a Texas roadhouse.

Yeah. Well, that's, they're still a good company to work for running off of that one chick or that one Texas roadhouse.

They just don't give them a big enough budget. I think their budget's like only 24 or $2,800 a year for cleanings and stuff like that. And it's like the roof cleaning pretty much wipes out that alone. So the guy has to pull money from other, other things to get things cleaned. And his main focuses that he even wants cleaned is really, is just the sidewalks for people walk. And then, um, the roof because the roof gets destroyed by those fucking hoods. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't really want to ever get into hood cleaning. That's not something I really want to get into.

Now, we're actually getting into hood cleaning. I backed out of that whole whole ordeal. I just got a trailer now set up and end up utilizing it for probably resident. Now, I'm going to use it for residential and fucking treatments. You still got to where, you know, you still need hot water time to time.

Yeah, we're I've got this eight gallon a minute pressure pro hot water unit on this tandem axle. And we're going to move that over to a single axle with a 300 gallon tank.

I don't really like fucking hot hot boxes, man. They're fucking so big of footprints.

Yeah, I don't. I mean, that's the only problem with them is that they're so footprint is so fucking big.

And we took that shit off the truck. We were like, oh, my God.

You've got so much room.

Yeah, dude. Now we've got like fucking plenty of room. We got a 17 on there, two tens and the AR 45 and there's still room to get on there and move around. And before it was like we had the AR 45, a 10 gallon and the eight gallon hot box. And that was it. And you couldn't even get on that damn thing if you tried.

Yeah. How do you like my content? You like my videos?

Yeah. So you're getting better at it.

Yeah, I am consistent with it.

Don't don't don't stop. Keep making all kinds of videos about all different kinds of things.

Yeah, I got to find my. I don't know it's it's I don't know if you ever had this issue with it at first, but like I feel like it's weird to do it.

Well, it is weird. It's always going to feel weird. It doesn't matter what it is. I mean, even when I make videos, I still feel weird. And then when I got the guys around doing stuff and I'm over here recording while they're fucking working and that just fucking is so weird to me. And I'm like, I don't know about this in my head. And then you got Richard and fucking Patrick over there going, whoo.

Exactly.

Like, I don't know, like, you know, whatever, man, because at the end of the day, what you think in your head is perfect is not is not ideal for for everybody. You just kind of just just make the videos. And another thing, people that comment and people that like it and all of that. Most of them are never, ever going to purchase anything from you. It's going to be the people that just see it and just want to call you and do business with you because they see you're being authentic. And they see the work that you're doing. So then automatically they start liking you. And then once they start seeing who you are, then they start trusting you. So that's how I pick up a lot of work is because of just me posting the things that I do and just being myself. So if you can continue doing that and just zone in on that, you'll be really well, it'll take time though.

Yeah, we, uh,

I've been playing around with it, but, um, so you've been playing with the cap cut and the captions and all of that stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. I bought, when I got cap cut, I, uh, I immediately bought the elite version or whatever it is, the pro version, the pro. And then that's just so like, you know, like I don't have to have their cap cut like thing on there and then.

Well, you still even though you have the pro thing or whatever at the end of it, you still have to go delete that out.

Yeah, that's the only sucky part is like sometimes I forget to do that.

Yeah, you want to delete that out because anytime that that's on their Facebook doesn't like for you to post anything that's going to direct somebody else off of their platform. So even when you're making posts or whatever, don't be putting websites and shit like that into your post, because once again, they don't want to, they don't want you to direct them off of, off of the platform. So that's why I put a lot of that in the comments and stuff. I'll explain to you in the post to go down to the comments and that's where all the links will be. Yeah. Like when I was posting certain things and had certain things on there, it wouldn't fucking pick up shit, especially with Tik TOK.

Hmm interesting we uh What was it I had a bunch of people telling me how to wash yesterday on the video I made I did a time lapse on a it's better to have people fucking arguing with you. I mean, listen, they were arguing with me, but they were arguing with other people in the comments.

