The tiny portion of the job we quoted (didn't get the work) had nothing to do with cleaning and was over a million $. Gov't job, 27 stories up, historical building, asbestos everywhere.....it checks pretty much every box in the cost over run chart

I have a couple Tie Boss pulleys in my backyard for a garden shelf. I remember they were marketing their kayak hoist system super aggressively 2 years ago when I purchased. I also remember them being pretty pricy but I looked past that as they are Made in America.

Having said that, there are probably 30 different brands available on amazon or you can take a trip to the hardware store to get some pulleys and 1/4" rope and DIY in an hour or so. I don't have a kayak so no real help. I will say that I converted the garden shelf into a tie boss block and tackle (weighed 300ish lbs when full of potted plants) and it still looks/works like the day I bought it.

Went to LSU with Kenta. Great dude and very happy to see that his career is taking off in the manner that he deserves. Tamaki Den got its 2nd Michelin guide recommendation last year. The Kamo's are BR raised but with a heavy Japanese upbringing, they would offer to tour guide our group of friends on a 2 week Japan ski trip every winter. Still bummed I never went. Would recommend any sushi lovers making the trip to Denver to check his spot out.

Y'all are cooked. Offset on Gov't is the best in the city.

Stihl 2-stroke oil was the gold standard for a long time. It was formulated by Castrol and was blended and packaged by Omni in Shreveport. I remember probably 6-8 years ago they had a bad batch go out that would seperate and was eating saws that sat up for a few months, so I switched to Klotz since I was already running it in my CR250. The equipment is "stihl" top notch but I no longer use their premix in my saws. I think another issue was a lot of people using the suggested 50:1 and saws running hot. I've always been closer to 40:1 or even 32:1 as I'd rather foul a plug than lock up an engine, and when my saw is running I run it hot enough to blow any fouling out anyways.

OP I don't even think I touched on your post I just felt like ranting. Stihl equipment is top-tier, stihl oil is mid-tier, water in the gas concerns neither of these things. You can always take the easy way out and buy a gallon of TOPFUEL that can sit on the shelf for a year without degrading too bad.

4 in 4 out?

That was so he could pay his plumber buddy $2k and still keep $2500 for himself

Made my first trip to OL's last week after houston supercross...they have a new lifetime customer.

He's still kicking, just retiring to go enjoy those Friday nights/Saturday mornings

I would submit Scott Henderson
