Ha yeah I never really use the 0 degree nozzle. The Simpson washer I did buy from Sams Club last time had a decent wand with a quick connect on it. But yes, the hose was garbage. I won't be able afford to buy a better hose currently after spending $400 on a washer. However if I have hose...

Thanks. Yeah I bought one last summer and loved the washer itself. Had no problems with the engine or pump at all. Used it quite a few times over the summer. Only problem I had with it was this lol: Anyway, I'm not opposed to buying what amounts to pretty much the same washer. Just...

Thanks, that's good info. Unfortunately a good washer with a triplex pump is probably out of my price range. Trying to stick under $400.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of, I can't find that specific model anywhere else, so it seems Sam's specific to me.

I'm looking at buying a pressure washer from Sams Club. It's specifically the MS60920 with the Honda GC190 Engine. I imagine these models are made just for stores like Sams Club, but why? What's different about them? Full disclosure, I actually bought a Simpson pressure washer from Sams Club...

That sounds nice, I'm just looking for something a bit more permanent. But way to engineer your own solution. DIY FTW.

There are some pretty good looking quality ones built by "Shazeebo", but for a 18" square one with mounting hardware (not counting posts), it's close to $600. Versus about $125 for the Amazon ones. There's a middle ground, "Coolaroo", but not sure how much better those are than the ones on...

Sorry, resurrecting this thread once again, because I'm curious how your sail held up. What brand of sail/where you got it, and how long it lasted. I can't seem to find any thick walled steel posts around me without paying an arm and a leg, so I am probably going to do 6x6 treated lumber. But...

Oh, but I just realized, the only solvent-based sealer is "solid color" I was looking for something more clear. The concrete sealer clear gloss is oil based. What's the difference?

Yeah, I had thought about that, because my brother-in-law works at a sherwin williams and is going to get us some stuff with his employee discount, so that is really tempting, but that's the stuff the guy at this local SW told us isn't good for the garage. But I don't trust him now. But if...

Thanks, that's good info. I actually just talked to a friend of mine who used to work in concrete, and just had his done, and he had it done with this stuff called Acryli-Guard Plus. It was done by a professional crew, and they have been using the stuff for quite a long time, and they say it's...

And what did you seal your floor with? The only thing around here I could find that seemed like it would work is this Seal Krete Clear-Seal. It's a urethane-fortified acrylic sealer. At $30/gallon, I could do my whole garage for under $100. If this is they type of stuff that you used, or...

Interesting. And it lasted that long? Even with hot tires and whatnot driving on it? I asked a guy about that type of stuff over at the local Sherwin Williams, and he said that it wasn't made for driving and would only last a few months. But if it's made for driveways, I can't see how that...

Joe Reed, That sealer you used looks like it might be the product for me. I would love to have a nice shiny epoxy coating with flakes and all that, but I'm also on a budget, and I also don't want to have to worry about maintenance or it coming up in the future. I really just want to protect my...
