Looks good.

Are those cable ties holding the pipes up to the roof? If they are they won't last long IMHO.

Hi Daz,

Thanks

yep thick cables ties double clipped spruce.i bought the soil pipes from b&q.just under £30 for the 2.i sawn off a section each.2.5 mtre.

if the cable ties dont last ill get some brackets and screw em in. :)

I am getting a new Van soon but am concerned about Poles in my van while working with the doors open.
Don't fancy leaving my  smax 47in there while disappearing round the back of houses
How do you go on on your compact work Daz when the vans out of sight?

Used the B&Q cable ties with soil pipe doubled them up they won't budge and have lasted so there is no need for concern there. Regarding van security I tend to use a longer hose to feed the claber hose reel out side the van and position the hose at centre bottom of doors although it dose pinch the claber hose a little it doesn't affect water flow. Looking to fit the hose under the bumper with input and output port on a bracket if I find one cheap enough, I had seen this for around £8.00 but can't remember the site.

Dazmond no disrespect. But you bang on about how much money you make why do you have such a load of p set up mate. Tank wrong way round.
Little old van
Are you sure your making good money?

It's funny how people assume things
My van is like a piece of s??t on wheels I make a decent living but am not to keen on spending out on equipment for the van

Just coz u only put in what u need don't mean u not earning without the extremes and the pressure washer in my van all the other equipment wouldn't come to £500, I buy as much as I can off eBay or the cheapest place I can
No point replacing until it's propa finished

Just my opinion

That's sound Don, you can use on top of the tank as storage or whatever, I would bunch the poles up and spin ya hose reels upside down fitted to inside of roof, can easy close door with hose at top or bottom.
This would free up all the floor space
Fit a nice honda pressure washer on the floor then  ;D

You need to spend at least £15k on a setup to join the elite... Didn't you know it's how you look to others that counts in life..? Come on Dazmond keep up.

At the end of the day... to clean a window WFP all you need is pure water at the end of a brush... It doesn't matter how the water gets there!

Keep up the good work Dazmond.

Andy :)

That's nothing to do with it Dazmond invests all his profits in stocks and shares, last year he cashed  in all his shares in
Google and Facebook and reinvested the money in a company that makes plastic carrier bags another company that makes
tax disc holders and another that makes some sort of additive for pure water, any money left went into Greek premium bonds. ;D
