Larry is known for buying the shells from Porty manufactures and totally rebuilding the guts with his Texas sized components and aspirations.
I'm going to assume he is doing the same with this TMI shell.
Did Mytee stop selling you shells Larry?

What size motor Larry? For some odd reason, we can't get the 6.6 or the 8.4 from the local wholesaler my suppliers tell me, unless ordered 12 to 16 weeks.

5.7" High Efficiency Motor with Short Cord and Switch . . .
Good - I like doing that too, but on a much smaller scale. I've got another idea for boosting the vac, but it's top secret right now.
BTW good idea Marty- we need a POG room...

I think Marty will be OK with my post - since I didn't change any quotes - I made up brand new completely bogus quotes, since Larry never actually said any of those things.... unfortunately.....

That's pretty silly Fred- I'm not the least bit embarrassed about what I do or how I do it and I'm actually quite proud of what I've done. I'm very good at my profession and make pretty damn good coin doing it. If the tm crowd feels threatened about the use of electricity to achieve the same goals, then that reflects on them, not me or the others that do the same thing I do. We're all businessmen, striving to earn a good living for ourselves and our families. If you consider me (or the many others) that use electrical machinery to reach our goals as a "less than professional" than those are your issues, not mine.

So you don't want to be the moderator?
Not if it means slipping a shiv in Bawb's back- I'm very loyal to my friends.

We have some really good portable only guys on MB.
They really care about doing a quality job. Some go through the extra steps and hassles of lugging and managing extra equipment to do a better job.
I'd like to see how long a TM only cleaner would last in Downtown Manhattan or Vancouver; and soon maybe San Francisco.
IMO_ MB's porty guys are Not TEMF guys-- this broad attracts Quality--Or at least those that strive to be.
Much respect to you Willy.

My grandfather Earl (who passed away decades ago) was a carpenter. A guy with a wooden toolbox full of hand tools type of carpenter. That man could build anything and everything he did was a work of art. He didn't have a panel saw, planer, shaper, or any of the expensive tools you would find in a modern production environment yet he turned out gorgeous kitchen cabinets at a good clip. It's not the equipment, folks. It's the nut behind the wheel.

We cleaned 6 condo units today all with our trusty portable.... $1,600 is not bad for a day's work with a portable... Having multiple units in the same building does help... Should have seen the amount of sand we pulled with the rv360i BH... It's slower than wanding, but does a way better job... These condo's are on beach front...
TM or portable, the money is all the same - in one hand and out the other.....

Nate,
Beach Sand is tough.
We always used a Dual Motor Pile Brush with Nylon brush to get the bulk of it up first.
Then, of course, you need all the airflow you can get to pick up that sand.
