Lots of " Are you hiring ? " calls

Malarkey is one of the last family owned manufacturers not taken over by the big guys. For that reason alone, I cheer for them. They've been forced to target specialized niche's and they do that well.

I used to go to their plant to pick up a truckload of material and you could go play with their miniature goats while you were being loaded. You don't see that any more.>>>

CIAK Said: Where did I lose ya . I have to admit I get on a roll and it flows like a river . Some I am aware will say it flows like a large, atrocious enormous blob of brownish stuff that comes out of your arse in all shapes and sizes :laugh: There I go again. As I have stated before twill the insurance companys will continue to fund the residential construction market with funds in this Media :laugh: ;) B) driven down turn . That is something I dont understand , the dribble from some on here and other forums making ridiculous statement about the media causing this economic situation. That is totally self serving can I sell you a bridge BS. Here I go again. Ciak roast the best and it will pass any piss test ;)

Chucky, you are SO full of sheeaaat.......now that you bend over daily for the insurance companies you've lost touch with reality. If you were (or ever HAD been) one of us you'd know what was happening in our trade and this economy. I'm glad you finally admitted you "worked" ;) ;)with the storm chasers, that must have come in a recent "epiphany" :ohmy: :ohmy: and BTW, if you don't think the media is "fueling" the state of fear in this country you must not watch television. Either that or your too dense to REALLY know what's going on now.

U did not lose me AT ALL. you've been warning us for a while about this Chuck.

My question is: Who are you really competing against? the "CentiMark & Tectas" of residential roofing, or the Mom & Pops?

I don't think most of us are un aware of what is happening Chuck (there goes that dirty little secret! :blush: )

I don't understand the Ins. Cos. taking on more liability tho. If they want to cut their costs then QUIT GIVING AWAY FREE ROOFS. Duh!

Pay for damage, pay for it fairly, and allow the customer (policy holder) to have piece of mind.

Oh wait, I forgot. Integrity & decency trips up Corporate AMerica's wires. Whoops, 'scuse me. it is ALL about and only marketing. I temporarily forgot that #1 factoid.

ride the Magic Bus wherever it is taking you Chuck. it's cool w/me B)>>>

Johnny, If you laid the fella off why do you begrudge him collecting unemployment? If you call unemployment on what is largely a circumstantial allegation (he won't take my phone calls) and they act on it, then don't you think IF he returns to work you might be wishing he had'nt?>>>

Great discussion Chuck keep it going!

Another dirty little secret that we should air out is work comp coverage. Let us level the playing field and have it the building owners responsiblity!! That will help the legit contractors w/ our labor burdens. The Ins. Cos. are basically collecting twice on this anyway.

Have the Gooberm$nt pay the taxpayers healthcare, (along w/ the un-employed, lazy and illegal).

This of course, might take some $'s out of the Ins. Cos. pockets, but HEY! it's not a free market anyway!

Lots to discuss. Let's keep going!>>>

Oh and while we are talking, let's get that $160 bil back from AIG and stop propping up the housing market too!>>>

Jet I'm so far ahead of your pea brain pin head diatribe . I have my finger on the pulse of this industry . Where in the dark recesses of the mush grey matter you call a brain. Perhaps kinko balboa might be of some assistant. I'm a stormier????? Speaks volumes again of your feeble mind trying to comprehend superior intellect. You are so easy . Just stay in your cage I'll have the keepers bring by some bananas when you need your nourishment twill become a stormier in your area. Marketing is a huge part of the Insurance industry. How can you capitalize ? I have a lot of ideas how to make it work . Unfortunately , right now I am sitting on the fence. Though Bozo's like JET get the fuel juices going . It would be so easy to roll over the likes !!! Thanks for that Jet>>>

"Perhaps kinko balboa might be of some assistant"........

Wow......guess reality is finally gettin' to 'ya, huh Chucky? If you're such a bigshot marketing expert why are you being a such lap dog for the insurance company you whore out to? Get back in a man's game......let's see what you can do out here in the real world. BTW, how's that arson investigation comin' along?

" Bigshot " :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :woohoo: that's a hoot !! Proable cause an arrest incarceration $ 50,000.00 bail then the next day 1st Degree Felony Arson bail raised to $ 250,000.00 That is the latest up till now. Thanks for the spelling bee Jed ;)>>>

Hey CIAK why dont you hook a fella up? How do i get in with the insurance work? I mean i get some but man these big chasers take it all in about 2 weeks than take a year to get em all done. I know first hand of a couple people working for the chasing companies give adjusters trips cruises vacations watches all sorts of bribes - hell i have even had independant agents offer me clients does'nt last long cause i refuse to give kick backs they do not come right out and say it but i find out down the line the same agent giving me his clients is now giving them to a chasing company in which i know 2 people working there telling me kickbacks big time and he is not the only agent in their pocket. I am afraid to get busted what do i do? And what about this preferred contractor service middle man kicking back to the corporate like triage? I need some work here in MN how do i do it? Not one single homeowner here is willing to pay out of their own pocket for a roof i have to fight bogus claims all day everyday. Send me an email i am serious.

I will handle this the best I can in an open forum . I first can tell you I never have worked the Minnesota market. I have had many conversation with inside and cat adjuster about that area. They tell me , if they had their choice it would be the last place they wanted to work and try to avoid it if possible. I don't have a lot of time this morning and quite possibly will in the air this afternoon going to North Carolina , Fires have burned down several homes . I'm on call at the moment. I have my new computer so I will be checking in if I leave . What kind of info are you asking me for. I will tell you up front I am honest and moral FYI>>>

Here's a business model: (will it happen Chuck?)

Roof leasing by theneighborhood "Ins. Co. Roofing Co." 1-800-FREE-Roof

Why own your roof anymore? Keep it separate from the rest of your house and let the Ins. Co. own your roof and rent it back to you. Make a payment along w/ your mortgage, taxes and escrow. Just add some $'s onto the insurance premium.

Anything happens to the roof, call the "Ins. Co. Roofing Co." to take care of it. Hail? Wind? Tree limb? Algae? Leak? One phone call does it all.

Please don't think I am mocking you CIAK, this is simply the End Game of what you are talking about. Heck let's do this w/ the whole house!! Then what do we have? It sure isn't Americans Home Ownership is it?

So the natural question, does the Ins. Industry want to own everything?>>>

CIAK Said: Bigshot :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :woohoo: thats a hoot !! Proable cause an arrest incarceration $ 50,000.00 bail then the next day 1st Degree Felony Arson bail raised to $ 250,000.00 That is the latest up till now. Thanks for the spelling bee Jed ;)

How can you be out on bail already and leaving the state w/o permission? :unsure: :unsure: Oh, you mean the people who did the work? Please expand on your admission.

MN.......you said the magic words, "I refuse to give kick-backs", don't you know how this "game" (that Chucky's in) is played? You don't pay, you don't play......simple as that. Don't go down that road, these guys will pay for it in the end, believe me. Also, when ANYONE tells you they're "up front, honest and moral", grab the vasoline. Every bible thumper I've known uses those same tired azz lines to fleece the flocks.

The answer to that question twill is Own your house . Have it paid for no mortgage and you control your destiny not a slave to the Masta " debt ". When you owe you pay . That was another reason for my post about selling my debts and buying up others debt simple as that. Jet your comments are becoming so empty mindless pin headed they don't require an answer . You answer your own reply. ;) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:>>>
