Doc told me to stop doing extreme sports after my bad fall. if i wanted keep walking by the age of 30. bad knees from all the sports/ running and bad shoulders from all the martial arts in the past years. but What does your toe affect. do you really want to go through the surgery to implant pins n screws? whats the worst that can happen? I think you should get a second opinion on the toes. My feet have been wet from surfing all day then working all night for a long time now. I would only fleet wash with sneakers, the chems you use is what messes you up. Its all absorbed by you feet. n joints. + 10 on the rubber Boots

need help picking new unit
Joe Ortiz replied to premiumpowerwash's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
1 gpm wont make a noticable difference. so my best bet is go bigger,like 8gpm for commercial work. if not either one will do, pressure isnt always better. flow is key. It all comes down to what you can afford though. -

The bigger the Orfice the less psi and more flow. you dont want to restrict the flow of the pump by putting a smaller size orfice. a 6.0 should be good for that pump.

check your ignitor might be going bad and not sending enough spark to the fuel to burn it and then it pools up then explodes out the stack.

THE COOLEST RIG on the planet!!!
Joe Ortiz replied to MeiersEnterprises's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I thought rigs are sopposed to be dirty. Kinda like having a jeep/big 4x4 truck they dont look good untill there dirty. I repaint the trailers once a year and reundercoat the underside. but i dont like to see rust spots on the rails or fenders so i always have a can of spray paint in the toolbox. Things just rust too fast down here. -
I got a trailer ready to go just need a hotbox or skid

Steel Eagle problem
Joe Ortiz replied to Mike Williamson's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
I would buy them new. They are balanced and the right size. you would be wasting money and still have to order them. I tried to make a straight bar and focused on trying to keep them balanced as much a possable. it worked but did sake quite a bit. good luck -

Well theres alot of diff. types of raspas stands. most sell raspas,but what they sell the most is junk food,my fav. is shaved white corn steamed in a cup with mayo,cheese,chili,butter, n lime. sounds like a heartattack in a cup but its good. the raspas have all nat. fruit and some are made with cream which makes the ice alot smoother. but tey all tast good when its about 100*/76%humidity out
