that's when the doggone crap starts overflowing through the silencer and
onto the floor . It's a pain. I really have only run into an over shampooed
carpet about 4 times. that's not bad.

Portable worked great..... but there is always a but...... who ever cleaned the carpets the last time used a lot of soap.....   It was like cleaning with gillette foam....

I didn't have any defoamer with me so I used the pog..... worked pretty good..

portable work you can keep it

never hire a friend to work for you, it hardly ever works out.
nothing is impossable. it just hasn't been done yet.

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.

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.

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
