Snow Plowing Plowing your own lot makes a ton of sense: saves big bucks, limits damage from the pros who's time is money and what else can you with those conditions? Been doing mine for the last 15 years and am now looking for a replacement rig. The best part is having it in the driveway at...

We're considering solar power for an interior lit sign and LED digital clock. Total wattage will be around 200. We've got a few intersections in the area that have solar powered flashing lights, so I tracked down the supplier. They were interested in providing components but not in the design...

Remind him that his cell phone records will be subpoenaed if this goes to court. Willing to bet he'll reconsider his position. How in 'ell do you hit a building? Was the skier injured?? (Sorry, just made me think of Foxworthy) MC

Storm Hyper has been working so well for us, we're using it for bugs, wheels and SS pre-soak. Haven't tried it in the IBA yet, but headed that way. MC

Touchfree isn't "totally bogus". Some customers won't use friction, others are willing to accept 90% if it's convenient and priced right. They can come close, but nothing cleans as well as friction. Certainly, touch-free chemicals can be a little more potent than most of us feel comfortable...

I guess I missed the "express" component. When we do a complete interior service, it's taking 5-7 man/hrs., but we like to keep the vehicle as long as possible to control the drying process. This usually isn't a problem for most customers who drop off on the way to work and pick up after...

Nice looking facility with impressive exteriors. What's missing is the action. How much manpower does it take to achieve that finish in 30 minutes or less. What is the average man-hrs spent on an interior, exterior and complete detail? The demand for detailing seems to be growing despite the...

I'm headed in that direction as soon as I can find a reasonable internet provider. Two of the big three don't service our area. If a "land line" is of any use, check out "ooma". For the cost of the equipment you can have phone service with no monthly charge. MC

Just wondering who's using what for their systems. I'm looking at an H.264 DVR. Is a Linux based OS better or worse than Windows in terms of on site use and remote monitoring. Some sources are advertising PDA and smart phone accessibility, which would be very handy. Anyone utilizing this...

Does anyone have any experience with sealing(?) the top deck of a sailboat. Looking for a product that will impart a gloss, as in waxing, but not make the surface slippery. Thanks. MC

WD 40 didn't touch it. Goof-Off worked better, but took some of the texture with it. We decided to leave well enough alone. Thanks, again, for the suggestions. MC

Forgot to mention that pumps would have separate intake lines at about the same elevation but opposite on another. Glad to hear someone has done this successfully. Thanks for the feedback. MC

I have two different sized Hydra-Cells sitting back to back and am thinking of connecting them to the same cylindrical 175 gal reservoir tank. This would double the reserve capacity and create more head. It would also eliminate one valve and hopefully reduce water pressure drop throughout the...

HELP! '05 Honda Element came in today for a waxing. Customer asked about removal of thread-like material that was stuck to the paint and plastic trim ( been there for a long time, according to customer). We were able to literally chip it loose from the paint, but from the plastic it could...

RE: Tunnel Watch Problem I think I may have dodged a bullet on this one. The computer screen hieroglyphics have cleared and it's been completely normal since last Thursday. I believe that problem was temperature related. The office has not been above 60 degrees in months until the unseasonal...

A similar incident occurred yesterday. We did take off the lower half of the rear license plate frame, but customer was convinced that we also caused the buckle on the top of the bumper cover where it seams with the fender. When I pointed out the scuff and cracked paint on the right front of the...

Thanks, one & all. Talked to my distributor's tech this morning and he suggested the video card also. The system is 3.5 yrs old. Will get more tech data when I hit the site later today. MC PS> shut computer off last night and the screen was okay at start-up this morning, but after several...

Great resource. And, if you can find a serious athlete who has the time, there's nothing you can ask of him/her that a coach hasn't already. Our world is a piece of cake. MC

Swapped monitors this morning; problem persists. Top half of screen is illegible due to black spaces and characters which include arrows, male & female symbols, faces, spades, hearts, musical notes,...... Is my hard drive about to crash? I'd like to reboot the computer but I'm afraid TW won't...
