The Hamilton ACW-5 is designed to accept tokens but it is also designed to recycle quarters. So Marcus (original owner) made this box to catch the tokens and quarters so the coin hopper will not get jammed. So I installed the box today!
Masonry block painting
I painted my entry unit today.
Lowes could not match my sample (first picture) so we found something that looked close: Enchanted Navy!
Touch Free Sign
I installed my “Now Open Touch Free Automatic Car Wash” sign today.
Concrete post
Today I concreted a post for my touch free sign.
Masonry block primer time
I painted the entry unit today with primer which took forever. The Olympic Sealzall was like paste even though it is water based.
Safety-Kleen pit cleaning
I actually paid $600 to get Safety-Kleen to pump out my pit (1800-2000 gallons) today. It took him about 2 hours. Amazing what a huge vacuum truck can suck out.
Program a IDX X-10 coin acceptor
I programmed my IDX X-10 coin acceptor to accept tokens today (in my Hamilton entry unit). It is really not that bad; just check out IDX’s crappy website at http://www.idxinc.com/learn.htm to lean how.
I made $5 and got 2 magnets!
Wow, what a good first day! I got $5 (or more) and 2 magnets!
Maintenance and repair
William made me do all the maintenance on the automatic today and we had to repair some low pressure fittings on the Water Wizard boom.
First Water Wizard Customer!
Well, the first non-paying customer! A guy that comes around the carwash all the time was the first person.
