Was no picnicā¦
Post 106 of that thread shows the customized hitch.
Oh, and snow chains combined with careful route planning to get around with FWD.
That is what i was wondering.
How many driveways did you do during the storm?
Whats motor for?
For spraying liquid de-Icer. Although I am going to bed a little disappointedā¦ the pump says it puts out 35 gpm but after fitting it up with everything I am getting 2.5 gpm! Really scratching my head on this oneā¦ guess I need to step up to the 2 inch trash pump that the store bought units have. I was thinking it would be at least 15gpm after the fitting weāre facto in.
Next step up in pumps is 160gpm and I figured it was overkill! Iāll try the pump out tomorrow on the ice and see if I like it more.
Guess I could try increasing the water inlet size hose before I write it off. Thatās about all it could be!

What pump you using?
I was using my fat boy. It was working great but just a little slow for my needs.
Upgraded pumps and the inlet hose size and problem is mostly solved. Would like to see a bit more flow but I am happy for now!

Unfortunately yesā¦ I actually had a heart to heart with Blaire last night and apologized for being absent the last few weeks. I havenāt had a day off in over 3 weeks now. Itās getting really old at this point!
Itās really sad that I look forward to coming to my day job so I donāt have to work as hard lol

I wish i could be more productive, but I told my wife Iād not work after five every day, so I try to keep my word on that.
It hinders me from doing everything I want with the rig and garage but itās the investment in my family that I need to do. Even if weāre just chilling before and after dinner
Same investment I have by having date night every Wednesday and family bbq on Saturdays

I would trade it all for that!
Yea man do it, itās worth it.
One of my clients, a millionaire who founded a huge manufacturing company always tells me that he never had a day off (and thus didnāt spend time with his family), and thatās what it takes to be successful.
But Iām not after that type of success. My wife is a stay at home mom, will be homeschooling the children, and not working and paying a nanny to look after our own kids.
I know I could do more for my company but I think Iām going at a fine pace.

Unfortunately when it comes to snow we are contractually obligated. We are big enough that going back next season really is not an option. Once you pass a point you either have to stay big or loose big. Assuming this winter stops kicking my butt, we will have a pretty decent balance from our contract left over. This will allow me to take a step back in the pressure washing and be much pickier on what I do.

Hey I saw that in the magazine
And yea those contracts are understandable. So you do them at night after your day job?
You still have a guy doing pilot service full time?

I got the same one for $179 with my membership.
Long story on the pilot car driver but heās temporarily suspended.
I use vacation days when it snows and I have 4 operators that run trucks, loaders and the skid steer. Tonight Iāll be out until 3-4 am spreading salt again. Then at 8am I have FEMA training lol
