Ooops.....didn't see this thread before.
My name is Chuck.
I'm finally living my dream of leaving the rat race to live in the country.
Only three traffic lights in my county. Big Smiley Face.
More horses than people.
I pump concrete for a living and am an owner operator.
I live in a very small community and things are pretty remote so I'm not always busy.
I also own a 50 ton Grove crane. Between the two I stay reasonably busy.
Winter here are long and cold and not much call for a concrete pump or crane.

Steam thawing was an idea I had years ago and I think I will stay very busy when the temps drop low again. We've had 32º and rain for almost 4 weeks.

Using the Jenny on my own stuff is a nice fringey. The nearest place for me to wash my trucks is a 50 mile round trip. It costs me about $20+ fuel every time and I never get as clean as I would like and always in a rush.

As I read this website I find most are very successful doing homes driveways and roofs and such. Most driveways here are gravel.....lol. The economy is poor here and people don't spend unless they have too.

Yet, I believe I can earn money steaming wells, pumping out messes, cleaning dirty heavy equipment like feller bunchers or cats and thawing frozen things....particularly starting heavy equipment in the woods.

A tip for pressure washer businesses ....from a different craft:
Concrete pumpers particularly boom pumpers either get plugged or the pump breaks and or the pump control breaks .....something happens meaning they can't get the mud out of the boom pipes or the hopper.

It is life or death for many a concrete pumper. It serious business.

A Pressure washer....any size in PSI or GPM can save the pump and the pumper from severe heartache.

They call the process a "Boom Party" which means taking off all the boom pipe and cleaning out the concrete. It sucks!

Any pressure washer can push concrete out of the boom pipe.
All you need is a fitting to go from your PW to the pump and all pumpers have those fittings. Additionally, you shove a bunch of newspaper, foam balls, bags of concrete, plastic....anything to make a piston to push the concrete out so the water doesn't wash and get by the concrete.

If you ever get a call from a distressed concrete pumper....drop what you are doing, if possible, because you really can save his bacon and time is everything.

It will be rewarding.
