    A guy called to my door, asking for 150 to power-wash our front and back garden for 150, the man was a pure conman only did half.

    Now my question is what do you need for power-washing? The truth is I've been thinking about this for a long time and might give it a try. I have 10,000 Euro to invest into me getting set-up

    I've seen a nice power-washing system for it all built into a truck. There's two one is

    perkins, 37L pm @ 400 psi, temp 65c
    karcher, 20L pm @ 200 psi, temp 311f
    But i been told that I would need maybe 3500PSI. Is this right?
    HOT OR COLD PRESSURE
    2 X HEAVY DUTY VARIABLE PRESSURE GUNS
    2 X HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
    BOTH GUNS CAN BE USED AT SAME TIME
    WATER TANK HAS QUICK DRAIN VALVE

    I know I need chemicals ect ect but would do system do ok? Looking for about 4,500 for it!

    Sorry a bit drunk after staying up for Mayweather match but please answer my question it's important.

    Not sure if this is in right area please feel fee to move.

    Well I powerwashed our paths yesterday (theres a lot of overhanging tress and sap, dead leaves fall down and create a nice brown slush on the paths) using my Karcher powerwasher and I did the job in about 40 minutes (about 50 feet x 4 feet in size). If a guy is charging 150 for the front and the same for the back, then we should all get into this business.
