So I got my copy of the schedule of events at JLC Live Long Beach next month. There's a whole host of great clinics and seminars, including of course with all due modesty, my program...but seriously, there are some great things to see and do here. I've decided after looking through my brochure, I'm staying for 3 days minimum to soak in all I can...
For me, I'm interested in seeing Michael Byrne's clinic on waterproofing a Tile Shower, and then I want to attend Waterproof Windows and Doors (I'm interested in the doors more than windows) by Mike Sloggat. I'd also recommend for many of you to attend the Managing Moisture at the Exterior by Andy Engel. Remember, decks and buildings all must be weatherboard built!.
The all day 8-3 sessions have some intense subjects that are very releveant-Automating Your Office With Quick Books and Project management is on Tuesday, on Wednesday the toss up for me is between Managing The Business End of Your Construction Business by Leslie Shiner, or Accurate Estimating and Job Costing by Dennis Dixon.
Then there's the conference sessions like mine, a shorter 1 1/2 to 2 hour event that crams in more with less detailed infor on the bigger subject...can't cover everything in 2 hours, but-Essential Contract Elements is a good one for every contractor great and small, Dealing With Difficult Clients is another and the best one for all of us is Understanding The New Building Code in Ca, including q & a with actual live building officials!
Make sure to save time at 430 pm on Thursday to attend the best ever seminar (sic) my Art of Waterproofing Decks! Forgo the Welcome Party starting at 5 to learn about waterproofing, who needs beer when a subject this interesting comes along?
Friday features a quickbooks short course and then I'll be heading back home to SLO town.
Sign up today for full day courses, it's by reservation.

YOU'RE A SCAM ARTIST. YOU'RE NO EXPERT. SURE, THE INFO. IS HELPFUL BUT YOU ARE TRYING TO DRUM UP BUSINESS FOR YOURSELF YET YOU HAVE NO WORKERS COMP. INSURANCE! NICE TRY, BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!!
Hey Anonymous,
My Mom taught me that if I have something to say or write something about someone, to grow a sack and have the courage to put my name to what I say.
Do I get business from my web site's? Yes I do, your jealousy is showing through...
Not at all. Just rookies like u good at setting up websites & proclaiming your "expertise" don't set well with me. Read my other posts & you'll see why.
Hey Anonymous,
I don't care what doesn't sit well with you; find the courage to put your name on your smack talk cause what doesn't sit well with me is crap talking wimps.
Otherwise, your just another bs artist that throws words around but doesn't have the fortitude to stand behind what you say.
You must be repping for one of those "have it privately labeled for us companies" that I smack talk about because their ethics are in the toilet and they don't really manufacturer anything.
Have a nice day!
ONCE AGAIN, WRONG!!
WORLD-WIDE MANUFACTURER/DISTRIBUTOR.PRODUCTS THE "EXPERT" PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE!!
GO BACK TO PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WHERE YOU CAN FOOL THE PEOPLE AS IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM!
HEY, & FOR THE $25.00 ADVICE YOU GIVE, WILL YOU READ MY PALM & TELL ME MY FORTUNE!!??
Hey Anonymous,
Again, I implore you, don't be yellow and hide behind your anonymous tag...it's not becoming. If you'd like to have real discourse and move the industry ahead, then you'll come forward, if not, your one of the dinosaurs in this industry that's on the verge of dying out...
Let me set you straight; I didn't "property manage", I managed the business affairs of non-profit corporations worth millions of dollars as fiduciary agent to the corporations that contracted for my services.
I learned in school to enunciate, so send me a few of the product names you rep for, I'll bet I can pronounce them ;)and tell you what they're for too
Your not jealous? Well what then? You give me a backhanded compliment ("sure, the info is helpful")but yet it seems you have a problem with me personally. Well take a number and get in the back of the line of the "I Hate Bill Leys club".
My goal is to give helpful information, advice and weed out the deadbeat installers and crappy "manufacturer's" as best possible and I won't be stopping because your feelings are hurt. They say to never wise up a dummy, but I will wise you up today; for about $800.00 or so, you can invest into a website, have someone design your site and then you can learn to post your website up, where you can counter my website with your advice...you can get a free blog at blogspot.com, and feel free to opine on me and my expertise. That's my $25.00 worth of advice, you can pay through PayPal...
See, when I read your posts, then I see you start yelling at me by using all caps, well, that tells me here's an old school guy (I bet you have a tshirt or 2 that says"Old Guys Rule"), on his way out of the industry, caught finally by a guy smarter and more motivated, with better info and you probably got hit by a visitor to my website who started asking you hard questions that you don't like being asked when you were trying to scam them on a deck job.
Well get used to it, the new school is now in session and your being left behind.
BTW, DiBaggio says hi...
So if your interested in educating the consumers and contractors, the deck mfg's and installers, then why are you trying to tear me down? Because I've accomplished more in 5 years than you have in 20?
You can join us or be against us, your choice. Maybe i'd even give you a voice here at this blog...you never know.
I LIVE IN AN ASSOCIATION KNUCKLEHEAD; YOU'RE FORMER DUTIES ARE EXACTLY AS I DESCRIBED & DEAL WITH ON A PERSONAL/BUSINESS BASIS. YOU WERE RUNNING ALL DAY & MEETINGS EVERY NITE.
AND BY THE WAY. BY THE LOOKS OF YOUR PHOTO, I KNOW I'M MUCH YOUNGER THAN YOU.
Dear Anonymous,
Maybe your manager "runs around all day and goes to meetings all night"; this manager didn't.
Maybe you should learn a little more about what HOA managers do, instead of acting like a know it all who doesn't know squat.
Your younger than me? O boy, isn't that a cause celebre, your still a dinosaur in the new age.
That would explain the lack of testes, as they apparently haven't dropped down yet, pre-pubescent boy. Ask your Mom how to spell your name so you can type it in. Tell her that you want to show some C-O-U-R-A-G-E.
Do you have anything positive to contribute or are you just here to show us all how jealous you are of the success of the website and my business?
