Water, water everywhere...

August 27th 2009 09:23
One of my wife's prized possessions, until it died, was a water blaster. She was so enthused about it that when she cleaned up the paths around the house with it, she covered herself in a black mucky stuff that was lifting off the paths, and was barely recognisable.

I was just thinking what fun she'd have with one of the pressure washers distributed by Hotsy. (Hotsy? Is that really the sort of name a high-pressure cleaner should have? Apparently it is, in the States.)

These are large systems suitable for cleaning trucks and other big equipment, and if you go to their site, you can even watch a video showing how they're set up. It's not a very exciting video, and it's done with a form of CGI - the only human I saw in it isn't real - but it gives the
teacher, pupils, water pistols
information, and sometimes, particularly if you're a fairly pragmatic person, that's all you need.

It's certainly not as exciting as watching my wife water blast the paths, or the plaster on the house. She throws herself into such tasks with the same sort of enthusiasm small boys throw into the 'task' of shooting water out of water pistols at each other. (Actually, she enjoys that too!)
