I'm seeing alot of 'newness' here with startup q's and such so I'm posting a few pics to hopefully help someone out. That IS why we all post our experiences and suggestions. I took some shots of my rig for insurance purposes, so I thought I'd put 'em up here in the scrap book. It's raining here today and I've been in cranking out estimates in QB all morning. Need a break! This new configuration is very efficient and works real well for a two man crew. Hours of thought and improvement over last year's layout.
Mainly, I added another machine, set of reels, and larger tank. I thought not being able to walk through from rear door to front would be an inconvenience, but it's not. Last season all chem mixing was done outside the rear at the 1" water/dump line. I wanted to pull all that inside this year to keep a tidier look while on site. All powdered chems are in cabinet. I QC'd my supply line going into the top of the tank and added a ball valve. When I need water, I hit the ball valve, disconnect and fill whatever. Last year my fill line was gravity and slower. Now it's pressurized from house/supply side. Trailer pulls much better this year as it's lighter on the tongue. You can't see my surfacer but it's mounted flush to the roof. Two machines ROCK!
