magnetic signs ( though a mate has said he will lay some pinstriping down ;))

electric reel, oh yes, i have 1, its to power the hoover for the van

Gardiner poles, i have a washing line pole in the garden, does that count

uniform, i have T-shirts, got a new funky design as it goes

polish, loads of them around

 ;D well done Matt, nothing wrong with downsizing in this economical climate.

why you down sized?
Title: Re: im back down to 1 van again
Post by: matt on August 31, 2008, 09:25:25 pm
i didnt need the size of a T4 to be honest

i was going to fit it out as a  "day van" for trips to the beach and it would have had 6 seats, but i dont have the spare time, i have had it for 10 months and not done a thing to it

so i thought i would downsize to a smaller van and that would just be my works-van

im tempted to get a tank inside the van now, even if it saves me loading the 25 L barrels, i might fit a tank and sub pump the water to it and from it, into a cart
not sure yet

i have to decide to either firbreglass the rear or just use protecacoat, the floor has a rubber lining thats covered in plaster

i was discussing it today with the mrs when we went out for a meal

i have too many area that it just wouldnt work, i would have to move the van every house i cleaned, that could be 15 moves of the van, some i would need 2 - 300 M of hose, think i still need the trolley, i might have a pump etc in the van for the moden new build estates

you know  what mate thats just what i thought ;D
i still have the trolley powering the system
i aint taken it out the van once
100mtrs goes a long way
i have an extra reel i used to use with the trolley
i can splice em together if needed
only needed to do it this week for a school job
easier to run a hose over a gate than lift a trolley
