not started to advertise graffiti yet need a hot washer and biggger van first to hold a 1000 litre water tank.  hot water is best.

[Richy L]

i only use cold, and it does a good job.

i dont have enough work to justify buying a hot washer

[drive surgeon]

i know, i was looking at one for 7 grand. jesus its not a good time to be investing. need to get a big van forst, do you have a water tank fitted inside your van mate, you need to keep it topped up on big jobs.

[Richy L]

i have a couple of drums i can take out of my van. about 300ltrs each.

You dont need much water really though, unless you're there all day

[drive surgeon]

did you bang a quote in for blocks rich? any response?

My machine is a pretty standard one uses 15 litres a minuite so 2x 300 liter tubs will only keep me going for 40 mins MAX

[drive surgeon]

you using 1000 litre tank dw

[Richy L]

Yeah, it only lasts about 40 mins for me too on full power, but you dont need full power for graffiti removal.

I did put in a quote, and its being concidered. I think it looks promising!!

[drive surgeon]

well done rich!  lets hope you get it.

[drivewasher]

you using 1000 litre tank dw

I use A large wheelie bin tank in van (380 litres aprox). But I keep it filling with a hose and a large bore ball valve

[Richy L]

looking promising... I should be doing it around christmas time

[drive surgeon]

well done rich, were theyhappy with the price, are you sealing it?

[trevor perry]

hi richy
 if you get the job how do you intend to move the chewing gum if you only use a cold powerwasher, are you thinking of using a hot box or will you hire a steamer.

[Richy L]

hi richy

there is no chewing gum. Its a posh private hospital so they dont have a problem with it

[Richy L]

well done rich, were theyhappy with the price, are you sealing it?

yes they were and yes it will be sealed

[drive surgeon]

how did job go?

[Richy L]

im going to be doing it at Christmas time.
Just hope we get some dry weather.

Would sealing be a problem if its dry, but cold?

[drive surgeon]

yeah as the joints wont dry in cold weather unless you get all joints out to around 15 mm depth, leave for a few dry days,  get the sand in, then seal quick before moisture soaks up into fresh sand!  no rain withing 12 hours of sealing, no vehicle traffic for 24 hours, foot traffic 8 hours!

[Richy L]

... may end up loosing it now!
Was due to start monday too!

[drive surgeon]

  why rich? bad news?
