Interesting problem. The hose I guess is crappy? But the hose was not worn and it is Goodyear push lock. Maybe I should check about the hose.
QPR Permanent pavement repair
Time to try something new like QPR Permanent pavement repair. It is a cold patcher so I could not purchase a flame thrower, which it no fun. I will need to try it tomorrow.
Crack Stop – Test Run – Update
Black Jack Crack-Stop Elastic crack filler update. Not sure if this is what it is supposed to look like. But it seems cracked and collapsed. I guess I needed to apply more filler then I did but it was over flowing. So I guess I need to apply again or try something else.
Look what I found
I found 29 tokens in with my quarters. I guess I am having a problem with a coin acceptor?
Vacuum island cleanup
I thought about not posting these pictures because they are embarrassing. But then I was thinking who cares, I am trying to fix this problem.
I also cleaned up the back of the wash.
Crack Stop – Test Run
I am trying to fix my weed problems by filling in the cracks. I am trying to use Black Jack Crack-Stop Elastic crack filler.
Was easy to apply and I hope it works, I should know in 24 hours.
Poor man’s pressure washer
The cheapest way to have a portable pressure washer? The only problem is the pressure is not that great. It is also not that cheap because the hose it expensive. But besides that, it worked really well. One good thing is I have some extra hose around if something bad happens.
The first picture is a before shot, then an after. I plan on cleaning out the gaps then patching them up.
Installing quick disconnect fittings
My plan is to have quick disconnects right below the swivel saver in the self serve bays. This will allow me to connect stuff in the bay faster. Like a drain snake thing or my poor man’s pressure washer.
Cutting high pressure hose
I was discussing cutting high pressure hose over at autocarwash. Actually, I just posed a question, but I got lots of answers. But, I liked Fred Lenze idea the best. Well he said use a circular saw and I thought about using my crappy Ryobi 18v instead of purchasing a new grinder to replace my Chicago 4 1/2″. I purchased a 5″ cut-off blade and installed the blade.
The circular saw seems to do a good job. Now, I have a battery powered grinder just like the $229 DeWalt?
Mep1, was correct about having the incorrect blade on my grinder. But, I lost my magic piece to get the blade off. I guess, I need to purchase another one if the circular saw does not work. So I might be out $14.99.
Time to cut the lawn
Well, I needed to cut the lawn about a week or two ago. But I used my new Homelite electric mover to cut it. I had to use the electric mover because my John Deere did not work when I tried to start it. It starts then immediately stalls out.
I ran over the extension cord also which is great. Like my fix-it job? I did not have any tape.
