Waxman & others, Granted there is a bit of possibly more learning curve ... but I still think that if an person doesn't have too complicated of an operation ... setting up with a database program that can output reports in CSV & accept online financial CSV exports is the way to go. The CPA...

Even though it is extremely rare in our relatively small city ... there was a Jeffrey Dahmer (body parts separated) type of murder less than 10 years ago. The local PD eventually caught the two murderers. Not sure how much we helped ... but the tenacious (to his credit) detective had us review...

About a year or so ago ... when I was cleaning & locking up the laundromat ... about a 40 year old black guy (folding his clothes) & me got into a conversation. I honestly believe he was telling the truth. He said that he had escaped Fidel Castro's regime when he was about 20 years old. He...

Debra & others, A few years ago I posted about a developer-contractor-real estate "hoopie dee do" young glamorized local entrepreneurs company where their concrete boys came in immediately after a tarring of a basement foundation job. The "stickiest imaginable tar not a little bit" in the...

Many of us laundromat owners in the USA & Canadian operators make the waterproof higher denomination coins work. The key is to make sure that when the customer comes they can get an abundance of them via our bill changers. Since ATMs have proven themselves so well ... it would be helpful if...

Dan-Ark, Are you sure that if you have a car wash parts depot (in your state) that they do not charge you sales tax on parts etc? If they are required to charge you ... then my understanding with the new "Streamlined Stipulations" you either will be charged ... by an out of state seller ... or...

Dan-Ark, Even if you are able to have Kleen-Rite not charge you for the use tax portion, for that portion it might be preferable to having you yourself parsing out that portion to send in to your state as the "use tax" part of your tax bill. The somewhat vicious auditor that I got ... went...

Duane, My position on signs is that like many people ... we try to "wing it non reading signs"! Eventually, we tend to pay attention especially if we have some skin in the game in terms of increased cost of using the service or whatever. So I am all in favor of some key well worded...

Dan-Ark, Sometimes ... it can do some good to do a bit of carefully orchestrated worthwhile justified ranting. As someone who was somewhat blindsided by our state (ND) "use tax" going back 7 years back in about 1999 ... I am thinking about the possibility of your state could potentially do...

We are set up with 3 tandem bays. The inside portion of the tandem bays have four 10'x10' overhead doors & for our RV-truck bay there are two 13'x11' doors with the one in front no roof but 8'x20' windbreak fiberglass-redwood homespun structures. Via cameras we can do some closing & opening...

I would be concerned that your referred to lever of having the ability to switch is now removed from future negotiations???

I remember motioning to what appeared to be some rich kid's son to turn down his stereo that was clearly way to loud. I could not have been more gentle & kind. & it usually is enough & just the right touch for most who don't have a malicious intent. The under 30 year old went into a tizzy...

Since 1968 when our SS car wash was built ... we have gone through many episodes of new competition making their big splash. I echo soonermajic ... the part about having to work extra hard possibly for less money for even a few years. Hopefully, it improves within a year or two as reality...

Duane & others, When it comes to some internet connections used remotely at wireless hotspots (guest logins etc) ... I am baffled by how "an IP address not found" can cause an internet connection loss. The cell phone's data plan tends to not do that but it can get a bit expensive leaving data...

Earl & others, That tends to be our "trying to be fair enough" approach also. Too often we get answers stating they are waiting for a ride etc. Sometimes it becomes somewhat of a "cat & mouse" type of game with them lying about being with someone etc. The rest room in our laundromat makes...

Anybody else have so many auto-doors on both ends self service car wash competition ... in your area ... so your customers no longer will use the self service bays when the temperature is below freezing? In other words... we used to have short day wintertime situations where we used the...

The below linked layout tool helped us work with the various specifications from LED light. Distance & coverage are relevant besides the quality Cree or other LEDs. https://www.e-conolight.com/lighting-layout-tool

To the best of my knowledge something has to make glycol, water or actual steam to be effective. Maybe improvising with a wall mount Paloma-Style could accomplish similar to a boiler??? Many brands besides Paloma but similar compact mounting on a wall etc.! I found something interesting on...

Below is the pertinent link. The mounted vertical version of one of these was a good choice for us because of existing boiler capability. Ours uses an inexpensive somewhat universal type of 1/6 HP fan motor. The only part at risk is the fan motor & it is always stocked at our goto electric...

celica, Since we installed our HydroSpray-Mosmatic Z-Booms - the gun hose tends to rest in the best possible out of the way position more than our previous booms. The back wall install for gun holder is different ... it is surprising that you do not still have the option to mount the gun...
