I can't speak for everyone, but I think you should stay, this place is for everyone involved in professional pressure washing.
As for your rig, it's very impressive, very nice! I can't remember if Jefferson is in Jackson or Hall County? I have a very good friend that works for Hall County Fire Dept. and another distant friend that works for City of Jefferson or Jackson County FD. It's nice up there, I wouldn't mind living up there myself.

Well, add another computer guy to your contacts if that's the case, I'm a part time pressure washer (almost 5 years) and a full time PC/Laptop employee for 10 years.

I'm surprized any one of you guys want to be in his contact list??
I'm leaving his shop now, I can tell you this much pics don't do it justice when you see them in person, and 32 hasn't even got the reclaim yet, but what I like most is the electric hose reel for the reclaim hose....Holds 400' vacuum hose!!!

I was half joking, meaning that anyone on here can PM me or email me anytime they have computer problems, not just wetfoot. I don't think many know me on here, except the ones I've met at various roundtables.
I never had anything bad to say about wetfoot, my first post was at the end of page 4 asking where the pictures went, for some reason they were removed.

Hey Brad
nice rigs - you must be doing well to justify 3 big setups like that, credit to you buddy!
I think the guys do want you here! You'll learn that the 'motley crew' here like to egg others on... don't take the bait! lol
You'll also learn that they like to have a bit of fun just check out the length and content of Last Post Wins ... haha! Stick around, I'm sure many would appreciate your experience and insight... the more contributions that are made the stronger this forum will be.
Thick skin is a necessity... lol.
Take it easy buddy!
Hummmmmm
Here is the rig we sold. These pictures are when we was constructing the washer over a year ago. I am sorry, but I do not have any photo's that where more recent. If you enlarge the photo, you will see the hydraulics that was installed on this washer was changed in the newer design. These hydraulics cost a sum of $23,000... the newer design is at a "wholesale" cost of $41,000.
Just a note, we did not buy a stock trailer and said... ya that will work. Our trailer was engineered to withstand 6,000 lbs every 3 feet while suspended at the corners of the rig. Though the suspension CAN NOT handle those requirements, we wanted the trailer to for the purpose of the trailer flexing.
For example:
The floor board is made with 3/8 thick diamond plate steel. Not the standard 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Cross members are 4" Channel spaced at 12 inches apart. Not the standard 3 " Channel at 16 to 24 inches apart. The trailer is not painted, it is powder coated to 4 mil thick. The trailer was fitted with the equipment, holes drilled, the disassembled and sent to the powder coat company to have the axles, lights, wiring etc removed and the trailer set in a oven to bake the powder coats on. It took 1.5 days in the oven to get the steel on the trailer hot enough and 1 day to cool.
The surface cleaners was not included in the sale.
