Must have taken you half that time to take all the Photos :D
Great looking job you've done.
-
to tell you the truth i should have taken better ones, but i couldn't be bothered
It came up great, the man you see with the pole is my brother in law, and it was his first time with a pole, and most of his windows didn't need going over again.
I got the job and gave it to him.
i did the village hall, he did the church, it was nice to have a relaxing day.
Oh and thank you very much
-
Good job
How much water did you use
Marcus
-
i think about 700-750l
-
Alex spray the facelift with 2 in 1 in a can,when the pole goes that grey colour on the sections it needs oiling up a bit.I do mine once a month and it gets it back to looking like new. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
hmmm ive been meaning to do something with it, just feels a little bit tight at the moment, was going to rub baby oil, i think you said that in the past, i will do that this weekend
Thanks
-
Top job looks great. Did you do that just with water or did it need some chemical to attack the dirt.
-
Great job I bet they were well chuffed.
-
just some hard surface cleaner i got, it almost rinses off afterward
im sure they will be when they see it,
its just a case of sending off the invoice
-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmen :)
-
Looks nice.... 8)
I'm sure they will be very pleased with your work and you will be doing it again...
-
did you use holy water to clean it? (oh i make myself laugh sometimes....)
the only down side is it makes the paintwork look bad..... possibly another earner to repaint the building too.....

Wow, that was a right state. I can see why you wanted plenty of water now :)
-
wow great job in only 4 hours, how long was it left before cleaning though?
i was just wondering how your tank is secured, it looks like an 800l but is it only strapped in?
-
bostin job mate
-
How did you get the high level photos mate?
Great work.
-
really good job mate, plastics look like they've come up a treat.
nice one. ;)
-
Its great when a job comes up sparkling like that.
You must be right pleased with it.
I would be.
-

900l, 3 3 ton ratchet straps secured to a frame which is secured to the chassis,
How did you get the high level photos mate?
Great work.
i was on a flat roof cleaning the windows on top.
i do hope it turns into a regular thing

750L of water :'(
not very eco friendly!! tut tut. god would not be so pleased to think your contrubuting towards the distruction of the worlds ozone layer!!
-
lol, that has got nothing to do with the ozone layer. haha

Except that the 2250L of water (inc waste) will go straight back to the rivers and the sea and get drawn up into the clouds and fall as rain.
So the water cycle will continue as it always has ...
-
lol, that has got nothing to do with the ozone layer. haha
do you know how much nrg it takes for the water board to surply you tap with that much water??? no? thought not. it has everything to do with the ozone. water conservation is one of the goverments top way of preventing global walming ;D

Uhm, mate.
Ozon layer degradation and global warming are two different things.
Main article: Ozone depletion
The ozone layer can be depleted by free radical catalysts, including nitric oxide (NO), hydroxyl (OH), atomic chlorine (Cl), and atomic bromine (Br). While there are natural sources for all of these species, the concentrations of chlorine and bromine have increased markedly in recent years due to the release of large quantities of manmade organohalogen compounds, especially chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and bromofluorocarbons.[citation needed] These highly stable compounds are capable of surviving the rise to the stratosphere, where Cl and Br radicals are liberated by the action of ultraviolet light. Each radical is then free to initiate and catalyze a chain reaction capable of breaking down over 100,000 ozone molecules. Ozone levels, over the northern hemisphere, have been dropping by 4% per decade. Over approximately 5% of the Earth's surface, around the north and south poles, much larger (but seasonal) declines have been seen; these are the ozone holes.

Nice job Alex/Alex's brother in law,
can anyone use them photos for advertising, lets say, me for instance?

I would have to say no, simply because i wouldn't have their permission,
if you wanted to use the close up then go for it, but anything distinguishing then no, like the wid pan shots of the buildings

wat causes global walming?? too many of the suns harmful uv rays getting through the depleted ozone layer. there for they go together hand in hand. the walmer the earth gets the more ice caps melt the smaller the worlds land becomes. theres no getting away from it. its something i feel the goverment will be clamping down on in the future. there already looking in to fitting every uk reserdant with a water meter and those who use over the recomended amount getting a green tax. dont shoot the messenger just read the papers. (the proper ones not the sun!!) by 2012 we will be the greenest country in the world mark my worlds. its a huge vote winner.

hi,you tell you got lots to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex
I see you have a Transit van is it a good van for wfp whats good about it and whats bad about it
Its just i am thinking of getting one soon
Dean

ok the ex bt ones have a 1200kg payload, they have plenty of room inside, and if you get a good one it will have loads of racking inside that you can take out or keep, and customize
twin battery's, 3 cigarette lighters, if you get a customized tank you can take advantage of the auxiliary heater which will eliminate not staring on a cold morning and also frozen equipment inside, it also has a water heater at the back,
the ride is good, little hard on the suspension, i take it easy over bump otherwise you would get whiplash,
downside, lack of power, but i heard they are restricted, but you can take it off, and also chip them which either saves you fuel, or gives you more power, depends how you use the throttle,
comes with a roof rack, not the best if your taking the ladder of alot for access etc, but if you get a light pair, and find a way to strap them on quickly it wont be a problem
you have to be careful for rust, check the wheel arches and around the side loading door for rust under the drainage points if there were a leak of water,
i have found a leak also in my roof which will have to go back to the garge due to the rust,
but apart from that i love it, the mirrors are fab, turning circle is great, easier than driving my estate
-
Thanks for the info mate
Dean

Top Job dude Alex & Bro in law
hope you get it reg from now on
-
Hi there my van looked exatly the same when i got it, :)
Racking in back 1400 bolts holding it all together = £175 e-bay
Roof Rack £100 e-bay
Heater (wish i'd kept it) £375 e-bay.
is that a 1000 ltr tank you have in the back alex????????
-
oh i wish i had sold it, i still use some of the racking, and gave some away, use roof racks and still got the heater, but a little bit mashed
900l tak
-
if you dont mind me asking, how much did you charge for those jobs and how long did they take you? (just curious)
P.S. you could've taken more than a couple of pics ;)
-
the church was a good price,, and the village hall was £175, church took four hours for one man, and he had never done it before, and the village hall took three hours and i was watching paul do the church and talking him through the technique,
it was only so quick because of wfp, i reckon the church would have taken a good 8 hours hard and mucky graft to get it that good, and the village hall 4-5hours using trad methods
-
by 2012 we will be the greenest country in the world mark my worlds. its a huge vote winner.
Jesus, you've really been suckered havent you ::) The US & Chindia do f*** all about global emissions & your cheering cos your government are going to start taxing you more ??? ::) the funniest bit is you believe the UK will be the greenest country, good luck with that ;)
P.S. A kilo of coffee will consume 20000 litres of water before it arrives to you, WFP is but a drop in the ocean ;)
-
and how exactly are we wasting water anyway? It evaporates and precipitates as rain, theres the same amount of water on the earth now as there was 500years ago - the fact the ice caps are melting has got more to do with the yanks and chinese driving 6.7ltr chevys than you or me filtering a few hundred litres of water.
don't be fooled by stealth taxes- tell you what I'll take the 'green' tax of you all now - just to get you used to paying it.
Start sending those cheques.
