I'm about to embark on a world wind adaventure.  I'm going to do my first portable call in 3 years...

I pulled out the old 500 psi ninja.... man that thing is as heavy as hell..

A couple of new power switches and as good as new...

should I use my hydro force or should I just use some extraction soap???

No sh*t Steamer...that mofo is heavy. Probably one of the reasons for my back being the way it is today. Dump and fill and then take a pill was my motto.

I'm positive about the negative...and negative about the positive.

Did you prime the pump? Probably air in the pump head.

Weak would have been....going to the customers house without testing the equipment first. At least I know tomorrow that the darn thing will work

Good Luck Steamer, Don't overflow the waste tank. Some of those
portables don't shut off when they are full. They just blow it out through
the muffler or silencer and onto the nice white carpet.

memories of days gone by!

actually no I don't greg... but it has that stop ball and waste water deflection shield......

I took it out a few days ago and gave it a paint job(paint for plastic great stuff)... she looks like brand new...

This Porty will go up to 1000 psi, not that you should ever need that with a portable...lol

I was up till midnite trying to get her to run... but it's all good now...

I don't and won't do apartments, but I guess I have to do them for myself. 

This was my loner porty... lend it to friends relatives... who ever used it last didn't even wash out the waste tank

now thats it's all fixed up never again

I let a buddy use my porty 15yrs ago to do his mothers house. Didn't see him for 3 days. Finally tracked him down and found out they made a bundle doing other jobs.  They had no money for me, got machine back and as i was in his place i said, man u owe me for disin'me. He had a antique 22 pump action rifle, I said "I will take that for payment" and he gave it to me. Otherwise i was gona put a woopin on his behind and he knew it. So he gave up the rifle. Never did it again either Mr.Steamer.

Once in a while your so called "buddies" are unemployed and need money but they don't want to work with you. They want it all 100% of the job.

There not interested in th CC biz. Just need a few $$ to get by till the unemp. check comes in.

I give 30% when they help, but that's not enough they say. They want the FARM.

never hire a friend to work for you, it hardly ever works out.
