Dave, thank you for the information. all of it seams right on with what others have told me. I beleive in keeping the market fair and not lowering prices just to get business....it only creates issues for everyone. As Far as location I am in Roverside california, this area is booming with construction. Laslty I have one last question......several of the hoses that this guy had seamed to be a little dry rotted......anyway to tell what is a good hose from a bad one?Thank you agian for your wisdom, Randy

On a cautionairy note; If you have any doubt about those hoses have them checked by a professional before you use them. Construction Forms (see add)<<<<<<<<------------< has an office in Gardina that could, and would give you a fair assessment of your system. They are professional people and, I feel, would shoot straight with you.It would be bad news to start your business with a law suit for an exploded hose......... SAFETY FIRST!!Lots of luck with your new bizz. ;)

there is a pipe and hose supplier just off the 74 by perris ,called pump parts plus i just found them last week nice folks good prices ,they have a web site ,sorry i left their card in my pump so no phone # easy to lookup i bet . close by little traffic give em a call .desertrat

I have to tell you this forum is incredible .....everyone is very helpfull. Thank you for the tips and please keep them coming.....I am sure I will learn alot along the way but would rather know the most important and safest way to conduct my business early on. Guys.....thank you. Randy.

Scott I carry a jug of vinegar with me for when I get crete on my pant legs or whereever wash off the crete and soak the pants and your leg with the vinegar. It kills the alkiline stuff in the crete and keeps it from burning you. You might smell like a pickle but you aint got crete burns. works goodPUMP IT BABY
