So the long term cost of more frequent charcoal replacement is negligible? That probably is another dumb comment from me but understand when Specialty set us up with a much more expensive chlorine tolerant membrane back in 1987 ... that could makes more a difference specifically for us. On...

We have never regretted always keeping two bill changers operational ... it helps if a unforeseen breakdown occurs. It buys the operator time ... if you will. We have the Standard 600EF. I know a lot of people bad mouth Standard's non Mars acceptor approach but the 600EFs have their...

That what we have been using on seven small stainless steel individual tanks for each of our individual Cat 310s since 1987. The valve portion is a Dole Valve. Basically the same that is used on many washing machines but uses 24VAC instead of 120 or 230VAC. The good news they tend to never...

Without getting into details ... it is even tougher when it comes to damage when overhead doors are required because of weather.

A tandem 4 bay here in our small city was converted to an oil change lube ... a bit like Jiffy Lube but not franchised. I remember when the car wash was first built & supposedly such fabulous innovation such as the ability to see out of the adjacent equipment via one-way glass. The customers...

I have posted this before I am pretty sure.. but it has been awhile. When we put in our new car wash equipment back in 1987 ... it was newly configured with multiple small tanks vs 2 huge tanks for soap & water for our original 1968 equipment ... we found out that we had too small of a water...

It varies around the city but most of the time the boulevards are around 16' & they belong to the city. About 16' from the curb to where the actual private property starts. It is not likely that they will be widening the two streets so that will work in our favor for not losing our investment...

I looked at what to expect with the ADA compliant stamped choice if we choose to concrete whole boulevard. It looks like the bricked concrete stamp is what they require if it is not sidewalk. Apparently the year when this Bismarck, ND street was done Bismarck just required a lesser width...

JMUSTANG & others, No asphalt allowed on the boulevard area as far as I know. A neighbor the east of us went with the city's fancy trees on the boulevard approach about 10 years ago ... I notice weeds growing in the area where one of the trees died. Within a day or so ... we will know more...

The joys of working with different gov't mandates!??? Our city has determined that the existing hard surface of the property away from our building to the curb is not good enough. Think in terms of well over $15-$25K in costs. They have a list of 52 lic & bonded by the city that we can...

Ditto on what Sparkey said. That was a good thing when Mep posted about buildasign.com. Since we prefer to do our own sign template or design... it has been a great fit for us. It helps keep our costs down since they run so many discounts etc. Especially for larger than letter size outdoor...

Greg, Higher risk for some localities???

Some body shop friends introduced us to 1/8" bits that are specifically designed for drilling out weld rivets. Small in length ... drill point on both sides ... we found them to be a good starting hole. Otherwise I agree with what the others said. Being a higher denomination coin advocate...

Terio & others, This does not answer your question & the dump station might be a solution ... but just to increase awareness of a past problem that we once had: Over 25 years ago we had an isolated incident of an RV illegally dumping their human waste sewage. Since it was in the middle of the...

Alpine Dreams & others, We had a hit & run from a large semi. We tried to avoid police because we knew which outfit by the color of the truck. The receptionists at the local office lied & said that there was no way they could determine which driver out of their hundreds of trucks. The scary...

Just a thought. I have a decibel meter that is still on standby that I might use my phone audio-video of showing & hearing the perp. Just in case ... he is really bad & on top of that bad news officer or no police officer shows up. I had a real spoiled rotten kid about 30ish who went into a...

I agree with all of the above suggestions & concerns ... but just to add: If you use a wire nut to replace a cut out segment of some wire ... I personally would use a more secure clamp on wire nut such as a Wago. Not all 10-14 gauge stranded wire is of the same quality ... something to be on...

Paul, Bert & others, It appears that you also replaced the circulating pump. The specification for the pump on the original engineering large blueprint from Huron Valley Sales states Pump Head: 31.15 Flow: 32.16GPM. Slab tubing length: Close to 500' of 1/2" Polyethylene Hydronic tubing of...

So nobody has taken their old floor heat boiler for its copper within it to a metal recycling yard for a huge sum of money?
