And that includes today.
As we wait for some project details to get finalized, we are staying closer to home base getting some other backlogged stuff done.
One thing I used to do a lot of is work on carwashes. In addition to doing regular electrical repairs or additions, it turns out my background in building custom mass production machines and fabrication are well suited to repairing, maintaining, and building car washes.
Today was a carwash day.
We had to wire in this rather large reverse osmosis unit.
Fun fact:the typical R. O. Unit in a Carwash used to help get your car a spot free rinse produces water of such high purity it’s actually dangerous.
You certainly wouldn’t want to drink it. And if it gets on your skin it’s an irritant. Plumbing the lines with anything other than plastic, high grade stainless or brass results is rapidly destroyed plumbing. The ultra high purity water is so devoid of anything it tries to fill that void by leaching out whatever it can from anything it contacts for any length of time.
We did some pretty decent conduit work today, but you can’t really tell in pictures because the entire area is so busy with all sorts of other plumbing it all just looks like a mess. And some of it kinda is. 😬 So no cool conduit pictures.
I can show you what happens to a mini motor control center that was only just barely big enough when it was installed, and around 15 years of additions, changes, and some questionable work by others looks like.
And that’s even after I have cleaned it up as best as possible with the limited down time it gets a couple times here and there over the years.
It’s a bit messy and crowded, but it does run day in and day out generally without issues.
