Ol' Slurpy ready to work

[Old Coastie]

"Slurpy", a twenty year old Advance Aqua Clean was smoked by the elves a year and a half ago. New vac motor, new hoses, bearings, seals and main brush, a bit of paint and some Coastie elbow grease and it runs like a Swiss watch.

Friday night he goes to work cleaning a doctor's office complex, 5 floors up. Usually I encap it but we all know that ya gotta flush once in a while!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Do you have the hard surface squeegee for it?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Just leave it up there.

Do you have the hard surface squeegee for it?

Nope. But before, it worked surprisingly well on cgd; now it should be better.

 

[Old Coastie]

Just leave it up there.

Why? They'd only try to do their own carpets.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I hope the "complex" isn't very big

 

[Old Coastie]

Meh, about 2100 feet. Also a fair load of furniture. Maybe four hours.

How did it get the nickname "Slurpy"?

BTW, how did you get the moniker "Old Coastie"?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

We use one of those to clean up puke in one of our schools. They're good for that, and maybe spotting

One of my elves was prone to naming the equipment and it stuck.

Me, I was a Coast Guardsman for 33 years. Then they figured out who was drinking all the coffee and booted my crusty butt onto the beach.

Well, it all went very well. I used DS2 as prespray, 1 oz/gal of Saiger'sCide in the rinse. Slurpy laid it down and sucked it up like a boss. It was well on the way to drying when I left and MUCH brighter! If you could have seen the thick black, inky slops going into the toilet...
Here's the thing; I have encapped this same job four times, but the key to a good encap is the followup vacuuming. Next time I might just flush it again, but with the Ranger and 360i and brush head.
Still all in all it went splendidly.

You the boss, boss! To each their own! But for the life of me I don't understand why you wouldn't use the ranger and 360i in the first place

I have a Bane and a king cobra for 2nd. floor work, and my guys think they've died and gone to hell!

I just wanted to see how well Slurpy would do and how long it'd take.

He did about $100/hr, including furniture work with another machine. That's pretty good.

Aquaclean classic was the first porty I ever ran.. It had the brushes right behind the head. It's a drag machine right?

 

[Old Coastie]

That's the one, all right. Wanna buy a memory?

 

[Able 1]

Ya think I could make a fish tank out of it?

 

[Able 1]

Actually it was a great porty! I can't do it.. Ever again!

 

[Old Coastie]

You could run it just once and breed tilapia in the waste tank. Income and protein, all in one!
