Hello everyone and mucho thanks to SLSTech for letting me know this forum is here.
I am ScipioAfricanus on CT and hope to be able to actually contribute something useful to RemodelCrazy. I still hold a CA. contractors license #796511 though it is inactive now because I do mostly drafting & design now. :surrender:
Seems to be less and less of that right now in Calif. though.

Times they are a-suckin'.

Andy.

You guys really confuse me when you different names on different sites. Maybe that's your goal. Although AndyGump is much easier then ScipioAfricanus. Where on earth did you ever come up with that name any way?

Glad to see you made it----GUMP

Thanks everyone, I have been busy LMAO at some of the posts on this site already.

I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

Where on earth did you ever come up with that name any way?

I read a LOT of history and a friend of mine when I was in the Army was extremely big on Hannibal of Carthage, when I found out he was beaten by the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus on his own home ground in North Africa well I had to rub it in my friends all too smug face right?

Well that is probably more than anyone wanted to know.

Out here in So Cal, Andy Gump is one of the leading companies in the temporary site services biz. Mostly toilets and cyclone fences.

"Take a dump with Gump".

They also rent high-end portable rest rooms for events and movie locations, you can even get one with a flat screen TV if you want.

So far I have just gone with the plastic ouhouses with the blue water..

Really makes me appreciate simple American names like Joe Smith or Mark Miller.
Wonder if nick names were prevalent back then?

No, it's the guy's actual name. Or was, he died a while back and his son runs the company now.

Typical American success story of a guy who saw a need and filled it. Built five portable shitters in his garage, and bought a honey wagon truck to go around and service them. Multi-multi million dollar business now.

Welcome, Andy. Draw something pretty for us. There are a few designer types here already and we are looking for more. Know any?
