Not only that, but it is a Honda and should last a lifetime!

Azpres, you have me sold, I plan to purchase one next week. You should call Honda and request commission on your sales.

Thanks.

I'm happy with my 5000 watt generator, it has wheels.

So does mine, Don. Under the bed of my truck. LOL

Sorry, couldn't help myself. It's late and I'm getting dingy.

who does everyone buy their lock sets and lock boxes thru? I use roper.

I use MFSSupply

For generator I picked up a very clean used Honda EB3000c for $750. They weigh 68 lbs so aren't too bad as far as lifting around. I hear they last forever and that it will probably get stolen before it ever wears out.

ok, i want to keep this thread alive. I like it. I'm looking to put a netbook in each of the vehicles we have and also put a mobile printer. Looking to be able to upload workorders while my crews are out in the field and dynamically update their routes. What do you think?

I'm looking at Dell 9" minis.

I like that idea. Would you not need a wireless internet card for each and every computer though in order to update the route? I use the Blackberry so I can get WO's while out in the field, I just can not print them out untill I get home.

I like the Dell 9" because you can get it with a built-in 3G network card from at&t and verizon. Only problem is I cover some rural area that has terrible coverage. I'm currently using MS streets and trips, so if I need to change a route for one of my crews, I could just email them the new route file and the workorder. Or I could just email them a link to mapquest. Anybody use MS MapPoint?

Squeegee for sure, especially with a couple drops of dish soap in the water - no streaks and sparkling windows. Also, nitrile latex-free gloves - even just for rekeys, depending on the house.
Water meter key is pretty handy too.

Hi, Im new to this business me and my husband just started a property preservation company in central florida. We were getting frustrated with the foreclosed homes in our community and surrounding areas not being kept up so decided with his background in Lawn care , painting, etc. and mine in bus. mgmt and marketing we could run a successful business. not to sure who to contact as far as banks or reo agents? any tips?

Never used a water meter key, but it looks pretty handy. Always used a wrench and screwdriver. Looks like a water meter key sell for $10-$20. Looks like a good investment. Thanks.

Yes, I would say for $20 or less it is worth buying the key, we have found that they are easier to work because of the "T" shape.

One thing I just recently have not been able to live without is the iPhone from Apple. I resisted it for a while (I thought it was too much of a 'novelty' thing I guess), happy to receive emails on my Moto Q, but once I got the iPhone I couldn't believe how helpful it was in the field. Email attachments are a breeze to download and view (in a font size I don't need a magnifying glass to read). The best feature is the App Store - I use the "craigsphone" application a lot to post for sale and free ads with pictures (!) on craigslist on the spot. I hardly take my computer with me anymore.
