aaaaahhhhhhhh knackered hose!!!!

[keir]

Having a belting day in the sunshine all the birds are tweeting the radio playing top tunes then a bin wagon comes along and runs over my hose, usually no biggy but my hose has been on its last legs for months now and been repaired so this bin wagon was the final nail in the coffin.......it has split in about 3 places so no chance of repairing it and carrying on..

Sat outside outreach now waiting for my man to get here and get a fresh hose.

Bin wagons would be a killer with their weight + tyre tread blocks :sad:

Sorry to hear that @tuffer...I try to avoid trialing hoses across roads myself.

Never any issue's normally, the thing is i had finished one area as the wagon came round......packed up and moved round the corner, set up and it was like a fountain lol.

On the estate i mainly work on i dont have a choice, plus i run it in the gutter and keep it off the paths for trip hazard reasons, not that there's a high volume of either road traffic or foot traffic but a hose in good condition can take a few cars etc no probs

I'll get a photo if i can of the section of hose........it is completely goosed even before the wagon went over it, the slice in the yellow sheathing must be up to 1 meter long but i have loads of them like that!!?, from my early days and writhing the hose round corners lol

Could you not use the other end of the hose @Tuffers by refiting it the other way aroud if you have a 100m hose as thet part should be hardly used?

hahaha i wandered why you where calling me tuffers lol you ol' bugger

As for swapping ends of hose, i took your advice the other month and did that lol, i lost 10 metres in the process as it was so badly damaged.

I had to splice the hose and put a joint in.......which i am so glad to see the back of, it was a nightmare for catching on raised flags or corners of steps and walls and fences and.......basically anything and everything
