Interesting article: They arrived early in weathered vans and pickups, their 40-gallon plastic water tanks sloshing as they pulled to a stop along debris-strewn Belrose Street. A dozen homemade mobile units in all, they collectively created the valley's longest car wash on this homely...

Well, it's been in the works for quite a while now, so here it is, the day-by-day of the building of my new shop. I took over 350 pictures and I had to pick and choose what I'd be posting, so obviously some tasks are missing / left out. That said, enjoy ! :clap: Day 1 Laying out the...

Figured some of you might be interested in my evolution of business cards thus far, and don't mind taking comments. I bought 1000 of these new ones, and I'm pretty happy with them compared to the old ones. Original card is on the bottom, new one is on the top, and front and back are shown. I...
