First I just want to say I respect you both, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t say what’s on my mind.
You made the mistake of calling thinktoomuch’s advice stupid, I have to disagree with that. Both of you gave good advice. Innocent, you’re an arrogant dickhead; but that can be a good thing, which is why your status is, what it apparently is. You know, back when I was doing electrical work, I learned the most from all the electricians I worked with, from an arrogant dickhead. The guy was a major asshole, but I broke my back working for him and he showed me the right way to do that kinda work. So I can work with that. You should be laughing at this point. Anyway, 5.5 gpm is in my future no doubt… I’ll get there eventually man! I already have a trailer. I also already have the cash. I just want to become more established and get more experience before I go knocking on doors of plant managers that contract out maintenance for heat exchangers, or whatever else you big dogs clean. You know, my dream to become a millionaire before age 40 (I’m 33) involves several catalysts- 1. The hope that Ethereum will rise to a level near Bitcoin within 4-5 years, if that happens I become rich because I’ve been mining eth with my homemade supercomputers since March and have around 550 eth currently. To those who don’t know what Eth is, it’s a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin that has smart contract capability on it. In other words, you can program it to pay someone at a specific time or date after they do something, or after something happens. Living Wills would be a good example. It was worth about 2 bucks in December, now it’s worth almost 12.- and 2. I’ll get a job at a plant and become friendly with people who hire people to power clean parts of said plant. Industrial is where it’s at, at least down here. There’s a ton of money to be made, I just need to get the experience and knowhow, ya know?
I do appreciate both of your responses, I am about tuckered out. That paint job yesterday kicked my ass. Don’t waste your time flaming me- I probably just got cancer inhaling paint fumes, knock on wood.
Anyway, my first commercial pw job is thursday. Today I have a house job to go finish, quoted them on the driveway, back patio for 225, and the house for 250- Already cleaned the driveway, b. patio, walkway, and front porch. Just gotta go back today and catch the carport and the house perimeter- I’m going to try out my new xjet on the carport- I have my xjet mounted right after the gun, but before my short 12" muzzled barrel, and after that I have a m5ds twist.
Tuesday morning I have a huge mansion job I’m going to have to take 12 hours to do with my mickey mouse pw, he also wants some more stuff done as well and told me he has some friends from his plant that need work (Awesome.)…Wednesday is a rest/marketing/flyer day, I would like at least one day to just relax, my quads are pretty sore from painting all day sunday, I’m limping around like one of those pimps who walk with a cane, without the cane… Thursday is the commercial job, and friday I have another house job with some landscaping stuff. Next Monday I’m probably going to paint a bathroom ceiling for a little extra cash to fund my lifan/comet project.
I agree that the comet pump isn’t as good as the cat, but, it’s half the price. It’s hard to argue that the CAT pump will have double the lifespan of the comet, but we shall see. As far as the Lifan company with that name scandal, that is pretty shiesty, but that’s business. I’m going to pull the trigger on it, I’ll make a thread later on with photos of assembly, etc. Gonna order a custom sticker to put on that sucker, thinking of naming it ‘Contender’. Never in a million years would I have assumed I would enjoy power washing as much as I do. I mean, what’s the worst thing that can happen. If the setup isn’t what I want, and wanna upgrade, I’ll keep it around for a secondary unit and get a skid trailer mounted 5.5-7 gpm setup with a tank and all that jazz. I’m not going anywhere, so that’s in my future, but…baby steps! You guys have a strong monday!
Stay after it,
Norman
