Bought a used wash.

I'm not sure I follow you? What does the sight size have to do with the in bay automatic?

Think he meant small, as in small potential. Which is probably erroneous....

Got the frame up and the machine set.

Started putting wall panels in the self-serve but now the tile looks so dingy above. I wonder if paint will hold up since it won't get wet as much up there.

Know a giy in OkC who painted up high. Lasted pretty good forna # of years.
Did you drill directly into the brick, or put wood over brick & go into wood? What type screws you use?

Paint has held up for me in pretty much the same position on the same block, about 5yr in. Looks a bit darker now but likely just needs a power wash

I screwed it directly to the tile/block with tapcons that they sent.

I wonder about paint adhering to tile though.

I bought this one. It is great for block and putting anchors in concrete. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Concrete/SDS-Plus/2712-20

A latex exterior paint should stick pretty well to the tile as long as it's clean, and when it comes time to repaint it will scrape off easily.

Smart man. I bought the Ridgid one for my tunnel. Went fast. I caught one of my workers using a normal drill attempting to drill into the concrete

I wouldn't do anything to it until you are ready to cover it with some thing like extrutech.

Nobody's really going to look up there anyway, except you. Spend some money on things that are going to make your money instead.

Smart move, every job goes better with the right tool. I bought a Roto hammer about 25 years ago, one of the best tools I ever bought. I’ve just about got it worn out.

Congrats! Renovations are looking superb

Jealous of your Petit machine. If your up and running now please send a vid with that running. Did you quit your job?
