I'd rather not think about it!

i would!as i like to keep an eye on outgoings,expenses,quality of equipment etc.i dont go for the cheapest option esp when it comes to poles/waterproof clothing etc but i dont spend as much on vans and systems as theres no need for my requirements.

Im sure you made a few posts about what you have spent before.
10k is prob the norm for a full setup thats a little better than entry level.

Post by: SeanK on June 11, 2014, 11:22:24 pm
Around £15000 give or take a few pennies.
£8000 on a van.
System about £4000 including poles, brushes and so on.
Guttervac and generator £2000.
Dragonfly £500.
Van/sign writing £500.
It is scary when you add it all up.

ben im 42 and have a good life these days!it wasnt always though in my younger years. ;)

i think when an alcoholic gets a firm grip of sobriety and straightens himself out he s grateful for every day of his remaining life and doesnt waste it on anger and resentments because he works hard to create a new life for himself far away from the pain,misery and addiction of his former existence. :)
