I don't go out if its heavy rain. I have told my customers that I may miss a month due to black ice or adverse weather. They are all happy when I told them, there's always tomorrow. Hard with DD customers but I have decided to pay them back in cash when I return the next month. Its a tough call if you are relying on the money.

You should easily have time to get round your work that month with 100 customers....

I manage it with 300+ customers only working 20 hours a week with plenty of spare time!

Exactly, that's what I like about this job. If I spend a full day then I would be finished by Wednesday but once I have made a few ton I slow down and want to go home.

Been in my mates garage Friday and Saturday getting all the warning lights out. One was about the hub so we fitted a new one and sensor. The light only needed the plug pushed in as the clip was broke and lastly the brake needed a new sensor. Only have to fit a new exhaust tomorrow before the Mot. Its so easy with a ramp and my tank was half full.

Once you get to 60 up here we get a bus pass and know its time to slow down.

I thought you were always fully booked for work with all your home maintenance jobs.

I have a good few jobs to do but I need to be motivated to do it. Money used to motivate me but with the pension and mortgage ending i don't see the rush. I have a tree to cut down and many trees to prune, a few gutters to do with the vac, a gutter to move, a hip tile and gutter to repair for my mate and my mum has volunteered me to paint my cousin's bedroom.

I have lost 4 days getting my van Mot and servicing my system. Its all go now and back out for my afternoon shift. Thursday I will have the money for another reel and new 25 foot pole so at least I have something to focus on.

Got another year's Mot today so I think i will put my new steering lock on my steering wheel at night. All we can do is make it difficult for them to take it. Don't think they would want an 18 year old van but we never know.

Your that worried people are going to steal your 18 yesr old van you put keys in thr micro wave and a steering lock on it. 

You could leave the keys in the phucking ignition switched on and no ones still taking it.

Hope you are right but I have some power tools in the back all the time. Its just the inconvenience.

Just surprised it's coming out at 0 ppm......used two tds meters to double check......bet I haven't changed the resin in nearly 2 years....when I looked at the resin today it was still that golden yellow.......any idea how the thing in the Di vessel cap comes out?

I have been wfp 20 years. After the first year I gave up using a di vessel and just use water direct from ro. As long as your product water is in single figures IMO using a di vessel and faffing about with resin is unnecessary.

I have the streamline reel and find the spacer on one side(winder side) is wearing down every few months! The other sides been on since new and is like new….not sure why the winder side wears so badly.

Anyone got any fixes? I thought about a large washer between spacer and frame but can’t find one with a 300mm hole.

Anyone got any suggestions?
