lamisil will clear your nails right up, just ask your doctor

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Maybe you got the Wednesday hose. My continentals were a Monday or Friday hose

Have your hoses ever bled that pretty blue line on the wet sprayed carpet?

Just DONT spray the hose with prespray.... and clean it EVERYTIME you Coil it back up.... wet rag....

 

[dealtimeman]

Oh hell, I'm just going to go with Continental again. I’ve been using it for 6 years now and its been groovy.

Change it out every 2 years and you won’t have a problem. Ever.

How much does that cost you?

And what happens to the old hose?

 

[Mike Draper]

$125 delivered. Old hose goes in the recycle bin. Who knows if it can be recycled.

I saved mine to run air line ports to different parts of pole barn
a brass hose barb and hose clamps will handle any PSI a common compressor can put out



(never got a round tuit though)

What you need is one dozen hoptuits.

For me the challenge is keeping the solution line straight and not pulling on it.
When I roll it up I can feel where it has gotten a little kinked up. That's where my last leak came from.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Getting scissored in a closing metal door.

 

[steve_64]

Not Pulling on it when there is a couple loops has become my challenge. Even when wrapping it up.

The door issue is easily solved by laying out vacuum hose first.

Or using door wedges to hold the door open.

One more thing to leave behind. Yes I have.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

The vacuum hose by itself won't stop the pressure hose from getting pinched sometimes.

I prefer to prespray before bringing in the vac hose, so I drop a towel in the hinge side before rolling out solution lines.

If you can handle a wife, you can handle Parflex

Now I know Paula does not read these boards.

Probably has much better things to do.

The real question is, does your wife handle your hose?

Yeah you have to leave a lot of slack so it doesn't pull towards the jam.

I like the door closed as much as possible and wedging the jam can screw the hinges up especially when it's a little rotted.

I got a 3 gallon electric sprayer for the not so nasty jobs I need to soak or if I want to prescrub too then I don't even need to start the machine until I'm ready to extract but it's not always a perfect system.

Every job is different so it's good to have options. I've seen guys put rocks between the door and jam or hinge side to hold it open and then the door doesn't close right so best to not put that stress on it imo.
Being a janitor when I was young taught me a lot about building maintenance and how not to do some things.

 

[steve_64]

On windy days I like to bungy the door handle and storm door handle together so that's what works the best for me.

 

[Jimmy L]

I like those bungees to hook to the side doors of my van to the wheels when it's windy.
And that's all I got to say about that.

Is that you Forrest?

A 8’ 2 by 4 will produce about 25-30 door wedges.... and they are about 5$ a board... If a guy leaves a few behind, who gives a shyte....

And Jimmy for the win.... can’t have too many bungees.... they’ve got to have plastic ends though... don’t want to scratch the paint, or Mrs Pilfingtons banister....

I use scrap wood I make them for my wife she uses them for her weekly Hallway cleaning.

I just do like I said now.

 

[Nomad74]

I use this. And I leave them all the time. I'm down from 4 to 1.
