shopping list 2009
« on: December 19, 2008, 07:09:32 pm »
whats on everyones must have shopping list for 2009.
mines endless but i am a newbie.

100 foot of pipe is a must.

and if santa's listening, i'd like a flexi 5 in the january (50% off) sales.
if only woolies sold them.

an RDM drimaster would be nice for those large through living rooms but thats just me being lazy.

a waving arm so i can wand and wave. (essential in these trying times) ;D

oh! and a presprayer that never needs filling up or pumping up.

a hard floor tool for the rx, apperntly there £500. phew!

thats it for me, theres the best part of 6 grand gone.

anyone else going to invest in new equip, or you guys tightening for the so called recession.

Just got my BIG present last wednesday, an 800sqft unit on the local industrial estate, about 300 yds from my house.

So my wish list is now:

Racking for machinery, tools, chemicals etc.
One of those big sliding drawer tool boxes, seen a nice one at Costco if your reading this Sue!!
A 2000 ltr static RO system for our window cleaning side.
Another Ionics 650 ltr Thermopure Pro 6 system because it's really coming into it's own in this weather and the B team want one too!!

Finally enough new work to pay for the unit and the extra's  ;D

Derek RDM isn't neccessary I had the first one in the UK  ::) but I found on domestics it was a bit of a pain as alot of areas are too tight.

I like that upholstery/curtain tool from Solutions, also hard floor wand, not really needing anything oh perhaps customers would be good, I like customers they have money ;D
