The cheapest way to have a portable pressure washer? The only problem is the pressure is not that great. It is also not that cheap because the hose it expensive. But besides that, it worked really well. One good thing is I have some extra hose around if something bad happens.
The first picture is a before shot, then an after. I plan on cleaning out the gaps then patching them up.
My plan is to have quick disconnects right below the swivel saver in the self serve bays. This will allow me to connect stuff in the bay faster. Like a drain snake thing or my poor man’s pressure washer.
I was discussing cutting high pressure hose over at autocarwash. Actually, I just posed a question, but I got lots of answers. But, I liked Fred Lenze idea the best. Well he said use a circular saw and I thought about using my crappy Ryobi 18v instead of purchasing a new grinder to replace my Chicago 4 1/2″. I purchased a 5″ cut-off blade and installed the blade.
The circular saw seems to do a good job. Now, I have a battery powered grinder just like the $229 DeWalt?
Mep1, was correct about having the incorrect blade on my grinder. But, I lost my magic piece to get the blade off. I guess, I need to purchase another one if the circular saw does not work. So I might be out $14.99.
My friends Desmond and Tywanna Walker dumped garbage near my dumpster today. I guess it was them? Maybe someone stole their garbage? It was filled with junk food and over 20 boxes of unopened baby food and 2 boxes of unopened cereal. Looking at their T-Mobile cell bill I think they need to trim back their $116.13 bill. I don’t even pay that much for my cell phone bill. They also need to invest in garbage pickup. But then again, I have 2 dumpsters and garbage pickup at my house.
I think if they are the ones that dumped the garbage (unless they got setup), they should reconsider their trip to Marietta, GA and pay for my garbage pickup. Also, I hope they went to the library to use their computer.
Well, I needed to cut the lawn about a week or two ago. But I used my new Homelite electric mover to cut it. I had to use the electric mover because my John Deere did not work when I tried to start it. It starts then immediately stalls out.
I ran over the extension cord also which is great. Like my fix-it job? I did not have any tape.
Ok, this is a cheezy post. These were the only pictures I took today. (Even the link to cheezy is cheezy.) Sorry
I replaced a plastic wand piece and another wand was leaking.
Does this mean that Big E details custom grills? Details cars? I just know Big E had a couple grills.
Today, I cleaned up and found out I did not install my garden hose correctly. What is funny about this is I found a fitting on the ground by a garbage can and found the original in the equipment room. The last picture is my dumpster. I unlocked the dumpster but did not open it and left the lock like it was still locked. I went in the equipment room to clean up and when I came back the lock was gone and someone dumped some crap in the dumpster.
I think it was old car day today? (Middle picture) This guy somehow purchased two boxes of crap and was riding a bike? That makes no sense; he was going through all his new items. I did something productive today, I attached four reuseable high pressure fittings.
It has been a little while since I installed the fan (http://cwguy.com/?p=867) I added a switch and there are no bare wires running to the power now.
I need to try and dampen the sound the fan makes because the installer did a crappy job. But now if I need to hear myself think, I can just turn the switch off. I guess I fixed the problem?
