Was thinking the same thing. Wow has this industry taken a hit


Congratulations on a nice fountain Minte. Looks great!

50 gfyers i would not invite to my fountain opening gala.

:( :( :1orglaugh fill it with pabst blue ribbon? all you can drink for 20 bucks party? :helpme

ok, if you like fountains and not be a party-pooper, you're in!

:thumbsup:1orglaugh

Will you fly a Canadian flag when I come to visit?

I like it, Nicely done Minte. :thumbsup

Yeah, ok kid. Log off. Oh, you did. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I answered you in my quote, first paragraph.

If you can't understand that I wasn't talking to YOU about whether or not YOU spending 200 grand on a fountain? LOL. Keep on keeping on kid. Fucking moron. :2 cents:

you gotta learn how to relax man, it's a thread about a fountain. maybe go chill at the local fountain?


but really going off like this because i asked you if you were referring to me about being smart or not? i mean i know you are out of your element, youusually post pics of people covered in a disgusting fluid so i am giving you a break here.


but again, it's a fountain.

If I had known there were qualified builders here on GFY I would've added you to the quote list. We only went to Milwaukee, Minneapolis and here in Madison for bids. We didn't end up going with the highest bidder.

It's not a tax write off, it's an expense. If anything, when we get assessed next year for property taxes it will increase the value of the property. We purchase machinery, that we can depreciate over 10 years for tax write offs. Keep in mind, these things still need to be paid for.

Certainly

The times have changed Sly. The fact that anonymous trolls think I could care even a little about their worthless barbs is still laughable.

i guess we should add fountains to the list of things people attribute to small penis syndrome

the list so far

cars they don't have
trucks they don't have
motorcycles they don't have
houses they don't have
watches they don't have
fountains they don't have

prolly left a few out.

This thread got weird....

Congrats on the Fountain Minte. Packers Suck :-)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


it's weird right? lol the whole fountain thing has been nutty since the beginning, i mean i never imagined a fountain could be so polarizing and drama-packed. it's almost like you are either for the fountain or against the fountain, that is fucking nutty!

minte, i hope you keep goign with these update threads. :thumbsup

I love building stuff. I'm remodeling my garage right now. I have a 4 car garage that needed a face lift so I could get my welding equipment out and have a little fun .

Hey dude check your email! Thanks ?? Lee


.

Followed from the dirt.........this is the way to take a vision to fruition. Beautiful image! I hope you are in awe of having completed the undertaking of improving the first glance of your place of business . Nice to see a project complete!

Is Hoffa under there!

Fountain looks great.

The 3 flags should be much larger though, one is the us flag, but very small and the others arent really identifiable... im guessing one is a wisconsin State flag and the other... who knows...

Get flags 3x the size... And make one up with your company name / logo to add some better branding to the scene. ;)

Some day I would like to have a fountain like that. Grats on much success sir!

200k? Didn't know fountains were so expensive.

The flags are bigger than you think. The US is 5'
x 8', the state flag is 3' x 5' and the third flag is the logo of one of my companies and it is also 3' x 5'.

lol, they aren't.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh shhhhh :uhoh op for real if you need another fountain ill do it for $180,000

5x8 is fine for the outside of an Arbys, but it's much too small for such a majestic fountain!

Go for something more presidential.... ;)

Couldn't you have taken the ole-lady to Acapulco ?
No, you built a fountain which is kind of gay.
Let me rephrase that;
Couldn't you have taken your male lover to Acapulco ?

myswell of put a pool in instead of the fountain looks to small u need a bigger one and for 200k u got ripped off.. i would of dug a whole and put a pond and fountain in for that much anyways... i wonder in this thread if you go and cry to the mods and take your pictures down again.

anyways great foundtain right

did you name the fountain after your father?

http://st.houzz.com/simgs/a582f2da0f...ome-design.jpg this one only cost 10 k

I'm sure you can find anyone to do anything for cheap... GFY is a good example these days.

How many horsepower pump do you plan? Do you have a tunnel bore? They had to get 220v and water from somewhere inside the building, under the street and out to the project. How high is the water table here? How deep are the footings, going back to the pump. Are you a fluid design expert? How large of manifold and skimmer, filtration do you need? What kind of autofill system? Lighting, controls for all of it.

The bottom line is this. We had three estimates. They were all over $200k. One was dramatically over that budget. That team had one of the best designers in the US on staff. How about landscaping design?

You get what you pay for. I wanted a quality product done on a schedule by qualified people. I got exactly what I wanted.

I took the Mrs. to Italy, got her a new SLK and still built the fountain.
What did you do this spring beyond make yourself look like an idiot.

I will have to look into that before we replace the flags.

If this is an example of your 24/7 blogging skills, do you ever ask yourself what you are going to do after you failed in this business?

Not true,Ive seen people show shit off they bought and lots of cool, that's nice. Minte hasnt worked in adult in years. It seems like he just comes here to show off and I think that's what turns people off. 95 percent of this board doesn't even know who he is. I personally dont care and he seems like a nice enough guy. Nice fountain,they did a good job.

I never worked in adult. I hobbied in adult since 1997 to about 90 days ago when I finally sold out the last remaining portions of the business. The fact that 3 or 4 people in this thread don't know me speaks more about them. Over the years that I did business in adult I spent many dollars on content, scripts etc, and always paid my bills promptly, with zero drama. I helped a lot of new people get their sites and businesses going. It was fun for a lot of years.

Sly is right. This board has completely changed over from what it once was.

EXACTLY ...

You've paid WAAAY to much for that job mate. :2 cents:

Of course this board has changed. It hasnt been a business board in years. It got meaner. I didnt know who you are until Rochard told me and I've been producing adult online for over 12 yrs.

Success is one thing, bragging about it constantly is another. Which reminds me, whatever happened to 12clicks?

Minte, you and i go back, what, 12-13 years?


fun times for sure. :)

I am one who enjoys yoru posts, however I cringe at the amount of information you hand out.

Surely this information could cause problems for your business.

If you ever went to a show, bought content, joined up and promoted any program you gave up your anonymity. The fact that I did very well in softcore for so many years and made many others a lot of money never changed anything in my mainstream world.

If anything, it enhanced it. What I learned in adult has yielded a lot over the years. My mainstream businesses come up on the first page of google for all the keywords I had hoped for. And that wasn't by accident.

All of that FF..it was a good time. I really do miss a lot of the people that used to post at PCity.

It never mattered what kind of post I made here at GFY.. There have always been trolls. That's what made GFY what it is. I could make a post giving out $100 each to the first 20 posters, and the first 3 posts would call me a cheap asshole for not making it $1000.

congrats and lol at the haters

its not just the board that has changed, its the world. 10 years ago it wasn't all doom and gloom about how we need to lower our expectations for quality of life, future economic crashes, etc. when someone who had achieved great success posted about it, others were optimistic and hoped with hard work and determination that could be them but with the state of the world economy and the constant decline of porn revenue for most people, its nearly impossible for the majority to be positive anymore.

Good Work, but I dont like the style and material
