  1. Poly Braid Hose

    Higherpowersupplies.com has the 3/8" OD PVC braided 100' for $20.00. If you order over $75.00 you get free shipping as well. I have found it hard to beat them on their pricing because of the free shipping option.
  2. At least watching him get plastered in black goo is mildly entertaining
  3. Which do you prefer?

    TSP in higher doses is used to wash a house for repaint. It helps to etch the surface a bit for the new paint to stick.
  4. Being Bonded

    The bond required in Oregon is a surety bond. It means that there is a pool of money to pay for an unfinished job and inconveniences to the homeowner should the contractor fault on the contract. Florin give me a call or email if you want.
  5. Being Bonded

    It is costly but it depends on what you are going to do on whether or not it is required. The state CCB board changed the rules on July 1 2005.
  6. UPGRADING PUMP....Help

    The formula is gpm X psi / 1100= hp required. Approximately 6.0 gpm@3500psi = 19.1 hp required.
  7. Do you have pic of the setup? Are they just plumbed together after the unloaders? I thought about doing this for concrete work.
  8. Rodney. One way to prepare for that last minute estimate is to carry a change of clothes and a hat with you. I have changed in the truck or restroom somewhere. I don't wash in my sales clothes or they wouldn't last 1 day but I ma prepared to give an estimate pretty much anythime.
  9. lances

    The 1/8" is a little flexible and bends easy but is lighter and easy to tap. 1/4" in schedule 80 is pretty heavy when it is long. I wash a lot of trailers and stuff so I like at least a 6' wand that I can hang onto all day long.
  10. lances

    I make my own. Call the local pipe supply store. I make mine in 1/8" schedule 80 and in 1/4" schedule 40 stainless steel. I have them cut it to my length and I just thread the ends.
  11. changing out pump

    You may never get it off. I have an $800 pump that I never took off of an engine. The shaft has rusted itself to the drive on the pump. I learned to take them off occasionally and grease them up. It still burns me and I have tried spraying it with every known lube to man over the last 2 years and it is still very stuck. I even tried prying with a crow bar. Don't give up it may just come off someday.
  12. Identity

    As far as finding the individual persons name it can't be doen without the cooperation from the senders ISP. As far as I know you can only tell what town they are in buy the email headers.
  13. Your Health

    Careful with word choices, juicing means taking anabolic steroids. JK... I would like the juice stuff but I hate fruit, kind of makes it difficult.
  14. Sex Offender Map System

    Well if ignorance is bliss then I am truly happy. We in Oregon are "lucky" enough that the government cares about the offenders rights so much that they will not allow the creation of an electronic database to see were these pervs live.
  15. Flim Flam Retaliation

    I like 419eater. I have become an addicted "baiter". The way these guys make money is to make it look like they paid most of the transfer fees and now you only have to pay a certain amount to get the transfer completed. They want it done by Wester Union so they can pick it up without ID, as they get the numbers from you that let them pick it up. Sometimes it is a few $100 but if they think they can get more they will.
  16. Pump Rebuild ?

    Does it look like this one? http://www.pwmall.com/detail.aspx?ID=1542 Brand new is still cheaper than the rebuild cost Russ on this board has those pumps available I am pretty sure, his site is: http://www.southside-equipment.com/
  17. Potato Chips

    Post them here. I would like to see them as well, if you would like to share.
  18. Pump Rebuild ?

    Depending on the brand of the pump, most rebuild(repack) kits are less than $100.00 and the valve assemblies are about the same. Both of those prices seem high but it depends on what they do in a rebuild, but I am fairly certain you could replace the pump for less than the rebuild price.
  19. Oil Prices

    I am sending out price increases this week. I spent over $5000 in fuel for 1 rig last year. This is not including gas for machines and burners, or the second pull/sales vehicle.
  20. Drum pumps

    I agree with the above. I like the siphon pumps unti I get to that last 1/3 of the drum and then my arm gets a workout.
  21. Drum pumps

    I find most everything gums up pretty bad with caustics and acid. It is usually the piston that gives me problems. I have had good luck with the all plastic ones until the one way flapper falls out. Then they stop working.Glad Guy was able to get you going. He has been pretty easy to work with and always seems to give a fair price.
  22. Drum pumps

    I use the plastic ones from grainger. I pump 93% sulfuric with them and they hold up well. I also use them for caustics adn other stuff. The more expensive plastice ones last longer than the $5.00 cheapies.
  23. Now I have seen EVERYTHING. Check THIS service out!

    Not to detract form the dog doo posting but I actually saw a septic service truck with the slogan " yesterdays meals on wheels".
  24. I have always wanted one of those type. I like the F650 etc.. as well. $51500 is not too bad for it though, as the dealer around here want that much for a F450 4X4 CC XLT with NO bed.
  25. Stupid Computers

    Don't forget the extra $400 for a 19" flatscreen monitor
