Power washer

    Hi All, An Aussie in Dublin trying to help my daughter and her Irish partner refurbish the garden of a house they just bought. It has a tiny courtyard walled backyard with old tired pavers and a front concrete wall, also dirty and old in appearance. Considering hiring a power washer or borrowing one to clean all of the above, but there is no outside taps. Where do you connect the hoses to...the kitchen tap? Not much pressure there and also no screw on connection. What is the normal method here, cheers and thanks

    If you are hiring one chances are it'll be petrol and will have the ability to suck the water out of a barrel, you could ask for this specifically. Then use something like a wheely bin to store the water. You can get connectors to connect a hose to a kitchen sink but its not ideal.

    If you are handy the first project could be to install an outdoor tap.

    Aldi were selling a powerwasher a few weeks ago for €99 and they are now reduced to €89 in some stores. I have one of these and they are fantastic. They could buy, use and keep, or buy use and sell on when finished with it. Cost of hiring one will be half that price anyway. It connects to a tap, but if you look at the spec. sheet it might well be capable of sucking it up from a barrel. I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Serious power in them.

    50 quid if you can do it yourself....good luck getting it done by a tradesman if you cant (unless you have other work for him at the time to make it worth his while)

    Just saw this post now.
    If you have not done it yet and are in Dublin area give me a shout.
    I will drop over and blast it for you - Have a water butt / tank that I can bring.
    An hour would nail it from your description.
    No charge - No problem.
