I'm shopping for a garden hose and while at first I was looking into those light weight expansion hoses, people keep reporting they have a tendency to produce inconsistent streams.
I now see these new stainless steel hoses and I'm intrigued.
I'm looking to hook up one of those power washing attachments with soap dispensers to clean the outside of my place, the windows and screens as well as the porch.

I'd pay good money for one but even the ones I've tried don't make it more than a few summers.
I think it's the sun more than the heat. Put it inside one of those covered hose reel housings or just take it inside the garage when you are done. [Reply]

I have a lot of plants! Most are on drippers/bubblers but I like to supplement some of the fruit or tropical trees with the hose. It's such a pain putting it away all the time. Fuck!!!!!!!! [Reply]
Its over the national average, and still expands just fine... but the stream isn't always so hot these days, at age 50 I'm afraid its maybe time for the doc to take a trip down Moon River

The covered hose reel w/automatic reel from Costco. Life changer. [Reply]

Oohhhhh that does look nice. I might wait until they get the 100' in stock. I have a manual hose reel back there but seriously, it's such a pain in the ass to do that multiple times per week. [Reply]
