And pretty soon, we shall say hello to the new member of the Expert Family, ready to pick up where
"ol blue" left off!

Nice richard. I am excited for you and can't wait to see the videos. BTW where is the disco light and the strobes going to be mounted?

Painted the interior plywood with primer today, tomorrow will do the final coat of Alkyd Exterior. So those walls are all white inside now.

Disco Balls! What a great idea! Along with a kickin Hi-Fi Stereo!

Oh yeah, videos will come once I got the unit installed and on my first few jobs!

Going to a well established carpet cleaner in Thunder Bay. He talked me down to $23,000 but I get to keep my vac reel and most of the accessories for the new truck. Old blue is sitting out front of the shop all shined up and detailed, dodojuice wax and fixed up most of the minor scratches. Took off all the lettering from the bug deflector and removed all signage. She's a blue beauty now, he
will be happy when he sees it in the morning.

Oh my god its gone... Ol' blue drove off down the street this afternoon never to be seen again.. <sniffle>

She served me well and made me lots of money. This company wouldn't be where it is today without ol' blue.

Goodbye blue, enjoy your new life in Thunder Bay, I'm sure he will take good care of you.

Nice box looking forward to seeing pics with new machine!!!

I'm having second thoughts about setting up a live reel in the new truck. The assembly leaks after some time, you lose solution heat, its extra wear on the hose too. If I put the solution reel at the back of the truck with the vac hose reel, similar to how Rob has done in his video, it would allow me to move the TM more to the left in the side doorway. With more room open on the right side of the machine, I could get in and out of the truck from that side, to access tools and items stored over top of the cab, without having to crawl over the seats in the cab every time. Also I can access the machine from that side for maintenance.

Agree?

It's Here!!

Hm? Mounting the tank in front of the seats would obscure my view when driving.
