Had to laugh at myself
Permalink  
 

Finally put about 30 gals of water in the tank, fired up the compressor, set the psi, and bam was off watering the lawn.. Noticed I forgot to put tape on one thread that was leaking a bit so fixed that isssue the and decided to water my roof... Baby steps right??? All was going well, I was getting a feel for it then I noticed a shingle was missing at the peak pof the roof so I put the wand down and walked up to to check it out. Heard a loud smash so I turned around and noticed the dam wand fell of the roof and broke.. a few lessons learned....Dont put the wand down -  Always carry two wands incase one breaks on a job.. and always laugh at yourself so when others do you can't hear em.. Off to spray with chems next week.. One step at a time..

Just take it to the hardware store and make your own using a ball valve if you have a gun for a spare. I like Jeff Wieble's idea of using a 45 on the inlet of the ball valve/

Like Lori said, go with the ball valve. And always have at least 1 extra on hand.
