Have you ever wondered how a Twice the Ice, ice machine / vendor worked? Have you ever wanted to watch a video on how Double the Ice comes out of the little house? I know, why would you? But I made a video for the one person that is interested. I get a lot of people searching for information so I thought, why not make a video?

I know I must be overlooking where to purchase these, but I can’t find them. I find these ever once in a while on the ground but I would like to purchase some. (Disclamer: I believe that Jesus does not condone littering.) Little-trees.com sells a different design (right image) but I like the yellow one better.
I am having a check valve problem so I replaced it today. I took the check valve apart to see if I could figure out what was wrong. The valve was on tire cleaner and there was no crap stuck in it. Maybe the spring in messed up? Or probably a check valve is stuck in a bay but I can not figure it out yet.
Is this possible to replace the ends of the fluorescent light fixture so I do not need to purchase these commercial bulbs (Home Depot sells replacements)? The last picture should have shown 2 wasp nests inside the fixture, that is great!
It has been 4 months that the PEX has been in pure concentrated tire cleaner and it seems like everything is fine. It still had its color and you could bend it. My plan was to use it for chemical pipe to the bays.
The “Push” door is on a A shaped bracket with a metal prevention setup. The metal piece (to prevent theft) goes flat to the bucket edges (2 and 3 picture). The last picture shows the plastic piece that prevents the “Push” door from getting jammed to far in the machine. Or at least that is how I think it works.
Well, I guess this is a problem? Unless someone minds getting foam all over them? I just had to cut the hose to fix the problem.
Well, I purchased some garbage can lids from Greg’s brother technically. Greg gave them to his brother and I actually purchased them from Greg. But they used to be my Dad’s garbage can lids from his Valleydale car wash, which Greg replaced with the tepee type lids. Right? Well, I have them now, which is good. Thanks Greg and Greg’s brother!
Greg told me to purchase a SDS drill and I purchased this DeWalt D25313K Heavy-Duty 1 inch SDS L-Shape 3 Mode Hammer. I love these SDS drill bits and I guess the drill and my cheap Harbor Freight drill bits ($10 a piece, 42639, 42651 Drill Master masonry bits) are good. Why does every drill bit not use this system. The second picture shows the SDS bit layout, it consists of a locking mechanism. The third picture shows the chuck, which you just jam the drill bit in and it clicks in place. The fourth picture shows how you remove the bit by just pulling the chuck back. This system is just for masonry bits I guess, but why?
I did actually use the drill and I mounted and reinforced some stuff. The last picture is all the crap I needed to install a couple screws.