How it happens is they get on there and then they comment and say something and then somebody else sees it and then they start chiming in and then they go back and forth with each other. And you're like, hell yeah, this is cool. I'm like, this is, this is interesting, but it's entertainment and the more entertainment that they make it, the better that that post will actually get out.

Yeah. And then Eddie goes ahead and comments on it. Um, you know, Eddie, my sales manager, um, Eddie goes and comments on it and, uh, He asked the question, what tips do you run on a 28 inch big guy? And like Eddie's still learning all this. I know a lot more than Eddie in the washing world of things, equipment wise. He knows more about sales than me, which is fine, I don't care. But he still wants to learn the washing world of it. And so he asked the question, what tips to run? I think he got some stupid response from this guy. And, uh, Chase was on it and some other guy I've never heard of in my life.

Chase will be going back and forth with people. I've noticed ever, ever since you said the thing about the post or whatever, he'll just get on there. Just a bullshit with people, man. He just gets on there to start shit. So I commented on his thing or whatever. And I was like, someone's bored. So, you know, literally that dude, I think he just gets bored and just fucking gets on those group pages and, and, and starls up some fucking bullshit.

So yeah, didn't he post that one? What did he post the other day?

He posted something that pissed off about how, how he went out there and did a job for so cheap and everybody fucking started fucking. Oh, that's just a motherfucker. There's fucking ruined in the industry.

He was like, you know, a five, a one gallon sprayer of SH and a rag and this house looking brand new and everyone was in there and for $50 and he was like, you're the, and everyone was commenting, you're the reason why this industry sucks. And, um, yeah, I remember that. That was pretty funny. People are very gullible, especially the older generation of people.

They don't have any common sense really.

No, but, um, but yeah, we're, uh, we're trying to, I'm, I'm pushing the whole entire, I've got to get my drone working. Um, I got to get new batteries for it.

What drone do you got?

Uh, the mini pro DJ. And then, um, I want to get, so I have this DJI, gimbal and it's really nice when I go like I just used it yesterday to record a time-lapse which is sweet and all and it does what it you know it does the majority of things I want but I need a gimbal that like follows me around you know what I mean you know like this camera's following me around right now I need something like that.

I'm sure they've got them out there.

Yeah I just gotta do my research I just gotta do my research and find one

But, um, I use my iPhone for just about everything.

Same.

I mean, I probably should have got the bigger storage on my phone, but I've got 40,000 fucking pictures and probably 8,000 or 10,000 fucking videos.

Yeah. We, uh, I keep getting this notification upgrade your iCloud storage. I'm like, no.

Yeah, I went with the 250 gig and then I'm still... That's what I know. Yeah? Yeah. It's 250 gig. I haven't maxed it out yet. With everything that I have. No, I got the 2 terabyte. And I've used 940 gigabytes.

Yeah. It's starting to get cold, isn't it, son?

Yeah, the weather's starting to drop. Yeah, I'm telling my house. I wake up in the mornings and I'm like, shit, it's cold in my house now when I normally would wake up and fucking feel great because of the weather outside being warm.

Yeah, deer deer season just opened. So, you know, you're going to come hunt. I am. I'm going to as soon as I when I go to my dad's, I'll I'll stop by for sure.

I need to ride the mower down that way and cut a trail out so that you're not walking through fucking briars the whole way down.

I've been doing this.

I haven't been down there in a couple of years to that stand. Zip tie. I mean, not another zip tie, but, uh, another, uh, fucking strap around it so that it hangs to the tree better. Cause that strap that's on there might not be the best.

Cause I'll just, I'll just hang my saddle up. Okay. Sorry about that. All right. Well, I hung out of a, uh, I looked like Robin Hood in the tree story.

Well, there's plenty of trees, plenty of big ass pine trees for all that.

All right. And then, um, And then I'll shoot you a deer and you can have it.

I just want some jerky.

You can get whatever you want. How many pounds of jerky you want? You want like 50 pounds? That's like over $3,000 in jerky. That's a lot.

There's a lot of fucking deer around here.

