I cut out the asphalt for the drain in front of the bay today. It was fun!
Water Wizard Preparation – Removed stuff
I removed the bay signs and foam brush holders today.
Water Wizard Preparation – Concrete plan
My plan for the rear of the automatic is to install a drain in between the bay slab and the slab that I am going to pour. This drain will need to be routed around the side to the pit drain. Sounds like fun!
Water Wizard Preparation – Asphalt
Using the pickaxe I was able to get large chunks of asphalt after I cut with my Hitachi dry cut masonry saw CM 4SB2.
I broke my 2.5 pound pickaxe, sawed my saws cord and sawed my extention cord.
So I had to purchase a 5 pound pickaxe, which I bent somehow, but I completed my mission today.
Water Wizard Preparation – Asphalt
My concrete bay at the carwash is a little short (30 feet) and I need to make some concrete footers for the entry gate. I need to cut the asphalt then dig it up to pour the concrete footers (3 feet from the concrete bay). I am not really sure how to do this but I purchased a DeWalt XP Diamond blade (DW4701) for my grinder. My plan is to cut the asphalt with the grinder then pick axe and shovel the asphalt out?
Water Wizard transfer day
We rented a Penske 24 foot truck, blue dual axel trailer, and fork lift today to move the Water Wizard.
William just put the gantry on the trailer and strapped it down with 4 2″ tie downs, which we purchased from Lowes.
The pumping station went into the back of the truck along with the rails, entry gate, etc.
It was a long and bumpy road and my back is going to hurt tomorrow. “Air Ride”… I say back breaker.
William moved the gantry off the trailer without any problem!
Thanks again William and my Dad for your help today.
My plan sunk like the Titanic!
Today, I had everything all planned out with moving all the Water Wizard equipment. I rented 2 flat bed trailers and a fork lift. The only problem was, out of the 2 trucks we had, neither could pull the fork lift.
So instead of using AABCO Rents, the plan sunk like the Titanic slide in front of Alabama Rentals; where I ordered and confirmed the delivery of the fork lift and this cool blue trailer tomorrow.
I also brought home some Water Wizard accessories and some self serve stuff today.
By the way thanks again Greg for letting me borrow your truck.
Moody tear down fun?
William did some demo to remove the Hamilton entry unit.
I removed all 4 meter boxes today, which was really not that bad.
We also moved the Water Wizard pumping station over the pit today, which is great. The last picture shows the stuff I got today.
