Well the water restrictions are confusing people in my area.  I am in Bessemer and Birmingham is running out of water.  So all it took was one person to ask if they were going to shut the wash down and coupled with poor sales (also poor sales on my Mimosa tree chains) made me order the signs.  They were $40 per banner and $10 for the stake signs.  The last picture is someone in my neighborhood breaking the law washing their car at their house.

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.
