| I finally made a decision today and bought a pressure washer. I just wanted
a little one to clean the kids outdoor toys and our cars. Then one day I
was talking to my friend at his automotuive shop and the word pressure
washer came up and I let him know that I was going to be getting one. A
couple of weeks go by and he says, Tim you still going to get that pressure
washer? And I said how come whats up. And he said because I need my shop
(outside) and floor cleaned. To make long story short I ended getting this
one to get the job done! And I have been letting a few people know that I
do now clean driveways, outside of your house, will see what happens in the
future if it takes off fine. And if it don't thats fine too! ;o)

I have a friend in Tampa who has been pressure washing for 20 years. It is
mostly repeat business , blowing moss off of tile roofs and running a mild
bleach to kill mildew stains.
Get one heavy enough to blow graffiti from brickwork, and you will never run
out of work. (one good reason not to own one)

How is that thing anyway? I have often wondered if I should get one.
Does it use a lot of water? I have a well. What I want to do with it
is to clean truck frames and parts when I work on them. I do such
work as a sort of hobby and enjoy it very much.
My friend in town (40 miles away) has one and I hesitate to ask to
borrow it.
Hope it pans out for you. Could be a nice sideline now that you are
sober. Can't imagine the damage a drunken person could do with one.

You have a well, well it's gotwhat you need
Scroll down untill you find Water Suction Hose with Filter
http://www.karcher-usa.com/showprod...options¶m3=
Just for that , just check out the accessories. This part is for sucking
water out of a bucket when no water is available. I'm just learning and
today I learned there are a lot of accessories to one of these machines.
You could probally get one well just check out the link

It's nice to hear this, I daydreamed allready too! about having a fleet of
trucks and ladders. I've seen some people pressure washing a 10 story
building in the evening. I'm not there yet! ;o) Maybe someday but for now I
just want to break it in. ;o)

I bought one when they first showed up in the consumer market. I consider it
one of the best tool purchases I ever made. It uses very little water in
comparison with what you would use trying to do the job with a garden hose
(if it had the pressure you needed). I have a well and it has never been a
problem.
Rent or borrow one and try it out. IMO, it is the ONLY way to clean a deck
or patio. No scrubbing and no nasty chemicals.

Well well I just got back from my first job. It was fun I went out to
Elsinore and presser washed my Mom's mobile home. Wow what difference when
I was done. When I hooked up the hose I turned the water on and all of a
sudden water started shootin out of the nipple on the hose bib, rust rust
rust old old old, so I rebuilt from the water main up. I think it was
about 16 bucks in parts but it's all new now. When I was done and
everything dried it was nice and shiney again sucker actually looked new.
;o) Now I'm going to get a sigh made with my phone number on it and stick
it in the ground where ever I may be pressure washing, sure wish I had one
today could of picked up a new client. Anyways it works great and I know I
will have some fun with it.
Oh ya allmost forgot I didn't charge her anything , I got paid just seeing
the smile apon my mom's face when I was leaving.
