Hi Dick, My whitewash rig is quite simple really. I used a 100 gallon Rubbermaid water trough that I had, and bolted some old boards across the middle . I then bolted a small jet pump , the kind that is mounted on it's own pressure tank , and comes complete with a pressure control switch. Plumbed a pipe with a foot valve down into the trough , about a inch off of the bottom . I just fill the trough about three quarters full of water , and add 2 bags of spray lime per batch. I use a Dry wall mortar stir paddle, in my half inch drive drill . Stir till I figure it is mixed well . Prime the pump before you mix in the lime. I use 100 foot of garden hose with a spray wand that I picked up at a garden center. The wand I have has a shut off on the handle , so if I need to stop spraying to pull hose or move to the other side of the barn , I can just shutoff the flow. None of this stuff cost too much , and is all available from a hardware or feed store . Some things to remember with white washing, Lime will burn your skin , and your eyes, wear some protection . Also fresh white wash doesn't look very white until completely dry, maybe a day or two after you spray it will look much whiter than the day you sprayed it on . And be sure to cover any thing you don't want white, hard to wash off once dry. Bruce
