Ouch. That'll keep the neighbor's dog and kids outta your yard!

When you think of the damage a regular pressure washer can do to thinks like brick and concrete, it puts it into perspective.

I went to a manufacturing tradeshow last year. A display had a water jet cutting through 1/2 in steel plate.  I asked the guy about it, he said that for the thicker stuff they would have to add some grit to the water!  :O
