We hid the rails on the roof of the car wash so we had to get them down today to install (they are very heavy). I rented a fork lift with larger forks, which helped us have a little more room sliding them on the lift.
Water Wizard Preparation – Install day – Rail install
The first picture is Mike (from Premier Car Wash Systems) and Williams marking off before setting the rails. The second picture shows the transit level that I rented from Alabama Rental for around $25 and the third picture shows my awesome laser level Mike used to level off the first rail.
Then, after all the setup, there was a lot of drilling (first picture) and a lot of measuring with a large stick (second picture). Then we were done (third picture) which took around 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Water Wizard Preparation – Install day – BOOM!
The last thing we did today was install the boom and the gantry. The boom was installed by 1/2″ all thread, bolted on both sides, then grinded. Then we added the Water Wizard gantry and we were finished….. for the day.
Vacuum problems today!
At one wash someone stole all my trash and forgot to close the door. At the second wash I replaced one of my motors which is always fun.
2 chairs in one day!
Someone left me a padded folding chair and a baby seat. Actually the baby chair had a name on it: Zoe Morris. Which is nice, but I did not fit in it, so I threw it away.
Rocky Raccoon is dead!
Looks like Rocky had a heart attack, poor Rocky.
Water Wizard Preparation – Drainage
I started digging a hole for my drainage that I am installing. Looks like the hole is going to be a lot larger then this.
Coleman Vacuum problem
My Coleman vacuum had a wire harness problem. It got disconnected somehow. By this harness being disconnected none of the buttons work on the front.
Water Wizard Preparation – Anchors
I went shopping to purchase anchors today. The guide rails (second picture) use 11 anchors per rail and the Water Wizard rails (last picture) use 22 anchors per rail. So I need 66 x1/2 x 5 1/2″ or 4 1/2″. I will know after the install guy tells me which one he wants to use. I also purchased some 1/2 all thread to install the boom and misc. anchors to anchor misc. things.
Water Wizard Preparation – Asphalt
I cut out the asphalt for the drain in front of the bay today. It was fun!
