Offering £££ for a tidy up of van 1h from surrey ill go
« on: December 11, 2018, 02:55:53 pm »
Thought I would just put it out there
Basically someone who's good at van mounts and enjoys doing it. Negotiable but willing to pay a reasonable amount of money.

I need the plywood on floor everything taken out everything painted watertight. The pumps probably moved the battery probably moved hose reels screwed in just things like that really
Know your stuff with the AC current and stuff like that.
If there's any one that likes doing this sort of work and wants to earn some money and help out as well please get in touch and I'll call you straight back or leave your number here or email
next year I'll probably get a citroen Dispatch  and would like it all done again so more money to be earned as well crystalclear.inbox@gmail.com

Rip the ply out and paint the floor yourself.
The paint would need at least a day to dry out before you start on the rest.

Not sure anyone would take you up on a days work doing all that for £150 though, dust the mothballs off your wallet and offer a decent amount you tight bugger.

I remember when I had my system switched  from old van to new it was 300 that's with me  sorting out the painting ect
. I dont think you will get anyone to do it for 150  not down south anyway.

Where did you get it done that's really cheap for the whole thing if it was a business ?I'm just talking about a few bits and pieces regardless I'm looking for someone who is self-employed not a business
That is VAT registered
essentially what I'm asking for I can't see it being much more than a handful of hours for someone who knows what he's doing. I'm also happy to negotiate  depending on what  that person can do Cheers

So, you haven’t got the skills to do it yet only want to pay for someone’s time. What about their skills, tools and experience.

Once they’ve done 5 or 6 hours for you what are they going to do for the rest of the day? Leg it home and shine some glass to make up their money?

haha mate I appreciate that but you're really far from me I live down south. Honestly I'm so useless I'm considering working for one of these water fed pole places for free just so I can learn lol. Not that they'll probably employ me I'm too used to be my own boss.
I don't really want to put pictures up lol it's a right state I kinda want it looking better first.
Whereabouts are you again

I was actually considering about locking this post because I really couldn't be bothered to receive stuff like this yes I am looking for someone who needs some extra work and who wants to make some extra money doing something they may enjoy building things up it's a bit of a difference to window cleaning buddy .

I don't fancy paying hundreds and hundreds of pounds like I have recently to a VAT registered business you are coming out with 5 and 6 hours how do you know it might be 2 hours in might be 3 hours
I'm not silly I'm well aware most people or some people will probably earn more just sticking on the glass like I said it is what it is

I edited  my reply because I thought you was was a bit naughty afterwards lol but I really appreciate the offer.
Obviously I am sick of paying through the roof. And I'm looking for someone for a start who may not have full-time window cleaning work or who likes to do this sort of stuff some people do enjoy it. Obviously I'm looking to save money that's why I put this on the forum last time I had a couple of pumps installed a tank strapped and I was really ripped off
Intern hopefully I can assist the fellow DIY window cleaner in other areas I am good at other things you know just completely terrible at DIY...

It would do you the world of good to jump out of your comfort zone and try new things. Everybody makes mistakes in life but then we learn from them through knowledge or wisdom, that's life. When you overcome your challenges, the rewards are so more appreciated. The only real challenge would be fitting the tank through the flooring and most garages would do that on your behalf safely for peace of mind.

I took down a conservatory 4m x 4m Edwardian style a few years back. Never had any experience before so I googled everything I could, there wasn't much but I managed it safely without breaking a single pane of glass and even transported it safely. I was really chuffed with myself after I done it all.

Edited again lol listen I'll take it into consideration 350 is a little bit steep I could do the painting myself I think I can do that it's pretty idiot-proof then just a few pumps moved and things like that hose reels screwed in I want a friendly happy-go-lucky window cleaner who isn't as rich As You Are and enjoy the little bit of socialising haha

You know what this is a very inspirational post I really do appreciate it and you are right I really wish I could get my head around these things I can do the very simple stuff and I mean simple like when a connection becomes loose and stuff like that but if it involves tools and things like that I don't know what's wrong with me I just bloody can't face it I'm the kind of person that needs to be shown things when it comes to DIY lol..

if your hopeless at DIY its because you havent had enough practice,youll never learn anything if you just keep getting other people to do jobs for you......even im ok at basic DIY these days...... ;D

its a bit like people saying  "im hopeless with money" as if its a lifelong thing and they cant do anything to change their behaviour/attitude....... ::)roll
price higher/work harder!

When I moved in to the place I live in now back in 1990 it needed rewiring, badly. Not being a sparky I was a little flubbergusted about it all. Anyway, one day I got up, turned the lecky off at the wall and proceeded to pull out all the existing wiring. That done I sat back and realised the only way I was going to get a brew was to start to rewire the place again.

But as much as I do the whole experience really is daunting for me

you can rip the ply out yourself and paint the floor,personally i dont see the point in painting the floor just get plastic load liner thats the right size for your particular van and put that down instead.....or failing that a few rubber mats.......

whats wrong with your van set up as it is?if your getting a new van and system next year why not just wait until you can start fresh again?

i got my local garage to fit my tank,the rest i did myself(plumbed in my pumpbox and screwed down reel and fitted pole holders)obviously when i bought my diesel heater i got it professionally fitted as i wouldnt attempt to fit anything as complicated as a webasto heater.....

I just want to make the working environment in the van a bit more pleasant there's two really horrible hose reels that need bolting in I want to replace and obviously I can just replace those in the new van I also would like another hose reel pointing sort of diagonally through the van side I was thinking because sometimes there is a property to be cleaned forwards and there's parking issues.
I just want it done properly I tried finding a handyman ages ago and he didn't do a good job he basically fiberglass the wood water goes underneath the wood and obviously causes problems in the cabin I will be replacing the van and I was hoping maybe for the new tax year so it's still a while away meanwhile I'm happy to spend some money to get it done by someone who knows what they're doing. Because I'll just get stuck On Every Corner it will take that person a very short amount of time and it will probably take me bloody months

Yeah and the moral of the story is..... to make the Tea BEFORE ripping the wires out of the wall!
