Hey people!

[Kristopher1129]

I will make sure I space everything out next time. I actually didn't realize how much I wrote.

I won't forget to post the pictures. I just wanna wait till everything is done. That way I can go through all the photos. Cause some of them I probably won't post.

Thanks guys!

Great to have ya aboard! I look forward to your thoughts and insight, I hope to be completely legitimate by March and I am sure what you have to share will help tremendously.

Should I post some pics up on this thread? Or should I just start a new one? I can at least upload what I've got so far.

I'm thinking a new thread would probably be best since this was sort of the intro. It's up to you guys...what do ya think? I'll do it either way.

Alright. I'm actually gonna go gather the good pics together right now. Should have them up in a bit. Mostly right now all I have is the van, and progress on that so far.

I do have some equipment...but no pictures cause it's not setup yet.

I added a bunch of pictures to my account. But, I'm not sure how to get them up on here. It seems like they need to be uploaded to a website for me to post them on here? What am I doing wrong here?

Well, I added an album. So if you guys wanna go check it out...you should be able to see the pics. Let me know what you think!

It's obviously still a work in progress. Lettering needs to be done, and the equipment needs to be arranged inside. Other than that...there's no turning back now, ha.

Here's some info on what was done since I bought the van.

• New rocker panels
• All blue paint was turned gray
• catalytic converter was replaced
• one of the back doors was replaced before paint
• pinstriping
• steel rims were painted black, chrome rings and center caps were added
• new tires

As for equipment and other things so far...

• Two 12x12 EZ-UP tents
• An 1800 psi Stanley electric pressure washer
• a 3500 watt generator with muffler for quiter operation
• brochures for advertising
• A stand up banner with business info for people passing by mobile site

Things I don't have yet, but am getting before spring...

• 100 gallon water tank
• Air compressor (could use some feedback on which would be reliable)
• Obviously a buffer, vac, and products
• A durrmaid hot water extractor (feedback on this product would be appreciated)

That's the progress...and the plan. If you guys have any tips, or info as to what else I can do...I will certainly put that info to good use! Thanks.

The Van islooking good! That thing was a mess.As far as air compressors go,shop around.There are many brands that are reliable and inexpensive.

Something to look at with portable compressors are the on\off switch and regulator,most are made of plastic and can be damaged really easy.Hitachi like the one at lowes is one I would stay away from.For price and quality I'd say you can't go wrong with a Craftsman. Just my .02

Durrimaid are great products and work very well,But I would consider a steamer. For the price you can do more with a steamer,vx5000 is a good product to look at.


Good luck , Hope this helps!
