Title: ANY TAKERS ? (£100 gutter vac)
Post by: P @ F on May 03, 2011, 09:25:19 pm: I'm looking to do a post on how to build your own gutter vac for approx £100 to do run of the mill stuff , it could well do the high stuff , not sure as not tried it yet , sure it will do them no probs , only testing will tell though !

What i propose is a step by step guide using a 1500w wet and dry vac and bits from wickes and halfords all coming to about a ton , i added a 2.8kva genny from machine mart for a total outlay of £350 to give me total flexibility if custie not in , if there is any interest then i will take the time to publish the project as i feel the uploading and typing will be wasted on certain poo poers that frequent this good site .

Post by: P @ F on May 03, 2011, 09:57:36 pm: Franky , that sounds top , but what i offer is no slx pole , true would be nice , but i did mine on a tiny budget to see how it went , bit slow to start , thats why i went to wickes ;D ;D ;D
If i was gonna get an slx it would be for the glass not to vac up turd ! ;D
Saw Mr H's post many moons ago , liked it , just seeing if i can do it cheaper by living in my shed for a bit , the missus is up the duff again so im not missing anything by going to bed early ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
