    Next Project Wash....

    Yes sir closed today. I'm sure your son that works in the area knows more or less where this wash is. Being so close to the other one I had to pull the trigger on it. Took some time to track down the owner but finally found them.

    Next Project Wash....

    I think the market would do good with an automatic but right now the plan is to keep it all self-serve. The property next door is a house that was converted to an office. I know the Bank of New York Mellon owns it, meaning its been foreclosed, so I am hoping that it will hit the market soon...

    Next Project Wash....

    Well I didn't want APW to have all the fun with his remodel so I bought another wash. This one is located 5 mins from my latest wash and has been closed down for years.

    Remodel

    Between a good power washing and 2 coats we finished in a day. Also we had to make a few repairs prior to painting so that took some time as well. No taping just a couple large paint shields and 2 paint guns going. I figured your looking to spruce up the new wash.

    Remodel

    Muratic acid and a high pressure power washer, I think it's 3000 psi with heat. Yeah thats the old roof (went cheap there prbly should of replaced it in hindsight) but with a quick wash and new paint makes all the difference. All the customers complimented me on the place as well and revenue...

    Zips carwash(tunnel / express)

    Oh agree 110% bc I figured as low as interest rates are today that is fuel driving these frothy valuations in stocks and real estate both residential and commercial. This isn't 2003 - 2006 again back then you had terrible underwriting with greedy border line predatory lending driving up RE...

    Zips carwash(tunnel / express)

    And according to their market cap $4.4B ÷ 342 locations that car wash is worth on average approx 12.8 million of course take out some "good will" and let's say "bricks and sticks" worth $10 million....I think I'll watch this stock go up a little here in the next 6 to 9 months then buy short...
