got a call from a church

[sassyotto]

accepted my bid. about 350 ft to the last classroom. Id like to 4 to the door at least 250 feet but need extra vac hose. Since I dont do commercial anymore (nights/weekends) I dont have that much vac hose. Other than borrowing from another cleaner, is there any cheap hose I can use just as a one time use for this job?

[SamIam]

There's really no cheap vac hose, then the shipping is killer too.

 

[SamIam]

I would try a park closer or go thru a window.

If possible.

I have 200 ft of hose had about 450 with both trucks

 

[BIG WOOD]

Don’t stress doing the 4 to the door thing.

Just leave your wand on the carpet while you’re cleaning to keep the lift high and it won’t hurt your dry times

Wait…don’t you have a Titan 575? Do you do what their idiot instructions say and have your lift set at 12hg? If so, then yes you need 4tothe door. Or you could just be normal and set your hg where it needs to be at 14

Yes, there’s a big difference when it’s only 2 hg higher.

 

[icleancarpetz]

Got extra lying around. Shsme your on the other side of amerika.

 

[Able3.0]

How much hose do you need?

 

[Mikey P]

Put duct tape over your tank's vac relief...

Old Coit trick

I used to know a moron from Wisconsin. He was so far left that he lived in another world. I couldn’t stand talking to him. So, I’m not loaning you any hose and I’m not coming up there to help for fear everybody up their is retarded.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Look at it this way, you can buy extra hose, a porty, or a vlm machine. You can decide real fast and come to terms and expense any of it off.

 

[Brian H]

Had a subcontractor working for me 40 some years ago that cut off the vacuum hose at a quarter car wash. So there's that as a back-up plan.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Bejesus!!!

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Then go clean a church with it

Order some from Amazon then return it when your done.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Order it again when the next church calls

I don’t understand how anyone in this industry doesn’t have extra hose on hand.
Forget the ‘other board suggestion’s’, just go buy a couple 50’ lengths of 2.5”…
WAY better suction than the stupid 4TTD.

It’s idiotic, and complicates things…

Believe me, I’ve tried running the ‘other’ way, and it is a waste of time, and money…

"Retarded" is an unfortunate term.

In today's parlance, try these instead:

"Developmentally challenged"

"Cognitively disabled"

"Intellectually disabled"

"Differently-abled"

This last one has gained a great deal of acceptance, but many organizations that help such individuals find this term to be condescending.

No need to thank me Marty; I know you keep notes of my suggestions of empathy and kindness in a notebook somewhere close at hand....

 

[Kenny Hayes]

You know that was WAY over his head and his English teacher didn’t explain that

 

[they live]

Retard works just fine for me.
The others sound condescending.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I will never forget the time my younger brother made a bunch of adult down syndrome folks laugh harder than they ever did when he made fun of them calling them retards and making fun of their looks and idiosyncrasies. Then they started making fun of each other and they were all laughing until my grandma heard us and put an end to it.
Those folks loved us. It was honest. They know who they are.
My grandma was the head cook at an adult foster care home and she woukd bring a group home on the weekends and put them to work around the house. It was the 70s.
My brother was also the funniest person I ever knew.

My best friend worked exclusively with children with Down's Syndrome, and through him I learned what love and laughter they could bring into your life.

My friend is long passed away (he was only 37), but the lessons I learned from him and those in his care have lasted a lifetime.

My teasing of Marty was just that.....I enjoy be able to pique his ire from time to time

You’ve tried to correct me on the use of the word RETARD before Jim. All I can tell you is I’m not as politically correct as you are nor am I anywhere near as sensitive.

I use to prefer Buggy Eyed Southerner


Now that Pastor Pemberton has worked his ways with me, I'm using "less fortunate" rather naturally


Even though I still envision Marty every time the subject comes up

What TMs have a 2.5 port?

Mine is…. Actually 2 of them. I had a fabricator build a new stainless steel lid with dual 2.5” ports.

 

[hogjowl]

Well sure … any TM can be retrofitted to 2.5 but to throw out advice for a 50’ run of 2.5 is useless to anyone running a stock 2” system.
Which is most cleaners.
