I’m going to Grippa tomorrow, did you leave any 5* hotel and plane tickets in that van of yours Daz?

Please try to find out for us how they are solving Daz's fuel supply problem. 

It was parked outside when I got there.

Who totalled the near side real wheel arch Daz and wheel hub?

 

Hopefully it’s slacky on the wind up.

If you have it as little as 45degrees on days like this week it will literally smoke off the glass like it’s on fire,mine was at that today and climbing and it was melting ice off frames and sills in seconds. Without hot water this week I wouldn’t have even been able to leave the house,I had more trouble getting my side load door open this morning I had to use the hot water and pole to defrost the door 😂

same nigel.no way would i have been able to work monday or tuesday this week with a cold system.im using a cold grippatank system tomorrow while my heater gets sorted but the weather will be warmer not sub zero!

I’m around the corner from you Daz, I’ve done a full week so far this week with cold water, no problems. Was out at 8am on Monday, -3 degrees, not a problem.

how did you stop the water freezing in the hose/jets?ice near the clamps?and how did you melt ice/snow on skylights/windows?

How do you deal with ice forming on customers drives, that put me off doing full days myself but I am a lazy bugger. Interested to see people's solutions, I can be a bit over cautious at times.

[dazmond]

sweep standing water away,sprinkle ice melt grit down and just use a damp cloth or squeegee on doors when its sub zero.

Was doing commercial from 8-11am, kept the hose moving and had no freeze, domestics after that and it was 1 degrees at that time. Apart from the odd conny freezing up it was a perfectly normal day.

Working with cold down to -1-3 lol on Tuesday morning I had to use my hot water to get the side load door open no trouble with the rears as it was in wasn’t as frozen,people with cold want to have a close look at there work especially upstairs windows I’ve been using the pole around 12 years now this time of the year with cold water its a nightmare it’s like dragging barbed wire about.

[NWH]

When I first started the first thing to stop me this time of the year was frozen jets with cold water, made no difference if the van was defrosted the jets won’t cope if it’s to cold.

[Frankybadboy]

tuesday we had -5/4 at 8:30am and had a problem with the second house cause of new windows but worked all day, and guess what  cold water

[NWH]

Crack on with your cold  water no thanks I’ll stick to hot.

[Stoots]

Decided that when the weather stops me from using cold ill switch to hot.

Apart from mon/tues this week when water was freezing on glass before 10am ive never had a problem with cold.

If there was a cheap and easy way to do it i would go with it but it seems a diesel heater is stupid prices, gas is dicing with death and with an immersion you need to upgrade your house electrics.

An immersion doesn't require the house electrics upgrading. All that is required is for the 16amp immersion cable to be on it's own 16amp breaker from the consumer unit- it's very simple and cheap stuff- the easiest if easy jobs for any sparky! An electric cooker/oven and domestic immersion heater is already wired the same way- you just don't know it.

 cold water is fine.hot water just makes for an easier, more comfortable working day but its not a necessity.

Yeh I know it's a fairly easy/cheap job but for me I rent so its like an upgrade in that I'm adding something to the property which probably won't be allowed.

Gas and electric I know nothing about though.
