Fun decision that makes a lot of sense, right? Christmas for my family was a lot of gift card “tell me what you used it for” sort of gifts, which l generally prefer these days.
I have enough to get an electronic drum set I could learn the drums on without annoying the hell out of everyone around me (I could use a headset with them). I do want to learn drums some day, but just for fun. There’s no real goal outside if it looking fun to do.
The quality of pressure washer I would want to use would cost about the same as the drum kit and I cannot justify getting booth right now. I have used pressure washers before and I quite enjoy it. Someday I might even consider a cleaning business, so seeing if the magic grows or fades with a quality unit would be helpful.
I lean towards the later just because I don’t know that I have the room for a drum kit right now. Thoughts, opinions?
What’s your living situation? You mentioned not necessarily having the room for a drumkit. Similarly, do you really have a need for a pressure washer? Do you live on a large property in an area in which the climate necessitates regular pressure washing? Do you have the knowledge and tools to commit to regular maintenance of either the drumkit or the pressure washer? I don’t mean like fully disassemble style maintenance, but whatever is suggested in the owner’s manual.
The closest thing to a need I have for a pressure washer is to determine whether I would like going into pressure washing for a job - which would probably necessitate learning landscaping too at some point, as I am unsure how common pressure washing services are sought after as a standalone thing. I have done a little research in that direction, but not much, since I would need some sustained use to determine whether I would want to really commit to something like that. My thought there was to volunteer services using it for neighborhood/community cleanup, which could build a portfolio if I wanted one, and make the places around me nicer, perhaps. As for knowledge and tools for maintenance, probably not, but I would be able to learn/get what I need in either realm.
well with a pressure washer you can always do some reverse graffiti if you are artistically inclined
Pressure washing is very sustainable as a standalone, and you can make money, even with to afford a drum kit. But if you hate it, you’re not going to stick with it, day in and day out. Then you have an expensive tool you’ll use occasionally. If you won’t stick with drums either, may as well use it on something else that brings you some account of pleasure and gratitude.
