Re: Anyone Out There Had Problems With Eon Decking?


Kingster, how long have you been around? 3000 projects? How many crews do you run? How many decks a year do you build?


Have you noticed: I have my grammar and spelling down reasonably well, and I didn't have to rush it. Without predjudice, if you are as smart, knowledgeable and educated as you say you are, I'd think you could make your posts a teensy bit sharper.[/quote]

I've been doing this for 25 years now. At one point ( 5 years) I had 42 crews running. I had most of the largest builders as my customers and we did the upgrade packages on their homes. the only Track I had did provide us with 400 decks on one year ( about 10 per crew per year) Until a partners death ( my brother) wiped us out. I rebuilt from there, but not at that level, I went extremely custom after that( only about 25-30 decks a year)
I'm learning to slow down as I think faster than I type, Hopefully, There wont be as many errors. I still haven't figured out spellcheck. I figured content of information was more important than spelling, but, I guess I am wrong.

Just rubbing in our faces the fact that this is a public forum that anyone can join.

My troll spray didn't work...oh well. There are other ways.
I've heard enough from you. You bring the forum down several notches w/ your presence here.
Welcome to my Ignore list.

Re: Anyone Out There Had Problems With Eon Decking?


I am in no way impressed by a QTY of decks built. My goal is to only do 1-3 decks per year... 3-4 month projects that are so unique and truly custom. Ones where budget is never discussed and free reign is given to the builder.

I am not there yet (although I bet deck king could be that way in 48 hrs if he wanted to and have 10 yrs of work like that booked) maybe he will enlighten us.

Still waiting for the PM... someone afraid to be wrong?

I really am not trying to impress anyone! I don't you think you would be impressed by the things that i find impressive! Like, I just became a grandfather yesterday, ( third time) My wife is my best friend, My kids are extrodinary people, I've never been drunk, I have done everything possible to screw up my life, but GOD has always blessed me. so there's nothing else that matters. My accomplishments are what they are, I don't take credit for those, I give that to God!

I think it's good for you to have a goal and to stick with it
I can tell you, those year long deck projects don't come around to often
espically today. I don't know where you get that I think im so great?
I told my situation, I made some hugh mistakes that cost me almost everything. (for the second time) As long as I have God & my family my life is great. I will rebuild, and I will be on top again.

Re: Anyone Out There Had Problems With Eon Decking?


Wow... pissing people off... I wonder how God feels about that? Great way to reach people and spread the good news. (by the way that is the ONLY thing that matters) You have now turned off many people from ever reading ANYTHING you say much less giving you any sort of respect for you to spread the gospel. I am sure God will be pleased when you get to heaven and he asks if you did what he asked (spread the good news) and your response is "Well I tried but no one respected me after I acted like I was king..."

I came here for intelligent conversation with professionals, which for the most part I have had, except for a select few.
I stay here for the sole purpose of pissing off you select few.
If you are so done with me, why are you still posting on the threads that I started.
As far as what you can do for me ? ( see bottom of post)
By the way which one of you said that I would be banned from the site at 9:00 a.m. this morning, I believe you called it the over/under ????? Are you ever tired of being wrong?
You do more damage to yourself than I ever could!

On a previous post you said you got wiped out by trying to grow too fast, building 10K sq. ft. homes & all. But now the truth surfaces, big brother passed away & your company falls apart. Seems you were riding on his coattails & couldn't hang on your own. So if you were not riding your big bro's coattails enlighten us as how his death caused you to go under.

Extreme custom eh? 25-30 decks a year doesn't sound "extreme custom" to me. Oh year you're the the deck king so you could whip out 30 "extreme custom" decks a year no problemo.

Cya deck pawn, wouldn't want to Bya.

You either aren't as intelligent as you initially came here bragging about or you're so near sighted that you can't see the forest for the trees.

You came in here with a pompous attitude, insulted and/or pissed off a bunch of people on SEVERAL occasions. Then, when called on it, you continued to brag and boast about yourself and your company.

I'm the one that predicted you'd be banned by 9:00 P.M. tonight, something that was a joke - which you again didn't get

You've now tried to go around kissing a bunch of people's a$$ in an attempt to extend your trolling ways. You've obviously been around a few forums to perfect your desperate attempts at getting attention.

Those here can see through your charade and aren't being suckered in.

We were all born at night, it just wasn't last night.

Move along and leave those of us who enjoy being here alone.

Re: Anyone Out There Had Problems With Eon Decking?


[QUOTE=Stone Mountain;652674]Hickory Dickory Deck here in Ontario has more than 3000 pitures on their site, and keep adding. Of course, they have nearly 50 franchises, so they have a pretty big pool to draw from.


Jeesus Steve--You believe that? HA ha ha ha ha.

Tom might have 15 actual franchisees left, but I think the real number may be 12 or 13.

Sure sure, 50 franchised locations and millions of hits per year. Bartnik is with us... and he is furious. Most of their suppliers will tell you that the majority of his franchises still left are furious and would never advise anyone to get involved. He claims head office locations handled by salesmen as franchised locations, and when a city has suburb towns that counts as an extra location.

Did you know that the only people that have linked to those sites are a bunch of people that pay to be involved in a link scheme set up by an SEO company, and Bell Canada yellow pages?

I wouldn't worry about it though, Google just changed the rules and his entire web ranking could disappear overnight.

His site is also designed to generate it's own hits so that he can sell more advertising... open his site up in 5 windows and watch the ads generate hundreds of hits in minutes as the ads auto roll.'

They were using a deck made from details I designed as their dream deck for about 3 years...

I hate cheaters... however their karma will come.

That is the most ambitious goal I have heard in a long time...

Wow.

I only see 1 of those a year and this year I don't expect to even see one...

That is the Holy Grail for sure.

Re: Anyone Out There Had Problems With Eon Decking?


Gentlemen,

Before ever using a new product, do your research. ALL!!!! Composites, recycled, or other fancy name for fake wood is and will always be JUNK!!!! TREX Decking in fact has numerous lawsuits against it for failure to live up to it's warranty. The company I work for builds bridges. Predominatly pedestrian bridges. And most are for municipalities, and are inspected by that states D.O.T. Most all will spec out a deck made from Ipe. Now that is because it's at the top of the Jenka scale for hardness. It also is one of the lowest for shrinkage after installation. ( No broke screws ) Also the wood is so dense that it needs no treatment or stain to withstand the elements. We install this wood on bridges near the Ocean and they have withstood Salt spray for over 15 yrs. without a single treatment. Basically if you want a quality product you have to pay for it, and do your homework, or otherwise your no better than a weekend hobbyist.

~Sigh~
Sir, may I suggest you first stop by the introduction area, and say "hi"
Then, perhaps start by offering a more mild-mannered first post, with greater information,
Thanks!

Someone should just delete this entire thread. For the sake of all that's decent.

NYBridgeBuilder, welcome to the site, that good advice. As you will find out here, some people don't do research! They are attached to different things and if your opinion differs, they resort to blasting you.
I don't know why it makes a difference if you go through the introduction
post, if your right, your right.
