« Last post by colin bird on Today at 02:29:57 pm »
hi gents thanks for reading.
im booked in for a hip replacement on 10th april,just wondering if anyone else has had one done
im 63 i think im quite fit as in i put in a shift of approx seven hours a day mon to fri ,im 100 % waterfed no ladders.
if youve had a hip replacement how did you find it ? how long was the down time not being able to work ?
im looking as six weeks off prior to returning to work is that realistic ?

I’m constantly reviewing and increasing prices. Most of my work is commercial so some have had price increases of £20-£50. One had a £100 increase last week and no resistance. Domestics have had £2-£5 increases and again no resistance.

If your putting a £100 price rise in then it'll be a big hit if they cancel as presumably it's a high paying job...its a fine line between a fair price and just being greedy

Not being greedy at all Daz. This particular job hasn’t had a price increase in 4 years and is now underpriced.
There’s no difference in putting a £400 job up £100 to putting 10x £40 jobs up £10 each Daz.

Watch your axle loads. If you move the tank rearwards then that increases the load on the rear axle. There should be a plate under the bonnet showing axle limits. Ideally you need to go to a weigh bridge empty and check current axle loads. That will then allow you to calculate the axle loads based on where you position the tank. Too much rear load will damage suspension but increase breaking distances not to mention being illegal if you get checked.

Just wondered how many of you have your tank positioned in the middle of your van? I wanted to do this for my next van as this would give me access to extra space via the side doors to put my gutter vac etc.

Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Streamline V Ionics Twin Heated System
« Last post by the king on Yesterday at 08:41:37 pm »
ive got the streamline 9.1kw heater its grate, i run mine on the warm setting most days as its plenty hot enough for sole trader ! the streamline is £6000 all in, i sent a message to ionic they said theres was about £5000 all in, the only difference in the too  from what ive herd it the ionic one has a bleed off valve so it does not shut down when you turn water off at the brush , i opted for streamline as there 30 minit drive from me .

a immersion heater sounds ok but running a thermo pure would be better as you get much hotter water im not sure if they added to leisure batterys as a buffer to the main van battery ?
