    Wrong doors on the cabinets . . . same wood, just with panels on them.

    All these cars are hand painted by the two faux painters. . . they did an amazing job throughout. Its hard to see, but the faux has a texture to it.

    I put these opaque glass doors in . . . I wasn't sure how they'd look at first, but I love em now! :)

  2. When Chad and I were crazy to shoot in the winter.... the lights were pretty nice to have after 6pm.

     

    In the center, you can see the targets easily up to about 125 to 150 yards. The 200 yard line was tougher.

     

    If you were shooting in the lanes to the right, there are no light towers there and it was difficult.

     

    I have not shot in the evening in the summer so cant help there, but I am assuming should be good to go.

     

    Ahhh yes, I do remember that cold azz day.


  3. So that was the car wash on the SB side of 35? Next to the diner there? Used to go there sometimes when I lived on W. park Ave

     

    Hey Matty . . . no, thats a different one. We are down about 2 miles past that on the same side. :)

     

    Culture stone is almost done,

  4. Ah, anastasia was wondering where the slave master was.... =P turns out he was behind the camera. =P

     

     

    haha the "slave master" . . . she was not supposed to tell you what her little pet name for me is! :o

     

    Yes, we do pick ups (as long as there is NOTHING in the bed). . . Should be ready to go on the 23rd of July. But I will keep you posted on that, as it stands now we are right on schedule.


  5. Yeah, for a few weeks time. It will really start to fly now.

     

    Right on schedule for the 70 day time frame. I've never seen such a high quality builder before. Amazing work, super impressive, and runs a tighter ship than I do! lol

     

    As you can see by the parking lot, there are quite a few crews working, and this was lunch time! We took over the parking lot next door also heh! LOVE IT!!!

  6. I didn't read thru all the replies, so my apologies if this was covered already.

     

    I have a hard time believing that any pistol is more accurate than another. I think its simply the user using it. One person can shoot accurately with a glock, while another shooter, using the same gun is not accurate. I think its all about "fit".

     

    I'm no expert, just my feeling on the issue.


  7. This is thee most boringest thread in the world! Oh my god, stop the insanity!
    Bite me Raymond! :mrgreen: Like your stupid zombie thread is any more interesting than this? Well, errrr, yeah I guess it is lol.

     

    why does that building look familiar, who did the garage door on that building? (Old Building)
    I have no clue. We just bought this place last year.

     

    Very nice. =) Hope all the best on this project.
    Thanks Makseeeeeeem!

     

    This project looks familiar..
    ?? First time knocking it down. . . but maybe it was discussed before? I know we've had the heated cement conversation in the past tho, maybe thats what yer thinking of?

  8. Very cool Chad,

     

    I'm actually surprised more car washes don't use radiant, it should speed up your time before opening after a storm, plus your crew is going to love it.

     

    If possible, ( if you have an option) use as much insulation(not bubble foil) as you can under the slab. I asked about the hot water because they do make electric heating blankets for use in a slab, I believe they would be a very poor choice. Most likely, you will be using hot water with 50% ethylene glycol anti-freeze

     

    Now if you could just invent a way to wash my truck (utility body with ladder racks), I would be a happy man

     

    How many BTUs of heated slab?

     

     

    I have it at 3 other locations already, its amazing. Its not so much for after a storm (because the roads themselves are still wet, etc and we don't open anyway) but more just for freezing temps. Cars come out wet and dripping, which results in ice on the ground. We were constantly throwing salt down, which doesn't sit to well with people that just paid to have their car cleaned. lol . . . it gets on their shoes, and then they get into their clean car. When its below freezing, the heaters kick on, and the entire front and back slabs remain ice free all day. As far as the BTUs I have no idea. . . I will have to look on the spec sheet for what we are putting in at this location. Not sure what we have at the other ones either. I'll find out. :) I was able to dig up a pic I took over the winter after a snow fall. You can clearly see where the heated cement ends and the asphalt begins lol. . .

  9. Here u go Matt. . . these are old plans, much has changed, but you get the gist.

    Brisco, I've looked into it. I would have to have the entire roof covered in solar panels, and it would only cover approx 10% of the cost to operate the system. Not that it matters, but it actually runs anti-freeze.


  10. Nice work Chad. There are plenty of places in your area to fish, I have actually been hitting some of them recently, since I work out that way now.

     

    Fill me in on the hot spots! I've been out of the loop for a long time, I'm not sure whats really around here. . .

     

    Where were you fishing?

     

    I was at monmouth battlefield state park. Planning on going to turkey swamp park tomorrow.

     

    I thought they looked like pike, but I've only ever fished for Northern Pike..looks similar but the color of your fish is lighter and the head appears bigger. It's got the same head profile and the long body. Very close but not quite the same.

     

    That's chad.. the fish on the other hand is a fine looking species.. :mrgreen:

     

    looks like you had a good day out fishing..

     

    LMAO Tony, are you saying I am not a fine looking species???


  11. Construction has finally begun in Oakhurst. Demolition / equipment removal started on Monday and final clean up will be completed by tomorrow. Next is construction / site work. Every square inch of curbing, cement and blacktop is getting removed and replaced with heated cement. Anticipated time frame till completion is 70 days.

     

    Oh, and yes, that is yours truly operating the hoe! :)

    Anyone who is curious why I decided to leave one wall (and two small pieces of side walls) standing is because if we were to knock those down it would no longer be considered a re-model. It would then be considered new construction, many more permits, more planning board meetings, zoning, etc. If you leave 3 load-bearing walls up, it is only considered a remodel.
