Picked up 1,000 lbs of sand and used 3-400 so far on one rail of the frame using the pressure washer Sand Adapter. Need to get a new suction hose lost my old one. Tried a clear 1/2" tube and it went flat in no time sucking the sand. I then tried a garden hose and the vacuum made it go flatter and slow down the sand. So back to town for a good 25 ft 1/2" hose that is reinforced not to go flat. The rate of sand flow was slowed due to this hose problem. So I have some time into this side but used little sand for this type of tip. Hardest part of the frame to do is the 6X6 end. More surface rust and less good paint on the steel. At this rate it will take a few more days to just get it ready for the last dry sand blast time. It does not flash rust as fast dry.
