I would think twice about having that pulling up outside my house to clean the windows - looks a bit heath robinson.  What impression would this give the average customer I wonder.

Not sure about the trolley wheels actually running on the road - is this a wind up?   ;D

trolly is illagel, the trailer should be ok as long as its under weight and bike can pull it,  farmes use it liek that all the time,

No offence but it reminds me of the “good ole days” when the local doley would turn up with a ladder on his bike to earn tonight’s beer money, it’s just the modern day equivalent.
But I suppose there is nothing wrong with that if it suits your purpose and your custys are happy.

another LWC type post....i like it....that reminds me of the time i gave my granny a lift to supermarket about 20 years ago........she started to put the bags in the boot of the car, but i said no granny just leave them in the trolley and we just tow it down the road....."oh wot a wonderful idea son" i then attached a tow rope to the trolley and proceeded to drive toward the exit....she fell for it. ;D

No i didnt drive all the way down the road with a supermarket trolley attached to the car....i aint daft.




my granny did though a few days later when she got her car back from the garage. :D

You done it again ! well done Kev, but I think the trolley has to be part of a braked system.

Did someone say something about being pikeyish or steptoe. You wouldnt get away with using that for too long in some of the places round here, half the kit would be gone by the time you got back round from the rear of the property with the pikeys round here.

I know where to go if I need a spare pump  ;)

To obvious for a wind up, more like sticking two fingers up to the Ionic crowd.

maybe a leetle aimed at the big boy suppliers.
But mainly at 47, seeing that this short life should be as much fun as you can.
And wots WFP all about?

A good lightweight pole
A good pump
A tank
A hose
A technique that gets you down to 250 litres a day.
A vehicle that gets all this to the windows & you can park easily.

If you can do all this reliably, day in day out, with style & a little fun then hey you've cracked it!

If you have the custies already, then you don't need the big boy suppliers kudos.

Kevin.

Mind you I'm a fortnight away from a self rewind reel. This has been a wee bit OTT ( pun intended) stainless reel/electric motor/pulleys.
