Sounds intriguing. Any pics?

I surely prefer the self-owned idea but there may be room for the contracted
services for some of us.

I'm not big on cleaning service companies, but with the high price of solvent and
proper disposal (not to mention the nasty job of cleaning out a dirty solvent tank),
the cost can be easier to justify.
There are definite advantages to their owning the equipment as well... if/when the pump,
fire melt or electrical gives up the ghost, they cover the equipment.
