That's sweet, I'm planning something simalar but I'm going to machine an adapter and makeup my own electric pressure washer. I try to spray my stuff off in the winter a decent amount and pulling the gas unit out and putting it away is a pita. Hot water also makes a huge differance washing cars winter or summer,removes bug guts and grime so much easier.

 

[sootie]

Just a word of caution on using hot water with the unit listed....the pump has a tendency to overheat and as a result, the lifespan is shortened considerably.

So I haven't posted in a while but I had not been very motivated till this time home. Friend of mine Works at a speed shop and gave me the downlow on a spray booth the owner was wanting rid of. So I got some pics and it would work well for my shop. So i went and got it and did some modifications to my powder coating oven

 

[4x4dually]

Nice.

So I have had my toolbox paid off for several years now. And I am like a crack head when it comes to the tool truck. So the wife was good with me building on my current setup. I ordered a new top chest (same model as the bottom) and new locker. After waiting almost 8 months it finally came in. Then ran into a problem since the current setup had a stainless top and the new setup would not allow the holes to line up bolting it all together the stainless top was removed. I have had the top for well over a decade and didn't want to trade it back in on the truck. So I improvised with a spare Sink cabinet that was gave to me painted it black and change the knobs and added the stainless top and now I have another work bench.

 

[4x4dually]

Nice setup.

When we were building our house all of my Tools were in storage. I picked up a small Snap-On Roll cart and added a stainless top. When the shop was built I moved it to the shop. Fast-forward to Current. The old top chest just happen to be the same model as the roll cart. I also had to remove the Stainless top to bolt the other set together. But now having my big box in the toolroom/ machine shop I have a smaller box setup to have next to whatever I am working on, save me some walking. Also Since the cabinet came in a nice bot the kids had to have a play booth.

I finally got around to running some more outlets next to the shop doors. So I don't have to use as much extension cords. I got the mill and lathe kind of where i want them still unsure about the milling machines orientation may 45 it in the corner. Also the wife introduced me to Dirt cheap (amazon and other overstock inventory) and I picked up 2 72" celling fans For like $50 I got 1 up still got to mount the other. They basically look like a flea on a elephant in the shop but IDC
