These are the small pictures in the Sml folder. In the parent folder is a subfolder Lrg with larger pictures. The name of each photo indicates whether its a large or small photo. So large and small can be put in the same folder without one overwriting the other.
I named the photos numerically in the order I thought I would use them. But upon putting them on the page and adding story, I discovered I had to rearrange the order of there use on some of them. So BEWARE, the numbers no longer represent the order of their placement in some situations.

We just pulled up to a driveway & sidewalk that need sandblasting to remove the paint that is highly slippery and dangerous when it's wet.
Now its time to start unpacking our hoses. They are big and heavy. Because my sandblast machine is so powerful and fast, it allows me to be less expensive than my competitors. So we fight giant hoses.
Below you can see the driveway painted light gray, that almost looks white.
Our customer, an elderly adorable sweet grandmotherly lady says the painted surface is like ice when its wet. Its smooth and slick. She says she has had many close calls nearly slipping and falling, and she wants the paint gone before she really comes crashing down. She is scared of the slippery surface.
We discussed sandblasting the driveway Traditional/dry style which makes the sand easy to clean up, but makes a little dust during the blasting process.
We discussed sandblasting the driveway wet/dustless blasting style which makes nearly no dust, but the sand is wet, heavy and like mud, which makes the clean up miserable and expensive.
The costs are the same whether we blast it wet or dry. But the clean up process does have a huge difference between wet, heavy, sticky mud or dry easy to blow into the grass sand grains.
I told her I would blow the sand off the driveway into the yard when we are done, for no cost, if it was dry. She liked the price of that clean up so that's what we did.

That's a awful lot of paint to strip off the driveway and sidewalk. But we did it all in less than a day.
Above you can see the grass before we blew the spent sand off the concrete into the grass.
Below is how the grass looks after we blew the spent sand abrasive into the grass. After a couple of rains, the sand grains will work themselves below the grass and fully disappear into the Florida sand.
Blowing dry sand into the grass is the easiest least expensive form of sand clean up.
Dustless blasting, wet sand is sticky and wont blow into the grass. Then you'd need a garden hose or pressure washer to move it and its much less effective. So if you can deal with a little dust, thats the least exspensive form of sand clean up.
