do what you gotta do I have the exact Lowes machine that you are refering to. Just like many of the other guys out there, ($4000) is or was too much money to start out with. I think that a 4 gpm 13 hp honda at 3700 psi is just a little more than your average diy machine, regardless who sells...

huh? That's what I was thinking...???????????

Like everyone else, I would love to have a copy. Thanks in advance!

post cards Another thing I did is I took my regular business card and enlarged it to a 4x6 post card and added a 10% coupon good for 30 days I printed 350 of them. The day before yesterday I taped 135 of them to mail boxes. I have had two calls so far, and one of them turned into a house wash...

home made cards Hello again Chris, I went to Staples and bought blank magnet sheets and made my own cards. I don't think it's cost effective to hand them out to just anyone. What I plan to do with mine is give them to customers after I do work for them just to keep me in their thoughts...

55 gal drum Thanks for the response on the drum and well water. I just figured if I'm using someone's well and all of a sudden their pump stops working right or they start using a lot of water inside I would have that little bit of protection of gravity flow to my pump from the drum. I realize...

thanks for quick response Hello again thanks for the welcome and quick response. My direct drive pump does say 4 gpm, maybe that isn't true. I don't know. I was using the drum because I will be using some customers water that have a well. Wanted to make sure there was always enough flow. I DO...

Hello, My name is Robert. I'm in NC. I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the valuable info. I've been reading these posts for about 10 weeks. I have just started my own business. I wasn't able to start with as mush as I would like to, I was on a very limited budget. So I'll give you guys...
