Today I decided to cut boards so I would not fall in the pit in the equipment room. As long as you are careful it is no big deal! This was from when someone stole all my grates and I had to use the equipment rooms and some spares I had. (Pit was 13″ wide and I cut the boards 12 3/4″)
Actually, I hate raking leaves! I wish I did not have any trees at all at my house. Then I would never have any mess in my yard. Okay back to the carwash…. someone was raking leaves and decided to dump them mixed with household garbage, HEY! Yes leaves got everywhere because that box is totally ripped.
Another rainy day! Not good for the car wash business.
Looks like this person has a problem with people entering their house? Does this person have a problem with their garbage pickup also?

The Erie Brush vacuum hoses almost made it 2 years. I think that is pretty good? But looking at the vacuum hose closer the yellow does not look so good. I probably should have purchased a different color or already replaced them.
I installed the multi-stage pump today on the D/H stand! I was a lot of trouble because it did not fit the first time. I then had to take everything apart and remove one fitting and try again.
To install my new Marathon motor and Multi-Stage Motor, I purchased some 5/16-18 stainless steel hex cap screws, flat washers and lock nuts. Why would the manufacture (Hillman) package the hex cap screws in a pack of 3, the flat washers in a pack of 5 and the lock nuts in a pack of 5? Does that make any sense? I need 8 of each so I need 2 packs of lock nuts, 3 packs of screws and 2 packs of washers?
Look and see if you can spot the problem with the vacuum motor. The dome on the vacuum was luckily not hurt. I also added a new gasket. I stuck it on the vacuum motor just like Greg taught me! JK Greg.
Too bad I’m old, but it does look like fun. I don’t think I have seen 4 jumpers side by side before.
Which is more fun? I pick…. being at home!
