I had to install the top of the entry unit because I was stupid and paid the block guy all of his money already. It was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it also does not look as good as it could look. I am going to paint the whole thing blue I think.
I hooked up all the chemicals today and also ran all the hoses to the chemical drums.
William came over today and helped troubleshoot some problems and fix stuff.
Greg came by the carwash today to help us troubleshoot my water pressure problem. His idea was to get a water pressure gauge and see what the water pressure is before the regulator (hose bib) and before the Water Wizard hydrominder. It ended up that I was getting 90 psi before the regulator and 40 psi before the hydrominder. Then we decided to remove a large inline filter and the pressure jumped to 60 psi. This jump in water pressure to 60 psi with the 1″ water line allowed me enough water to keep up with the high pressure functions.
I finally finished removing all the rocks today, which was fun!
William installed the rail heat today along with the home and away things (second and third picture) for the automatic. The rail heat is installed inside the rail and is a copper line. The home and away things make sure the gantry does not go to the end of the rail and shut down.
Not mentioning any names, Dad, but we got the wrong measurements for the eyes. So William moved the eyes and the treadle today.
