I just saw this air compressor new, ( http://pacificpowerequip.com/Air-Compressor.asp ) with the plastic still on it, at a local pawn shop. The guy says it's been there far too long and he's tired of moving it around. The tag on it says $700.00 He seems ecstatic that I'm interested in it and give...

Moving everything over into the enclosed trailer is taking a lot longer then I had anticipated. Staying too busy to get much done. I need a few days of not needing the equipment to move it over.. I have coated the floor with truck bed liner. I need to go up the sides a foot or two but I wanted to wait until I had...

I've only used this pump on 6 roofs. Today I was going to softwash some really bad siding with it. The Pump ran untill it primed and got pressure. At first it only shot 15 feet then it dwindled down to 2 feet. The pump would turn on every 10 seconds for about 2 seconds. That is even with no tip on it at all. I have...

I was really wishing I had a back up at that point, but I didn't expect that part to fail. I had to finish with a pump up sprayer, but I was al...

No New Posts Running W/O Hose Reels ? ( 1 2 )
 
(Preview)
That is exactly what we are doing. Both of our trucks have no more hose reels. I simply got sick and tired of replacing swivels and manifolds. We have flat bed trucks, and simply lay the hose in the flatbed between our dual tanks. It looks like chit, but sprays much better, and save us money and breakdowns...
