If you employ a labourer you will pay him let's say 250 a week?thats 12000 a year.with a machine and everything you need to start you off spraying,there's the cost of the set up.
I used to have a guy on the mixer and another carrying buckets up the ladder.now I have a apprentice operating the machine,1 spraying,1 ruling.

Still a man operating the machine..
I do see the benefits for sure but I don't see the economic benefits unless you have copious amounts to go at?
I would love a machine but couldn't justify the outlay and the maintenance cost
How many render job would you say a year would make it viable?

yes sure is a waste of money having to pay someone to split bags into the machine!!!
When you say copious I guess your thinking site work?
sites would be nice but ppl do tend to want a proper job on one off outside renders, that is where I think the ritmo will pay, I have barely used mine ,mainly on inside at the moment and I have already seen that the machine eliminates an extra man and also cuts the time down to half.
So that let's me double my work load each year meaning that 10k outlay on my ritmo is a sound investment.
even if it's sick at the moment:RpS_crying:
i hope not.Oh dear expensive fix?
