Varitech have incorporated it with a new box of tricks though - does loads of stuff. Good bit of kit.

well my van is not frozen at all, due to fan heater... BUT I can't get up the lane from our place (in the sticks) due tue snow on top of ice!

DAMMIT! i'd got a cracking day lined up. ah well, the pub'll be open later!

I have a fan heater and things are not frozen. But went to do work the other side of Ross on Wye, when you got off the main road on to the country lanes it was just ice and the van was all over the place.

So its not worth the risk there allways tommorow.

At last, no truer a spoken word "it's not worth the risk" take the time to get other aspects of your business up together.

i called mine off today. i didn't fancy having a phone call saying that one of the vans had been spanked! it is to dangerous out there today in our area

It was nice round Chepstow today, only four jobs done, but two of these were fairly big by my standards and the car temp gauge gave a high of 7.5 Celcius.

So no problems.

I've now taken backpack, hose, brush and five three-quarter filled barrels into the house and stuck them in a cupboard; so hopefully we'll be able to get some work done tomorrow.

[Sir Squeaky]

I won't!
Not only will -4 or -5c freeze everything tonight, but I can't get water anyway.

Not supposed to get above freezing tomorrow, so it may freeze while you're out.
Happened to me last week.
I thawed it out, and while I did a few bungalows by hand it froze again!

[Tosh]

Squeaks (Rog),

Why can't you get water?

Paul, my membrane housing also cracked over the last week or so. Have you, or anybody here, any ideas as to where i can buy a new one??? Thanks

I have a 650 ltr ice cibe in my van.
I think it will take all week to defrost it if temperatures get high enough.
At least my trusty old ladders will be ok when the snow goes.

i took the plunge today and bought myself 20 liters of isopropanol and work was top notch today .
 this stuff is meant to stop fuel lines freezing so fingers crossed for my hose reel and tank and pump tomorrow. its also meant to aid in evaporation... it does froth up a bit but went back quick check and all was sparkling well pleased although it can be a bit pricey :
