Probably necessary to define different approaches, physical and chemical.
First, high pressure rotary washers ( look a bit like a lawn mower with
water jets underneath), and there are copious amounts of wand type cleaners.They do a reasonable job, however one thing to remember is that they
can remove small layers of concrete if held too close. Next is the chemical
route, there are several products on the market, however I think I saw a dry
chemical treatment for grease/oil removal on a program called Bright Ideas
they have a website, do a search. The results they were claiming were quite
spectacular. Lastly, I have contacted the chemical engineers at firms like
Septone before and they have been very helpful from a commercial perspective.Good Luck!

Try the search facility (top left) while you are waiting for replies, as
this topic has been canvassed before.Does the builder own the plan? If he owns the plans, who owns
the ideas or intellectual property? I wouldn’t know, however this
is one case where a modest amount of money spent on a solicitor
could save you a lot of grief (pref one spec in that area). You may
not be able to get those plans back but you may be able to simply
copy them ( just an eg. I had reason to do a lot of reading on copyright
and patenting, I.P etc. recently and realized I knew very little at all
about it and that the terms that people use relating to these situations
are often completely wrong. I just hope you’re not in to deep financially
with him, so as to reduce your options to change service providers if
you so desire! They may also be able to advise you on your position
with regards to addressing his/her recent price hikes.F.W
Just a tip, I know what a pain losing your work
can be, so: if you’re writing a sub/reply just pull
up a word doc. or alternative w/proc, type your
reply copy and paste it in the box, works like a
dream. That way you will have a copy and if it
all goes to hell on the net you just fire up copy
and paste. Interesting article guys! Good to hear

Obviously c/a programs aren’t your favs. Forget
them, I was simply using them as a vehicle. This
question could be broken down into two elements
selling cheaper money and selling Brokers.
I don’t think money stories are bad news and yet
they do sell well. If I know I can get a cheaper deal
through a trustworthy source that justifies the time
investment I will do it every time. I know of people
changing their internet service providers at the drop
of a hat because they can save a few dollars a month
(considerable setup time in those things sometimes).
I have listened to staff room banter, trust me people
love stories about beating the banks and saving money
and reno’s. At the end of the day if people find an
operator in any walk of life, that is outstanding at
what they do, they will knock down a door to get
their services. Do you know a highly skilled broker?
I could get access to, just kidding.Robert
Yes, it is the mort/brkers job to hunt down the
best info on finance. However you have to ring him/her first with your request, here is the problem. Do newbies find it easy to trust an agent
to do a good job and do they trust their judgement on making the right decision with the info presented to them when their financial future is at stake? To you and experienced investors borrowing/managing large amounts of money is more
matter of fact, but for a large number of people it can be frightening. This is about to turn into
an essay, so I will try a parable: Robert if your company was profiled on a certain current affairs
and it was deemed that after much research your products where considered of tremendous benefit to the mainstream (in other words endorsed by a respected independant source) and that the process
for adopting this change was painless. It would be interesting to see the response!
Four things:
1. Advertising
2. Ease of conversion from exist-prod
3. Credibility
4 Demonstrated results over a period of time.
Last three things conveyed by a trusted source in
widespread advertising (maybe).T.M.A – Some possible reasons (don’t shoot).
1. Thinking that staying with one inst. est a
usuable record.
2. I have pawed (poured) over loans until I was
exhausted trying to factor in fees ect.
3. Better the devil you thought you did than the
devil you don’t.
4. You all know that financial literacy is not a
keystone of our formal or non-formal ed.Even when you want to know it is not nec. easy to find the relevant info. Some websites are emerging that are quite useful, but we have more ground to cover to comprehensively service peoples needs. Here’s an axiomatic question, how people feel they get comprehensive,
trustworthy service from their financial vendor?Thanks for the reply kay henry, do have good
relations with bank manager, he would verbally
quote valuation but would not forward a copy.
I am mainly interested in the $$$ val.. however
paying for part/service has never made me happy.Will pursue the avenues suggested!!!