A lot. Yeah, that's that's that's another part of my life that is really important to me other than the washing part and business aspect of things is uh i'm really big in conservation so like like this is the really cool thing that we do so there's this group of youtubers in georgia that um and they're really big on social media and they hunt whitetail deer in the suburban areas and so One of the things we all do in our area is we have a doe day where we go out and we shoot as many deer as we can. And what we do is we take all that meat and we donate it to the Red Cross, a charity of a homeless shelter, or something like that, and donate all the meat to it. And last year we donated enough meat for them to not have to have anything for like two months.

Nice.

So that's one of the cool things we do. That's that's bullshit. Yeah. And so it's not all about just shooting everything and and whatnot.

Right.

But I also.

So that makes total sense.

Yeah. And then, um, that's the, that's the other portion of my life that I like a lot, but, um, but yeah, washing is number one.

Nice.

I got to make some funny videos of washing because we do some stupid stuff.

I'm about to get a GoPro and just start recording a bunch of, bunch of shit and start editing it and YouTube.

There's this one, we were on this. This is one of the funniest things that's ever happened. I'm sitting there, Juan is one of my employees, and we're sitting there, and we're filling up the water tank with a hydrant meter before we go and wash this neighborhood. And this was when we were doing the 40 driveways and whatnot. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, Hey, good morning, everyone. Oh, shit. The tanks are on, turn it off. And so, and so it was open. The hydrant was open wide open. And I didn't realize that it filled it up like that fast. And I was like, one, turn it off. It was pretty funny. Um, on the top. Yeah.

Yeah, nice.

So that's the interesting thing is like that is a part of the wash the commercial side of things that just sucks. It's getting hydra meters.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, it does.

And it's like every municipality is different. Every city is different. You got to learn like, like if you're going into this place first time, you got to like, know everything about it.

Right.

And that's just the sucky part about it. Like over in, not Kennesaw, in Bartow County, we had a apartment complex we were washing. And so I go there a week before we start the project to go get a hydrometer. And so apparently we couldn't have a hydrometer within two miles of this, apartment complex. So literally in the water treatment plant was literally down the road. They wouldn't let us pull water off of a hydrant around this water treatment plant. Right. So I literally had to go to the water treatment plant with our water buffalo and haul all the water for this project to.

Yeah, they make it difficult sometimes to fucking do some things.

Yeah. So what's your five year plan? Where are you going to be at in five years?

My five-year plan? Where am I going to be at in five years? I'm going to be franchising in five years or less.

Do you think so?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I hope so.

It won't be long. I'll end up hitting over a million dollars with this branch here. And once I do that, then we'll move out to other areas. But focus on this and get this to a million dollars, at least if not more. Yeah. I didn't even scratch the surface with everything ever this way.

Yeah. We're pushing like, as soon as we get to a million, um, I mean, when you start getting into the millions, I know everyone just says you start spending a lot more money at a million than you do. Say if you're doing half a million.

Yeah, but I mean at the same time I'm not trying to have a lot of labor. No, I don't want a lot of labor. That's why I'm going in the direction that I am with more volume and stuff. Yeah, um, the parking garage that we're going to go do Monday and sitting there talking to the guys and they're like, how long is it going to take you to do 109,000 square feet? I said probably a day, maybe a day and a half.

Do you mind if Eddie comes in, watches you?

Uh, he might be able to. I'll hit him up and let him know if he can. That's going to be kind of a shit show, honestly, so I don't know if this would be a good one for him to even come out to. If not, no worries. I think another, a different one would probably be better for that aspect. Just for the fact that this was going to be kind of a shit show. Cause they thought that the guys before me that had the, had admitted, because I came in there and just bidded the park and garage. I won the park and garage over somebody else, but they had it set for a week. I'm like a week. Ain't no fucking way. I'm going to be in here a week. So they got to move around a bunch of shit that's still there that they still got to finish and stuff. So it's going to kind of slow me down some in that aspect. How big is this one? It's 109, 109,000 square feet, four floors. Uh, and then there's a single floor outside that I've got to do. And then they added on the fourth floor pool area and then all the concrete going around. And then all the, is that the one in Buckhead? Yeah. Yeah, they called us back and added on a bunch of shit because once they saw, I guess, the price that I was giving on the parking garage, they were like, have him bid everything. And then I bid everything and I beat the other guy out. Another guy got pissed as shit and he started cussing at him and was like, what else are you going to fucking take from me?

