Nice.

I am all about saving money on decent older equipment (in good shape)
cleaning them up and keeping them clean, and well maintained = saving money.

I was able to pick up this plow truck from my mechanic, all equiped for $500.00 (to do my own driveway) + a tailgate spreader $200.00. I Cleaned and painted them both :

According to the post, it is a 1964. Google "1964 lull" under "Google Images". It is the only one.

It may not be the most satisfying but it's what we do

That brings back memories of my very first job I had in high school...

No date on this one, but it is 1 year newer then mine: http://cgi.ebay.com/LULL-MASONRY-HIG...QQcmdZViewItem

I don't know where the serial number reference is now, but I know it is '64.

Here is a Lull 400, which is probably what the one you found is, and it shows to be 1970...they built this model until after 1980. http://www.equipmenttraderonline.com...L-400-93757511

I bet you like Trains and Bridges as well!

You seem to really "dig" REAL machinery!

**joasis** · 11-14-2008, 05:19 PM

I was actually dumb enough to try and get a parts manual for the lift....and found out a lot more then I needed to know. No manuals available, and Lull was bought out by someone else.

Maybe you shouldn't post that first picture if that is you or someone who works for you in, or should I say using, that lift.

My son, and partner. No OSHA violation.

I can't get him over doing dumb things.

Well, he would get over it pretty quick when you start shopping for a wheelchair accessable lift

I know a guy who used to do stuff like that who now gets around on one of these

rservices · 11-15-2008, 08:32 AM

The stuff in the dish room ia
FRP (fiberglass reinforced panels), but it goes by many names dimple board, milk house board, Glass steel.

I use it a lot in the older restaurants, the newer ones already have it installed.

Winchester · 11-16-2008, 08:38 PM

My latest job: Turning what was once a video store into a fitness club.

Looking in the entrance: All the tiles are being replaced. Carpet is staying for now. will be hardwood next year.

A new 10x10 office is going in the corner in the front.

This room will be split in two: Men and women's changerooms with a shower stall. Tile everywhere.

This hallway will lose the door, and an arch in it's place, and duplicated on the other side for the other changeroom. All tiles replaced, nice paint over the whole club.

Plus another office and storage room in the back. Our goal is to be done by the new year. As long as the city hurries up with the permits it should go ahead of our goal.

MALCO.New.York · 11-16-2008, 08:41 PM

Going to be a Nice Place!!! But I bet they find it to not be big enough real soon!! Unless of course, it is one of those "Specialized, Yoga, Pilates, New Age facilities".

Keep us posted with the progression. I especially would like to hear of the difficulties and obstacles and how and WHAT you did to overcome these, if any, barriers.

This is how I learn.

Knowing what NOT to do in a given situation via other peoples experiences.

I agree, and one of the reasons I keep coming back to ContractorTalk

I've added a lot of good clauses to my contracts thanks to the posters here.

Would you share what you feel is one of the best clauses you've added to your contracts?
I'm always looking for the next exclusion, mine generally come from my own hard knocks.
Thanks

Mostly anything to do with late payments or non-payment.

I stop work without breaching the contract, and the customer owes 2% per month (24% per year). After payment I return to work as soon as my now revised schedule allows.

Also the payment schedule. I take deposits now. it was in 1/3's but I like what someone on here posted about 10% on signing and 40% on the first day of work... I'm considering modifying mine to be similar to this, except probably something like 30% on the first day of work.

I was way too trusting before.
