Put mine together in the van, not sure if it will come out in one piece.

I should have worded that better, I meant the big trolley washers. I use a ramp but it's hard work, just looking at another way.

Four wheel trolleys are much easier to get up ramps because they have the solid rear handle to ouch on instead of the barrow design. We use two Galv ramps :)

Mine got delivered on a pallet.................. And it's still on the pallet.  ???

Vans a mess, tank at the top end with a load of hoses on top, RO in far corner 2 x di bottles in front of it, there is all high pressure hoses ( neat in coils with tie clips ) hose reel is fixed to inside of roof, then machine on pallet on right as open back doors with me crate next to it with me trad swag in, 

Don't know how many poles are in there at least 5 rest on roof rack

2 x barrells of hypo in there also virosol floor cleaning chemicals boxes of bin bags general office cleaning supplies

Omg Rob I hear that off me wife everyday  :D

We are complete opposite, am not giving a toss and she's got to have everything spotless and in place

I have all these ideas and buy all the stuff I need to do it ........ But never get round to doing it.
Work has got me by the balls at the moment
When and if I get a day off I want to sleep, things we don't talk about in are house is the down stairs toilet..... It started off with a small box then another and now I try to avoid the wife if she's going to mention it  :D

When my machine got delivered I tried to store it in there ( I didn't tell her tho ) but wouldn't fit in the door as I didn't want it just thrown in me van which it is now. 

It be sound for now i will sort it out one day ......

It'll be staying there until I get a trailer. The old machine wasn't a problem but there is no chance I'm lifting the new one after a clean never mind a shift. I'll run a garden hose back to the tank.