Wonder who the other guy was.

I was amigo. They they did all the pool stuff. It was the guys that did all the all their pool shit up top. I guess they just had all the pressure washing bidded in as they were going to do the pressure washing for them as well.

Yeah. Amigos got no zero term.

No, that's a zero turn. They were going to be up there, uh, with wands going back and forth. And that was the one thing that one of the general contractors said, he goes, you really want to have these guys out here wanting this when this guy's got a zero turn. And then they were like, zero turn, what the hell is a zero turn? And I started showing them videos and pictures of it and stuff that we could do.

And they were like, Oh, that is such a sales item right there. Like, I mean, like the way, like the biggest cost and doing any sort of kind of work is labor.

So why would you, well, when you're going into aspects like that, you're saving them time. And the more time that you can actually save them, the better it is. So that's kind of like where I come in and we're the fastest, we're the most efficient. And then we're the best because the other people are going to be a lot slower. They're going to probably cause you a lot more headaches because they're going to be in your way more. Yeah, where you can get all your shit done. Give us a call at the very last second. We come in and do our last cleaning and then you've got this place looking spick and span and you hand that key over to somebody. It's turnkey. It's all about turnkey.

Yeah. Yeah, I totally agree with you. I mean, like on. Go ahead. Go ahead. But like on our garage like that. I mean, I do agree with you on time, for sure. I mean, like, like, the thing is, like, you can be on a project for so long, and then people are like, are you done yet? Are you done yet? Are you done yet? Are you done yet? And like, sometimes, like, people can get impatient. I mean, everyone's excited, like, about you getting the work done, obviously, but like, sometimes people can get impatient, and then that leads to them getting them upset or mad.

And that's why I tell a lot of people, don't go bid things that you know is going to take you fucking forever, because at the end of the day, you are there solving a problem. Now, you just basically said, I can solve your problem, but you just gave the motherfucker another problem. But you don't want to do that, you don't want to keep giving them problems on problems.

Yeah.

Because then eventually that's going to make you look bad. And then they don't go spread the word about you or whatever, because they're like, well, this person just came in and fucking promised to underdeliver.

Yeah. Can you get some chickens?

I have chickens.

You do?

Yeah, I got seven of them. Chickens, goats. Yeah. Cat. Yeah. Four dogs. You got nothing but animals.

Chickens. What kind of chickens?

I don't know what kind of chickens they are. I had a Rhode Island fucking rooster, but my hens killed him.

Really?

Yeah, they pecked the back of his feathers out of his neck.

Hmm.

They all ganged up on him, and then they all started killing each other. And now I'm down to just four of the old ones, and then I've got three new ones that I just got from the neighbor up the street.

Chickens are ruthless, man. They are the other meanest shit. They're mean.

Like, everyone's like, oh, look at this cute little... They eat shit.

Yeah, I mean, they eat everything.

They eat shit.

Yeah, I mean, I've seen them eat shit. I've seen them eat... So, my grandfather's place is in Noonan. Dad takes care of my grandfather. He had over 100 chickens at one time. I literally fed a fish out of the pond to a chicken and it ate it. I was like, what? They are. They don't care. They'll eat anything. They're like a. They're scavengers. They're like, yeah, pretty much bottom.

Well, shit, Camden, I'm going to go ahead and probably cut this off since it's got to 52 minutes. I usually know we're going to be five on these just for the fact that most people are watching or listening to these while they're driving down the road. And that's usually like a standard drive time.

Right.

So I'll get with Eddie. I might be able to have him come out. I might not be able to have him come out Monday, but I could probably have him come out Tuesday. Just let us know there and get settled in and see what's going on first.

Yeah, no worries. It don't. It don't matter. Just let him know. But he's eager to watch you. I got you.

He wants to let him come out and be our cheerleader on the sidelines.

He wants to be your cheerleader. He'll bring you lunch. All right, bro. Walsh will bring you lunch soon. All right, sweet. Well, shit.

You have a good day, man.

All right. You too.
