Good idea. I can save myself a lot of writing by using those vids for the next few years for the Newbie Corner on [rk].

I love the collar cut off his tee shirt, but my favorite part is when talks about getting his PAGE from the customer.

That wasn't you -- it was EverettReefer who "borrowed" your avatar. I just thought it was you trying to reset your post count.

Badwrasse,

Okay, who am I; "You know, i don't have time for unnecessary gadgets like ro/di, and i don't have time for supervision and managing my project, or other fancy book learnin' things.

"watch the man in the brown shirt. Will he say something?"

Watch the man in the grey hoodie. Will he take responsibility?

How about you, do you get to Albuquerque much?

LOL ya I acually almost felt bad for him in that episode but he wasn't even paying attention to the guys he was cleaning up the mess, isnt that what he pays the other guys to do(the grunt work). he should have left the paper and wrap on and just removed it from the bottom to put in on the stand, after all it was a constution site

Go to 2:20...he says you want to add 5 drops, but only holds up 4 fingers. Jeez I am easily amused.

OK in this episode he has an RO unit and in his garage ture is has on also, but when he talks about making water he says he dont have the equiptment or access to the equiptment. Wish he could get his story strait.


Also when he aclimates the fish he says "I let them aclimate for about a half an hour and then dump them in",.....THEY WERE JUST FLOATING LOL.

He also said that he had 42 services to do at one time,.. and from what I took from another show(the interveiw) if he only serviced each tank one time a month he would have made $4,620(based on 60 gal tanks) a month in services alone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbSWJ...e=channel_page


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVubC...e=channel_page to here about how he dosnt have the resources

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiYtQ...e=channel_page to here about how much he charges (26:23)
