Cold Weather Opps.....

[rwcarpet]

Well, the cold has set upon NE Ohio. Biggest concern (at 15* and 40 mph winds) is quick freeze of water hoses. We fire up the TM, run all the vac and pressure lines to the garage door, get the supply water to the door, then quickly get the water flowing and cleaning. No problems once the water is moving in the lines. Close the garage door to the hoses, and get to work. At cleanup time, pressure hoses away first, then the vac.

Only 2 more months of this.

And, oh yes.....this van does clean at $500,000 houses!

Cold weather is why I run electric. Winter is easier when you can pull into a garage and shut the door.(For me and my clients)

When I can't. Having very hot propane heat helps a bunch.

I always drain solution hoses as we wrap up, thus when we start the next job they CAN'T freeze. Carry 100' spool of solution to the far point and unreel back to truck and plug it in. We have the 50' spot well-marked on the solution hose so I also know exactly where to put the 1st 50' coil of vacuum host.

I start the TM, Jonathan starts prespraying, usually within 5 minutes of arrival.

I connect the vacuum hose to the truck and bring the door jamb if needed.

ALWAYS drain hoses, wands, and tools of water, including inline sprayer valves and wands.

we generally don't work weekends, but we were at it today and on the road by 9
roads EVERYWHERE were snow covered ice
30-40 mph winds ....."bitter" is the best way to describe it.


glad the van is home and tucked in for the weekend
