    Worth installing credit cards

    When I added Bill acceptance I used a separate box from Etowah Valley. Tried half the bays to see if there would be issues, and figured if they attacked the box the regular meter box would still operate and the bay would not be out service. You might want to try such an experiment.

    Vacuums?

    Help drilling out Medico T-handle lock

    Randy taught me how to do the T Handles . I did it on my 4 Coleman Vaults. Only took about 10 minutes each and could have probably been done quicker except i wanted to be careful not to damage the housing so i could put the new tumbler in the old housings.

    "Canned Response" needed!!!

    If I could reach the signs I would go there with a broad marker and cross it out or a sticker and cover it. Make sure the cameras can't get your face or plate!

    Why Steam Cleaning Methods Are Not Used in the Car Wash Industry??

    We had steam in the tunnels in the 1950's and 1960's . In this area they were gone by the 1970's. The machines needed a lot of attention and it was a safety issue. With good chemistry, equipment and HP, steam would not add much efficacy to the cleaning and it would likely add a significant...

    First time EE owner. Any advice is appreciated.

    It's a thought. Market it as a Limited Time Grand opening special and perhaps your competition won't come down to match you. Build volume for a yer or so and then raise.
