How do you know if someone has a theft problem? Check out the sign on the fountain drink machine “Cups available from cashier, Thank you”. Interesting sign. I have never seen that before.
Interesting setup. Just 6 stainless vacuums and 2 different fragrance machines. No other car wash equipment.
I like this D&S Air Freshener “Sweet Mist!”. With different types like strawberry, pinacolada, vanilla, new car and obsession. Obsession? It seems like a nice unit having 5 different types.
A nice car accident. I seem to have been driving to fast to take the picture. I should have slammed on my breaks when driving by, just like the person in front of me.
I think the dumpster people threw away my lock and the bar for my dumpster. But at least my front door to my house is not tagged with “DUB BOY”. I did solve the crime though. I checked out myspace.com and found Dub Boy (real name Tim Rayner he is in a band called “Ruffnek Diskotek”). He must have flown over from the UK and tagged the house (which is right next to my car wash). Or while on tour, Dub Boy got Birmingham Alabama mixed up with Birmingham UK. Or it might be a different guy?
Bob Riley (I like to call him Bobby R or cool hair guy) says “pray for rain to fall from the heavens”. I just thought it was interesting and reiterates the “Bible Belt” label (Alabama). But we do need some rain so people do not think my car wash is closed. Full article here if for some reason you would like to read it “Riley says pray for rain to fall from heavens, Proclamation urges divine request”.
Well my plan to level them out was not that great of a plan. I did not do a very good job. But I did get to use my Ryobi reciprocating saw 18 volt P510. I have never used it before and with 2 batteries I cut through 2 4×4’s. I hope the first battery was half full because the second battery died after 1 1/3 cuts. Impressive. Actually, what a POS, but I guess you get what you pay for?
Well I decided to put up a sign and since I can not dig the hole very deep, I decided to concrete them. (The front of the wash must have been dug up at one time and filled with stone.)
Not to contradict my saying from June 10, 2007 The best kind of Mimosa tree is a chopped down Mimosa tree.. I used the chopped down tree as a prop for the posts, which was very useful.
Someone was trying to break into my Rowe changer? Now the changer does not like money anymore (rejects bills – error message “REJECT-BILL (E)). Also why does every description in the manual ends with “Replace the CCC”?
High pressure hose busted. The first picture it the pump next to the broken one. Then the second picture is the problem.
I had to extend my pressure washer today to be able to reach the back curb. It was fun like normal. The second picture is the before picture the third is the finishing picture. Yes I know I did not finish.
I replaced this leaky swivel today. Also, someone tried to steal my yellow post pretty-fier.
