Any first timers get nervous?

Nope just my DS. Thats the only thing in between.

Find a local hose company. When your hose bust or you need one that day your not waiting on amazon

My local hose company is a whole in the wal but great products, any connections you can think of.

Its the same diameter as the hose too.
Honestly thought it was snake skin when I seen it.
Messed my gun up. Going to take a look at the gun after work tomorrow.

Any fitting any hose you can think of. They are building me a 3 way electric ball valve. (Trying to)

Clines is a local hose company near me who I have a good connection with dont remember alot about my dad’s company but I used to play golf with the owner and good bit when I was a teen.

Worked at a driving range when I was a teenager. My dad’s friends always hit for free.

Btw, you want to take that nut off. It’ll corrode and put rust through your hose, etc.

Already did it was way to big. I was thinking of grabbing a stainless steel nut that fit around my hose nicely from work tomorrow.

Just called envirospec. I sent Joseph the pics and she said he will probably go ahead and send me a new hose and gun. They are going to call me back in a hour.

Update on envirospec.com. customer service was friendly and quick. They contacted the engineers about the hose. The engineers were confused at what this was too and also said it looks like snake skin. I offered to mail them a piece and was told “no save the money and buy you a beer we are sending you a brand new hose. It should be there in 2 days” he also offered to send my a new gun but I refused. Nice down to earth people. Just purchased a new gun and m5ds from them too.

I have issues with pricing too. Running a small truck out of the bed with no signage kinda makes you feel like your not worth the price others charge imo anyway

You charge by the job.
Not by your equipment, If not you’ll be selling yourself short

If lettering on your truck is what it takes to feel more professional and command higher prices, then get it done asap. I have a uniform and a lettered truck just as much for myself, as for my customers. You have to invest in yourself; not just the equipment. Hope that makes some sense :wink:

Oh, I forgot to mention: vinyl lettering is fairly cheap. This was $350+ tax, and should last 5-10+ years.
