I'm trying to figure out why you were giggling using such a small weak tool? Did you get the pressure washer free? Is the wand much bigger than what you are used to playing with? Did you get the tip to close to your house and write you name it?

I mess with a pressure washer maybe 6 to 8 times a year.
I always enjoy blowing bleach combined with simple green concentrate on with the chemical tip and watching mildew go away - strangely satisfying, messing with the washer on stuff that needs it. |

I have 2 of those little 1800 psi electric pressure washers. 1 at home because the one at work is so great.
I got the one at work to clean the condensers on my ammonia refer system. It's easy and does a good job without tearing up the plastic fill. I don't need a gas powered 3600 psi washer. Hate away. |

I really need to do my house.
I do not find it enjoyable. Although any tasks that take up time that could be spent at the range or dry firing I do not find enjoyable. ETA: Did you steal it from Walmart? |

What pressure did you use on the brick? That is what I need one for. I have 100 year old dried brick on my house. The little 1800 psi unit I tried to use did nothing. In fact the brick was so dry that the water just absorbed into the brick instead of running off. |

I bought an inexpensive ($89.00) Greenworks 1600psi pressure washer at Lowes two weeks ago. I just needed something to clean the dirt/mildew/& algae off the driveway and front sidewalk. I had read many very positive reviews on Amazon about this particular model so I figured it would do what I needed it for.
I used no soap or chemicals and the crud just peeled off with no problem. It was very satisfying to see the driveway & sidewalk look like new again. |

I worked with a guy that did buildings. He dangled like a mountain climber attached to a rig like a engine hoist but the wheels were turned at a 90. We had to carry this rig up to the roof along with rope and counter weights.
I pushed this thing across the top of the roof. When we got to the end he would lower down 8-10' and.i pushed him back the other way. He didnt appreciate my jokes about him falling to his death

If you like using that so much you can come wash all of our equipment, with a real pressure washer that runs on diesel and pumps out 200 degree water. Keeping stuff clean is a full time job, I can't tell you how many hours are on our pressure washer, but it gets used every week for between 2 and 20 hours depending. It's not fun anymore when you do it all the time.

Just a warning if you get too close you can and will blow mortar out . |

I did the engine compartment of my XJ a few weeks ago and now I leave the hood popped like it's some kind of show car or something.
You call that thing a pressure washer? My pressure washer has a Honda GX390 motor and weighs somewhere around 80#. Buy once, cry once! Go to the dollar store and pick up some Awesome!, it's just as good as Simple Green and cheaper. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's fun for the first 10 minutes. I grew up on a hog farm. The building was modern and mostly "self cleaning" however we still had to go in and power wash the pens. Even the first minute of power washing pig shit is not fun, much less 4 hours straight of it. For those that don't know pig shit stinks bad and your skin will absorb the smell. You could shower for an hour afterwards and you will still smell really bad like pig shit. Once you accept that you are going to stink for days, the work part is sort of enjoyable. |

My dad sold spray equipment, mostly for herbicide applications.. He would sometimes bring a demo home after a trade show or something. We couldn't go past certain settings or it would blow off the paint off of cars or what ever we were spraying. |
