    Tech Support Contract Options?

    I have one. How about a windy day fix that would close the door if it's really windy? I watch my bug spray and sometimes even foam blow out the back doors on really windy days. I know Mark 7 has one.

    I'm leaning towards wheel brite since that is the name of the chemical that I'm going to try first. Thanks

    signage

    They worked pretty well for the first 6 years or so. The last 1.5 years they have been a pain in the a$$. The week between Christmas and New Years they were driven into 3 times. I don't think that I could do that on a bet but my customers can. I cried "uncle" and pulled them out.

    Cat pump valve orings

    I ordered a "rebuild kit" from KR that was about $75 for my 5cp that was mostly o rings. Can I just buy o rings like that to fix it? Seemed a little steep for o rings to me.

    I pulled my wheel scrubbers off a few weeks ago and am going to start using a chemical to clean wheels instead. My signs say wheel scrub. I need to change that to something different. Wheel spray doesn't really have much pizazz. Any suggestions? Thanks

    floor heat

    I recently had a pm done and he checked the box that said he checked the glycol level but that doesn't mean that he did. How do you check it? I know that I have never added any.

    floor heat

    It's a raypak. I'm blind as a bat so that could be temp although there is another thermometer on the line. There are actually 2 functions on the guage, 1 read 120 the other was not registering. It seems likely that 1 was temp and the other was pressure. It won't be running when I get back this...

    floor heat

    It was running this morning. One line was hot and the other was not. The pressure guage read about 120 lbs. Does that mean anything? Thanks

    He's pulled my a$$ out of the fire quite a few times too and I have never laid eyes on him!

    floor heat

    Well now that it is 55 degrees it will be hard to check! I guess if I turn it on manually I will be able to check the pressure. We are so busy that floor heat is not at the top of my list today!

    Appraising a Car Wash - Cost Approach?!

    I suspect this has more to do with a serious shift in the appraisal business than a change in the car wash business. Appraisers are as much too conservative now as they were too liberal before. The whole lending world has been turned upside down. I can hardly imagine how hard it must be to get a...

    floor heat

    I'm sure that my boiler is big enough. I'm also sure that my motor is running. I'm not sure about the pump. Could be something as simple as a keyway maybe? I will get there in the early afternoon and check. We had a record day friday the broke it yesterday. I don't think we are going below...

    floor heat

    Well Leo I think that it does. I just never knew what it was measuring. I will look tomorrow. The Good Lord took care of the temp today. We had a snow storm Wednesday and it's going to be sunny for the next week. Business should be good! Thanks

    floor heat

    I had already left before I got this so I can't check now but the last time I checked 1 pipe was very warm and the other was not. Does that indicate a pump failure? I know the motor is working. Thanks

    floor heat

    My floor heat has been less than satisfactory this year. Yesterday the boiler went out. I got some phone help and got the boiler relit but I still had ice this morning. It is pumping 110 degree glycol through the system just like always but this year it's not keeping it clear. What goes wrong...

    need suggestions

    If you decide to look at a softgloss I have seen a number of them with VERY low wash counts at carwashconsignment.com. Those things are good for hundreds of thousands of washes. Dont know if it would fit though.

    That was actually the contingency plan.

    camera placement

    It's in the bay. I have my new dvr in now and it is somewhat clearer. It looks like I'm going to be able to read it.

    soft gloss arm issue

    I got it, thanks! I think most of it was getting used to my new camera in the bay.
