Good to know
Book it with a Brushworks operator who runs it every day, or run it yourself once we approve you: $200 a day off, plus insurance by the week ($500 for a one-week renter's policy from our insurance agent and $200 toward the rental coverage we carry on the machine), paid up front with the deposit.
