I think most of us have lost one at one time or another. The collar on the q/c isn't out and locked around the tip. Always check it when changing tips. If you can see the spring or ball bearings on the q/c, you aren't locked and ready to pull the trigger.

It does follow under construction in FL.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Jeff. I've had the same problem with notices not being delivered before and it shut us down for the day. The only saving grace was the fact that it rained a few hours later anyway. I'm considering putting something in the contracts from now on that will cover us financially on days like that. Keep your head up and Good Luck!

Hi Barry, You can meet the state-required exemption and still need to have the WC if the PM requires it and it will need to be for you and any other employees on the site.

Sorry Wayne.......Happy Belated Birthday! We're gettin' old and forgetful too............:lgbonk:

Most of the properties here won't allow lifts on the grass for that reason. Sheets of plywood work really well to protect the grass/underground plumbing, but it can be a pain to constantly move them as the lift travels. Bigger lifts from the parking lot (when possible) is a good way around such obstacles.

LOL! Spell check please! :)

That's big $$$ left on the table! Get an apartment complex with tile roofs and sub the roofs to me the first time and I'll show you how and you'll probably have your single biggest check on the next one. If you get a complex with building washing, roof cleaning and concrete, you'll be able to do the whole thing in about 4-5 weeks or so and the total gross pay should be over $50K easily if it's an average sized community. :lgmoneyey

Yes, I made it. It was probably somewhere around $350. The use of stainless fittings drove the price up a bit.

I'm sure it probably varies from area to area, but it's about 7 gpm here.

The 8@35 makes more sense in my opinion. With the 5.5@5 you're getting less flow (slower) and the psi is overkill which can/will lead to unnecessary wear on the concrete. :)

Is this it? http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5852

No, there's a burner switch to turn on/off as needed.

Here's my truck of choice, but the wife is putting up some resistance......We'll see how it all plays out. My $$$ is on her....lol! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4616236996&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Could be the pump, but more than likely it's air somewhere. How long did you let it run while this was happening?

In short, there used to be machines that didn't have pressure unloaders, so an open gun was the way it was done. All or nothing!

Dennis is the man! I met him back when he was with APW. He's an ol' schooler that can troubleshoot just about anything. He's told me stories from back in the day, when there was nothing but open-gun machines.

The fact of the matter is his company name/number shouldn't be openly posted like this one way or the other. It should be considered 'unprofessional' around here to do so and lacks good judgement. It's always interesting how the ball bounces, isn't it?

HD, Lowe's and most paint stores.

In a perfect world nothing bad should happen, but we all know it does. The bottom line usually comes down to who's going to cover it though. Personally, I think it's an erroneous incident, but there is a case to be made one way or the other.

If I recall, you bought it from Steve Rowlett. If so, give him a call and see what he can do for you. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll hook you up with someone at Pressure Pros.
