Can't heat water with electricity? :roll:

How did I get the water this hot?

Kleenrite and 4 separate circuits ( secure facility, 5 gallon hot water tank), one bucket heater between fills.

2 heaters, daisy chained The ugly old school one just keeps going after I replaced the circuit board with disc thermostats.

7500 watts of heat- screaming hot water. I usually only need one with a normal sized 45 gallon water heater.

THIS WAS PERFORMED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS _DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

11 hours, 1200 bucks. shiteatinggrin - Secure facility, no TMs. :shock:

I have it down so it's really simple and no sweat. But, with your highly diminished mental capacity becker, I can see why you'd find it difficult. shiteatinggrin !gotcha!

I shot that in the beer cooler at my rugby teams clubhouse Richard. !gotcha!

I'm a cheap bastard- let someone else pay to heat my water. And fuel my machine. And the last time I tried to boil water, it got stuck to the bottom of the pot.

(Richard is just jealous of my high tech porty set up - he wants one really bad)

I did not say difficult. I said a nightmare.

Good money, but hardly impressed.

Was it over 2 nights?

All day Sat or Sunday?

Was 2 of those hrs hooking up the system and tearing it down?

I'd rather pay some dude to watch the door and bang it out with a TM.
If it was reachable.

They had a guy do them with a TM Don, but they're concerned with security. You're right, not jump out of your skin money, but my overhead was maybe $20 - $30 for chems.

Richard - How would you service this tasty area? ( How much carpet is there in that patch :?: shiteatinggrin )

Time is money for me. I know I could shave hrs off with a tm.

Btw. I ran portables for way to many years!

But they didn't want a TM Don, so it was porty only work. With they way I set up, I had good heat, decent vacuum and good pressure and they're always happy with my work. I did have to stop to refill and dump and reposition a few times, but all in all, it was a decent money maker.

I thought that maybe we were getting some culture here with a headline like Some Like It Hot.


Oh for the days of Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

did I tell you the story about my portable? I got so pissed off at it that I kicked the damn thing down a flight of stairs at an apartment complex. It was full of nasty water and I cussed every word in the book at it as it slung shit water all over the place on its way down. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I then cussed all the way to my van and went home. My wife made me go back to the apmt complex and get it :oops: :oops: my blood still boils when I think about that hunk of shit!!! :twisted: My back hurt for 3 months after that day. Anyhoo, I said "NEVER AGAIN"!!!! and bought a truckmount a couple weeks later. I pawned that hunk of F-c-i-g shit off on some hotel manager. It musta been cursed because he got fired a little while after that :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: oh the memories.... I almost got a real job after that day shiteatinggrin

I guess I should say that I'm as easy going as they come. Don't have a temper and my wife and I have never been in a single fight, married 7 years and 2 kids. That was the most stressed day I can remember. Had a lot going on in my life at that time, just a realy bad day. I laugh about it now. 8)

I heard all of the men in Utah had anger issues and it's probably because there are too many women in the house.

Wilber can't you learn how to SHAMPOO some of your work?
Scampoo? Naw - they wanted HWE. I have a few accounts that use that once on a while, but most want it rinsed. I always run a red pad or use the Host to loosen the TL's first. I'm happy, they're happy. I get a nice check for a decent day's work.


Trout Larry? It's salmon season here. We don't fart around with minnows. In fact, I'll give you a pictorial if I can manage to keep Wednesday open. Busy season and winter ain't far off....

Meanwhile, drool on your keyboard :cry:

Pad before Portable.

No way in hell I'm ever running a portable when I get better results with OPE.

I agree with Becker and Brian

I would have hired my kid to stand at the door

I use to clean some apartments with a portable years ago. Portable had 25' hoses. I hired a big kid (Chris) to carry the portable around. All the apartments were 2 levels and all the stairs stopped about half way up and took a turn before going up the rest of the way. Chris used to carry the portable up the stairs full of water, Then when I had to clean the stairs, he would hold the portable halfway up the stairs.

Chris eventually went to play football at Pacific Lutheran so I bought a spit fire

Seems anymore the property manangers will prefer pad encap over HWE on commercial, if it is demo'd right.
