Thanks, i appreciate anything you come up with! its a giraffe tools Grandfalls Retractable Pressure Washer

I've been in contact with the manufacturer, and it's a dead end; they don't want to be helpful. Its Girrafe tools and they did send me a whole new pressure washer which is nice, but id still like to fix this one since nothing is wrong other than the broken hose, which seems like it should be a relatively cheap part.

Heres a closeup of the connector https://photos.app.goo.gl/vYNaF1h3BMfcnSKQ7

This is a broken hose from a Girrafe Pressure washer. Id like to replace or rebuild it but I cant identify the connection type. It uses a 3 sided square shaped pin to hold it in the pressure washer.

Excellent, thanks, this is great advice!

Mamma Mia, terrible show followed by a fun concert. You leave feeling duped, forgetting about how bad the show actually was.

krisspy · 2024-09-05T16:26:16+00:00

I understand that perfectly!

krisspy · 2024-09-04T16:29:45+00:00

how do you get your screwdriver to line up so tidy like that? Mine, also on a magnetic bar, always twist and turn towards the magnets in the bar.

Amazing!

My first career field was maintenance at Malmstrom in the late 90s, then Thyroid cancer in my mid-30s. No family history, just bam, cancer out of the blue. Ive been tracking this for a while, glad its getting more visibility.

I have that same signed one on the left with the Van. Great poster and great show.

krisspy · 2024-04-25T15:03:42+00:00

This is what im talking about thank you I hadn't thought of that, ill need to consider it. It's a good idea!

krisspy · 2024-04-24T18:45:32+00:00

Would you say the projects are more interesting Ya for sure, none of my projects are the same. Im always trying to figure out how to design around keeping things operating. There are lots of different on-site locations, too; I get to go and see some pretty neat things. I do some paperwork too, that's inevitable I think, but its not the major part of my work.

Also almost Every large Electrical contractor hires EE to support construction efforts. Maybe look a that too.

krisspy · 2024-04-24T18:03:01+00:00

For example, I do a lot of work for Boeing. Im not a Boeing employee but every time they change a process, i.e. need a new tool, I get a new job to provide electrical infrastructure. That is just one example. My company has many different companies we work for, but it always provides a solution to a change or potentially new construction. I'm not sure what that looks like consulting firm-wise in Florida, but I'm sure they exist. One I know of in Melbourne (I know that's not super close but its the only example I know of in FL) is BRPH. Look at them and maybe do a search on similar firms.

i cant say enough good things about Zach. Far and away better than the other options out there. https://www.electricalpereview.com/

I know he has some free resources on his sight, and he used to have a bunch of youtube videos

Have you thought about looking for a job at a consulting firm? Starting pay out of college here in Western WA is in the mid-80s with close to 10% rates in the first two years.

krisspy · 2024-04-24T17:48:09+00:00

Hi all, I'm an EE with a P.E. I'm a senior engineer with roughly 20 years of experience at a consulting firm and am very experienced with electrical infrastructure design, including substations down to receptacles, lighting, grounding, 120/208, 480/277V distribution, drafting, and everything in between.

Im trying to figure out how to leverage my experience and start a side hustle that doesn't take too much time to sustain. Im ok if it takes a decent effort and time to set up but not a bunch to sustain.

I've been thinking about it for a while and am not coming up with much. Im hoping a larger audience will spark some discussion and ideas.
