Drop vendor problem

My drop vendor coin acceptor would not accept money.  It would just spit it out.  I really do not remember how to fix this but I will check it out tomorrow.

Rowe changer problem

Error message "BUCKET POWER ON" I just turned the changer off and I will call Sun Coast tomorrow to see what it means.  Greg said it is a bad message.

Cut the side yard

I cut some of my side yard today.  My Dad and Greg said it looked bad.  But my lawn mower and weed eater are in the shop.  So my Dad loaned me his weed eater.

Paint in the bays

Today, I got white paint at one wash and blue paint at the other.  It is great fun cleaning it up.

RO tank install

I am reinstalling the old ro tank and needed to run 1 x 1" line and 2 x 3/4" lines.  I attached the 1" line today.  Also, organized the reject water lines.

Roof-Mounted attic fan

Roof-mounted attic fan at the car wash?  The smaller unit is for 1650 sq. ft. and 1170 cfm for $53.82 and the larger is 2100 sq. ft. and 1500 cfm is $110.

Today, it was 98 outside according to my weep mizer and a thermometer about two or three feet from the roof says it was about 95 inside.

There is already a hole in the roof for the boiler and the fan needs a 14 1/2" hole cut.  Would this really help with the heat?

Rowe changer problems

I ate lunch with my Dad today and told him my Rowe changers were working great after I cleaned them.  Of course they both were out today.  One error "L HOPPER EMPTY" the other "EXTRA COIN-L HOP".  I filled up the changer with quarters and reset.

Air manifold setup

Finished the air manifold today.  Also installed it and hooked up the pumps and tested.  Everything worked great except maybe one of the hydrominders may cause a problem.  The way it is mounted the water line can not be fully opened. 

Air manifold setup

I pieced together the majority of the air manifold today with the parts I just received.  There will be ball valves and check valves for every air line out.  Is this over kill or just right?

Weep system

I got my Dultmeier parts yesterday and I finished off the weep system.  But I did not check the weep system yet.

Another shelf broke today

Another shelf broke today.  I think I need a lot better shelves.

Police called at 10:30pm – Update

I tested the hydrominder today and it defiantly sticks.  Now, I am just filling the tank manually.  Which is no good but it is rarely used.

Expensive box

Expensive box says $105.97.

Broken CoinCo

CoinCo bill acceptor was broken in the Unitec and needed to be replaced.  The first guy who went threw after my Dad finished hooking it up had a new ten.  Of course it did not work.

Police called at 10:30pm

Nothing better then getting a call at 10:30pm form a Police officer telling you that you need to go and fix your wash.  He was really nice and said that he check on it for about a hour and there was yellow chemical coming out of the office.  All was correct.  I made a lot of presoak.  My hydrominder stuck.
