TWO BUILDINGS WITH TWO LOTS AVAILABLE!!!!!!!!

The back building has two bays and plenty of storage, could be used for detailing (has separate sewer, water hook-up) or rented out separately. The large front office used to be a separate business and could easily be rented out again or used for retail space. Across Water Street is the second parcel (over 2,000 sq ft) with more than ample parking and tire storage trailer. Ingersoll Auto Glass is also operated within Ingersoll Automotive. The current owner has established a large customer base with fantastic google reviews and repeat clientele. The online security system links to your phone for peace of mind. This is a must see property for anyone that wants to continue growing this business. The possibilities are endless!! The current owner/mechanic would entertain staying on and has over 20 years experience and a great rapport with the current clients.

Here is a handy checklist for spring home maintenance. I would add power washing to this list! You can rent one from Home Depot for about $50 a day and it really can make a huge difference.

Scared to use a power washer? Here are some tips

How to!!
- Start from top and work downwards
- Use overlapping passes to avoid streaks and lines
- for overhangs and gutters, maintain a 45-degree angle
- if in doubt, start with a lower pressure tip and gradually increase
- start in a inconspicuous spot to test the pressure
- for wood (deck or fence) use a sweeping motion along the grain of the wood and keep the nozzle moving at all times, keeping a low angle at a distance of 12-18 inches.

AND WEAR NON SLIP ENCLOSED FOOTWARE AND SAFETY GOGGLES AND DON'T POWERWASH ON A LADDER AS THE PRESSURE CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR BALANCE!!

Nozzle tips - which one do I use? A wider spray equals faster cleaning and a tighter spray equals a deeper clean

Black tip (65-Degrees)- widest and most gentle stream. Good for applying detergent and rinsing soap

White tip (40-Degrees) - for cleaning delicate surfaces that can easily be damaged, such as siding or soft stucco walls, cars and boats

Green tip (25-Degrees) - General cleaning like outdoor furniture, brick patios, walkways and decks

Yellow tip (15-Degrees) - Heavy duty spray for garage floors or removing stains from concrete

Red tip (0-Degrees) - I advise you leave this one alone unless you are quite experienced with power washing: i have never needed to use this one, it is super powerful

To anyone that uses a welder!! What is a good mask that actually allows you to see what you’re doing but also protects your eyes and face? Walter ends up not using one as the one he has he can’t see through it well enough. It’s supposed to darken and all but his face is now peeling again!! There has to be something better out there!! Thanks in advance!!
