Title: Got bogged down
Post by: Scottish Cleaning Service on December 03, 2025, 04:04:24 pm
Lost an hour this afternoon because I drove round the back of lockups to clean the back of a house. We used to be able to continue driving down and round onto the tarmac until the boy racers were using it as a race track. The moment I stopped the van and seen the big concrete bollard I knew I was in trouble especially with the rear wheel drive my van has. A few guys came out and helped me by placing fencing boards under the wheels and pushing me out. In the end I lost an hour and think I will design plywood boards that fit together to see if it works by spreading the vans weight. Watch this space!

Get yourself a backpack. Don't put your wheels on it or drive over it though. Just fill it with water and walk round to the back of the house with it.

Was you still able to trouser a ton in a couple of hours?
