The compressor is diesel powered and is about the size of my Safari van,
maybe a little bigger. The sand hopper is roughly a 10 ft square funnel
at the top that tapers down to an outlet at the bottom.

The guy that operates it has a helmet with a face plate that has a
leather/canvas breastplate and apron. The delivery hose is about the
size of a fire hose. Filtered air is fed to his helmet to make sure he
has good air to breathe.

They sand blasted a friends old VW beetle in about a half hour. I think
almost half of that was prep time.

religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any
other." --John Adams, October 11, 1798
