    Ideal equipment room length and width.

    I'm really considering a loft also and a bathroom. I figure 40 ft x 16 ft wide to park my skidsteer with inside change and vending room.My current wash has inside changer and vending ,really cuts down on the weather factor. Winter here is 8 months it seems.

    Poll: Do you clean your car wash pits yourself?

    I have cleaned my pits for over 20 years,on my 2nd ring-matic 750. I pump in the evening when wash has slowed down. I paid off first pumper in 2 1/2 years pumping my 3 washes and hiring out too. I didn't pump sewage tanks.

    Major life decision

    Express market appears to be overbuilt,like the ss and iba market in the past. As your an investor,buy one and find out for yourself. As the saying goes `stay in your own lane`.

    Cleaning Vacuum Coins from collections bins

    My clean up guy did collect the coins one time and wasted an hour picking thru it.Told him to take dirt home to do it.We clean 1x a week and throw it all away.If quarters are easy to see and not dirty might get a few,otherwise waste of time to collect. To each his own.
