  • Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
  • So, in April a medium-sized SUV crashed into one of my carwashes doing $65,000+ or more in damage. It's resulted in a police investigation, insurance investigation, a forensic audit and MAJOR construction work.
    0:00 - Intro
    0:45 - On the scene of the wreck
    2:15 - Construction Montage
    4:50 - Current state of affairs
    7:10 - My proposal to watchers
    9:44 - The $1 60,000+sf Warehouse
    I haven't been able to post things till the insurance stuff cleared and we had a better handle on what was going on. I've spent quite a few weekends since then working on things, and pretty much every single Friday as well.
    So, IF YOU WANT TO HELP with regards to the equipment construction issue, please contact Belanger in Northville Michigan and check into working for them on the 2nd shift. We've been told by our local sales rep at Ohio Carwash that this is kind of the linch-pin in getting our $250k automatic re-opened. AND IF YOU HELP MAKE IT, I'll add you in the credits of the next video!
    If you've ever wanted to get a business of your own and have adventures like me, consider my course at InvestmentJoy.com/course and use the code "EXPENSIVE" to get $45 off!
    YOU SHOULD GET LIFE INSURANCE, and if you do, get it from our sponsor, Ladder Life at InvestmentJoy.com/insurance who personally covers me for only $32/month for $1 million dollars of coverage!
    I'd love it if you joined our discord, where I have one of the biggest finance/business channels online! / discord

      The insurance from the car would pay for the fair market value of the damaged equipment, so whatever the cost to directly repair or replace that same system. Not a major upgrade system. So they will pay out that cost of the repair but that will only cover around 20% of the cost of them putting in a new upgraded system.

If the Factory is having trouble finding people, then most likely they don't pay their workers well, or its a horrible environment to work in.

    As a soon to be retired industrial mechanic I've learned to always put penalties in the purchase contract for not meeting the delivery date. These companies that do high dollar equipment builds of low volume equipment sales never have enough orders too keep enough skilled workers staffed to meet turn times. They always rely on unskilled temp workers to perform master level tasks and lay them off as soon as the build is done. They also have lousy engineering support and you will have problems getting it up and running. Best to plan on having one of their techs on site for the setup (usually costs extra).

    My advice, as echoed by others below, would be to sue for not only damages, but also lost income / revenue, etc. With clear video from your surveillance system (as evidenced by the guy who attempted to break in), not only is the individual easily identifiable, but the license plates are clearly visible. It's a very simple process of running the plate, getting the name of the individual who corresponds to said vehicle / plates, and going to court with all necessary documentation. You should have the individual "Dead to Rights", as the saying goes. Having spent nearly two decades in the Criminal Justice field, I would imagine that you would not only have a solid case, but counsel would urge their client either to settle, or you could, conversely, sue their insurance carrier to cover the aforementioned damages and losses of income / revenue.

    Asking your viewers to work at a factory you know nothing about is very bizarre. If the factory is having trouble finding people, then most likely working conditions are awful or they aren't paying enough money to draw in the type of skilled workers they need. You promoting the factory on this channel is very strange - especially if you don't actually know if the factory is a good place to work.
    You should be calling the factory to demand they maintain the end of their contract, or cancel the order and find another business that can actually deliver in the specified time frame.

    replace. Even if repaired the life of the equipment would be extended only so much and less than if it was just a refurbishment that might have been 5-10 years out. So spend more than it would have cost to refurbish the equipment to get a lesser time or get something that may last longer. From an asset management point of view, the damage to the equipment calls for new. It was what about 30 years old, so time it was going to need some TLC to get through another 10 or 20 years before being totally worn out and incapable or being refurbished. So the question is can that new car wash bring in $2,000 over costs a month to pay itself off in 10 years. Now for insurance you could go for the difference between the new equipment and the old for the expected life time of the old equipment. You incurred costs that were not coming for another 10 to 20 years, but may be off set by how much it save in operations and maintenance costs. You may have to check the BOP to see if it has a section for loss of revenue.

      My husband can't get parts for his repair business. It started about 2 months ago. In over 20 years he has never not been able to get parts. He worked everyday during COVID (people needed repairs) and suddenly the end of March 2021 the suppliers all were running out of parts. The factory is still open and the one my husband toured pays a living wage in a rural area. The employer wanted to pay more but health insurance costs have risen so high that fewer raises are given because thr raise is basically keeping your health insurance paid for. My husband struggles to get us coverage being self employed (we pay over 30k a year for basic coverage for a family of 4) and this factory showed him that the health insurance and other benefits and taxes and workers comp were higher then the wage so if they paid an entry level high school degree only employee 50k a year, it cost over 100k a year to have that employee. The factory he toured was in the Southwest and had only one health insurance option to buy that has gone up over 10 times what it cost 10 years ago. I believe this has to be partly true. We live on the border of 3 states and the wages vary by which state you work in, same job like fast food or retail (not factory), same company, but the company claims it is the cost of doing business, mainly health coverage that makes wages $2-5 an hour different at entry level.

    I think that you made the right choice with the car wash. Not only will it all look new, but you will get new technology and options for the customer. I am guessing that with the old machine you would be able to fix the damage, but when it is all apart, you will find other parts that need replacing also. Where as with a new machine, you can offer the customer new features, and you won't have to replace old parts all of the time. A good example is the pay station that you replaced for it. New machine, and you should not have to chase over there unjamming it nearly as often.

    When I was a transit bus driver,we had a bus mechanic from another depot that took a bus into our carwash while the one at the other depot was being repaired,he didn't pay attention to the slight incline at the beginning and pushed the throttle completely down,it started going sideways and kept the throttle down and it went thru the sidewall and into the tire shop and out, pushing 3 bus's into each other that were next to the tire shop waiting for tires, afterwards it took 5 tow trucks to remove the bus out of the wall, away from the damaged bus's,tow the damaged bus's to central maintenance for repairs, they found out later that he was talking on his cell phone and not paying attention to what he was doing when he started pulling it into the wash,it took from mid April until end of September to take the building down and rebuild the building and replace the wash,the company fired him because he didn't pay attention and for using the cell phone on the job without the phone call being a company call

    Northville Twp is about 2 miles away from my apartment. Aside from vacation, sick days, and holidays, I haven't had a single day off during the entire pandemic. Programming, my field, is booming because people are trying to do everything from home, and they are doing that using software. I'd say that in Michigan people are sick and tired of manual labor and want to join us techies working from home. People stopped buying American cars, factory workers in Michigan got the shaft, and thousands of families were plunged into poverty. Nobody wants those factory jobs anymore, at any pay, when they can be ripped away on a whim and sent to China. The last jobs done by human beings will be programming, before machines take everything over and we become extinct. Short answer: Keep waiting!

    I will be very interested to see how the radiant heat works out.
    Just a hunch based on not a ton of experience, unless you are running super high water temps there isn’t going to be enough heat. Normally in snow melt systems you see large tubing (5/8) spaced a lot closer.
    You *may* be ok with the portion that goes inside but the outside portions probably wont perform. You may also have to run your boiler in an inefficient temp range (above 140F assuming a condensing boiler). Hopefully i am wrong.
