You can do it, but you have to make it yourself.


Did I mention I am mechanically and electrically challenged?

Just dawned on me that Ed's unit works on TM and porty solutions.  So his does handle heat.

To Mytee I say "If you can't take the heat, you ain't so bitchin." Butt%20Shake

And if does come to that then i will abundantly think about portables.. Already have a 175 rotary so might just be a padder with a Honda hachback..hahaha.LOL



Considering that vans use gas just to get to the custy's location, I think Kenny better start investing in horses.

Ken , nothing personal, but I found a message you posted in 2004 or 2005 where you said gas would hit $4 the following year (4 or 5 anyway).  You predictions are based on worst case.  Bring your thinking back in line with reality which is somewhere between optimistic and pestomistic.

blah, blah, blah.  When labor is so cheap that saving time doesn't matter, we'll see Kenny get a sale. In the meantime, buy a TM or a porable with 3-stage vacuums. The more the better.

Next time you talk to him, ask him about his philosophy about vacuums being in parallel or series on exatactors, and which is best. I'd be curious to see if his opinion has changed.

I am so tight with money I get the indian riding the buffalo on a nickel.  So in a way I was kinda hoping I could get $900 worth of performance for half price.  But why I am getting it is what makes this the first major (for me) equipment investment this year.  Second will be a new ramp (old ones weighs about 60lbs).  Third will be chemical shelving for the van.  Last will be the power splitter junction boxes from Mytee.  At least the first two are presents for my back muscles.  Maybe the third too.  Last one just ends a real source of irritation.
