We just do in around our shops. Got this Old Iron that we need to play with!:lgbounces Dave Olson

On the other end of the scale, I will probably be the Oldest guy there!:rolleyes2 Dave Olson

Sometimes we do Government type work! :lgcold: Last week had my guys doing stuff around the house. Today we reinstalled a head on one of my old tractors. The tractor is 77 years old and we've got it running like a youngster! This is a picture of the tractorsitting on this flatbed truck. Last year we worked on the engine of this truck. The year before we worked on the body of the truck. :lgmoneyey Dave Olson

Is it Ok if I answer this fellow? :) You can delete this if you want. The process we used to remove the paint was rotary tips #4.5, 3000 psi, 200+ degrees F water temperature. We cleaned it after using our standard degreaser/detergent a sodium metasilicate based product. Dave Olson

My office is in my house. My commute is 14 steps from the easy chair upstairs! My shops are about 6 blocks from my house. We have a 1900 sq ft shop for our equipment. It is insulated, 14" overhead door and 16" eves. Also has sky lights. We use infrared heaters in the back of our trucks. K1 heaters when we are working in the shop. Has a bathroom and we have hooked up so we can fill our water tanks before we leave on a job. We have a second building a couple blocks from the other one that is about 1100 sq ft. Keep mainly toys here but at times it is an overflow for the other shop. I bought a container a couple years ago and use it for our water blaster and my old White truck. We built a storage room out of 2x12's and used the walls for shelves. Wrapped it in plastic so we can keep our chemicals warm. Use florecent lights inside. All of our equipment is stored inside except my Old Dodge and a couple flatbed trailers. Dave Olson

I'm not sure what you mean about Cement Paint either! Here is a picture of my crew removing paint from a concrete building. Does your building look anything like this? Dave Olson

Hello Rick, Yes you can get them to handle most any flow you want. We use an Lp stand alone boiler (hot box) and it handles our 10.2 gpm pump very well. It is rated for 980,000 Btu. The boiler is the red round unit on the left side of this picture. Dave Olson

Here is a picture taking paint off of a curb. No stripper. Heat, and 1500 to 3000 psi. Most of it they used 15 degree tips, some rotary tips. Water volume about 8 gpm. Dave Olson
