    I like the "new look"

    After a previous change, when I clicked my bookmark for this site, it would go to a "you have entered an invalid user name/password or do not have access to this page" log-in form. Now it goes right to the main page I had been accustomed to to seeing. A small thing, but still a Good Thing...

    My "new" machine (RB 400 K): WADU capable?

    That's a Stihl, with an 11 HP Honda. (GX340). I requested an Owner's Manual from Stihl, and it arrived Friday. The machine is on its way from California. (An eBay deal.) Maybe some day I'll have a hot water machine with more HP, but this is my "foot in the door." I should have checked the label...

    IBCs for water supply?

    It's been awhile since anyone discussed Intermediate Bulk Containers, also known as totes. Instead of using one for roof cleaning chems, I got one for water supply when far away from faucets. Mine has a 2" ball valve on the outlet, which should supply a 4 GPM pwasher pretty well. I just need to...

    Even freight cars have to be cleaned now and then, just so the numbers and other data can be read, but passenger cars have to be kept "nice." I'm looking into the best way(s) to efficiently clean off dust, dirt, and diesel soot without damaging paint and adhesive markings, leaving aluminum any...

    Hole in pump case?

    This is a cropping from a photo I saw of a pressure washer pump. I can't give too many details about it, but I was hoping somebody else could get a look and give me their opinion. There's something between two ribs on the pump case that might just be a chip in the paint. Then again, it looks...

    "Dialing back" a 4000 PSI pwasher

    I hope this is the right section for this question. And I'm not a contractor, but I might be if I get all this stuff figured out. ;) Earlier today, I saw this jab by stan in another thread: I had already decided to "go big or stay home," figuring on getting a machine (preferably hot/cold) that...
