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.

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

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

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

« Last post by KS Cleaning on Yesterday at 04:21:45 pm »Some of us wouldn’t turn up to clean domestic jobs in the peeing rain either but each to their own 😉I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.
You clean residential between christmas and new year ?
Always have done, since I started in 2008. Usually do a round or two between Xmas and new year, all my work is monthly, so each week there is work due, I tend to stick to the routine unless we’re away on holiday…
No way would I be turning up to clean domestic jobs in between xmas and new year but each to their own!😆

« Last post by Scottish Cleaning Service on Yesterday at 04:09:12 pm »I will still do the job but stay on the tarmac. I was thinking of trying to invent something cheap which I could sell.
Anyway, had a terrible day yesterday. First thing my electric reel refused to reel back in and had to reel it in by hand and use the other reel. Later got bogged down trying to cut corners. Lastly I decided to hose down the wheels and get the mud off so pulled out most of my garden hose. The moment I put it away, the automatic winder was in speed mode and near took my hand off and snapped something inside so that was the end of that. Ordered another on Amazon for £150 so never made anything yesterday bar 40m of spare hose. 🤔
