:p

Actually, this picture is a better representation of where we're at now, and relevant to purchases - we bought walls to fill in the gaps between the retained land and what we own, and we also bought a new tile band for the pool. Need to have it all rendered and painted now - do we render over render or painstakingly remove what's there already? I don't know :confused:

And a lot of money spent on fancy pictures too

Why would you have a private island that wasn't tropical so you could swim outside? :p

Reminds me when at first lockdown our company asked what they wanted and people said things like chair... monitor... keyboard. I was like, guys, the company is worth like 30bn$. Think MUCH bigger :D:p
 
Laminate flooring in my office to replace the carpet that was there.

We hired a 7000psi petrol jet wash once to clean a very dirty patio. It was like repainting it, unbelievable power.

The fella who delivered it warned us that it was capable of blowing straight through a hand or foot if close enough.

Years ago when I worked for a ultra high pressure water jetting company with machines up to 60,000psi, you could shoot pigeons with them.

The kickback must have been like a shotgun?

It took a lot of effort to hold the guns. But Ultra high pressure doesnt always mean very much litres per minute and its the combination which gives how much force you have.

Very dangerous stuff. People had to wear special ppe as the issue with the high pressure water, even if it wasnt set stupidly high, was that it would break the surface of the skin and basically inject water into your body.

It could be used to cut concrete but mainly we used it for cleaning rubber from runways all around the world from where planes landed.
 
Even a decent commercial grade jetwash will do some serious damage if you put your hands on the nozzle, and the more serious stuff will cut your hand clean off.

When I worked at Boon Edam in Holland I used to use a water cutter that would cut through steel like butter, it was actually really impressive how clean the cut was too.

Here's one cutting through 3" thick aluminium:


Pretty sure I read somewhere that some ocean salvage companies use water jets to cut sunken ships in to pieces for easier removal.
 
This is 40,000 psi with a gun set for paint removal


10,000 psi and high flow rate and the guy can hardly stand


Physics is amazing.
