Exactly that. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t 100 metres of hose enough to reach? Or didn’t you think of that?

100m is plenty but I remember I could drive down and round because I used to live around the corner. The reason it never happened before was because I used to clean 2 houses and would walk round the back of the other house and clean both. That house was sold so I only clean one house at the moment and I was trying to save time but I never realised the council had fitted a concrete bollard at the exit. It was a tough lesson to learn and then a few other things happened that day when someone reversed into the van. Its the only time I'm glad I have an old van because there was no damage. Not had a day like that since school days but I still managed to pickup 3 new customers and I don't know why.

Thanks, I already have 6 meters of that transfer hose and fuel pump handle. I have now bought that Clarke transfer pump for £102. Got all my stuff together when I begin making my own pure in my garage.

When I needed the money I worked the normal working days between Xmas and New Year. Specifically 27th - 31st December.

About ten years ago I didn't need to do I didn't.

I use this stuff , lasts forever

With the above nozzle

Thanks. How do you store it, on a reel? If so which one.  My problem is keeping it tidy. Easy enough when it’s warm but when it’s cold the stuff I use is like wire.

I use curved hook thats a bit like half of a car wheel in shape and just lay it over a few times, will take a pic when i get chance.

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!

Personally I would park on a hard surface and use my 100 m hose to get me to the job

Yes Colin - likewise for eleven years.

Perhaps Spruce might pass on our condolences and grateful thanks.

I have edited the title of the sticky thread. Please feel free to use either thread.

Yes that would be much appreciated if spruce could do that.

I have to say whilst George was fantastic value for money and very reliable,I never understood how Paul made any money from George I would have willingly paid a lot more ,it was really cheap even in 2008.,
George will be with me until I retire
Thankyou again Paul my thoughts are with your family

Was thinking of cutting a few down to 400mm by 2400mm and then fixing something on top to give a bit of grip.

Just get off roading  mats or boards much easier ,this type of thing
