Hi George, that is some sound advice so thank you, im actually a lot clearer on the process now for sure! yeah i definitely would like a powerful machine as i always want things done yesterday but its interesting to understand the differences in speed, extraction....hmmmmmm im hoping to house the machine in my garage until (hopefully) i can turn this into a money making venture and move it to a unit! would this be safe in the garage if i pop a hole in the wall?
