To buy or not to buy that is the question...

Never used it. I use standard mirobore. This will be fine as long as you don't have your water to hot. I have 2 settings, winter/ summer. I always keep it set on summer even if the weather is freezing. This will give warm water. Hot water can give hose problems and crack glass on really cold days

So got pretty much the rest of the bits sorted today, hit the timber store and and got the wood cut for my shelving so last day on the windows tomorrow then I can get on with stripping the van WoooHooo!!

I need to either rack mine out and utilise the space or get a bigger van. i had a full tank of water, window gear, car valeting gear and carpet gear on it yesterday talk about a ballache to get carpet cleaner out, had to remove everything

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

Not yet, Christmas is the 6th of October! Wifey goes home for 6 weeks and it's fishing during the days, (with bottled beer in the cool box and no wife nagging) Poker evenings with the lads down the local casinos (with bottled beer and no wife nagging) and just you watch, that website 'Just Eat' well with what I will be spending they will have their IPO on the stock exchange!

Well today has been day of days, beginning of 'project x' so here's the update.

All gear and tanks are now out. Now we can see the totally sodden and rotten ply flooring. (This is the floor that was in when I got it originally)



Here we are with ply out and all the **** visible in that was underneath



OK so why wait til Friday, Hello Ichiban! Now cleaned with our old friend Ubik, next w full rub down with scourers and thinners!



Ok so first coat on now, now it's time for another Ichiban friend!

Tomorrow will see a second coating and then the reassembly of system.

 

[peter rogers]

u any sign writing @Green

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

No Peter, interior first, my local place will do all dings and full external respray for £700 so probably end Oct, and then I will look at signage.

 

[adamangler]

whats the floor being coated with?

 

[Dave B]

You can do it a lot cheaper if you do the dings and prep it for spray

 

[peter rogers]

i see ur bumpers are knackered @Green ive just got my van signwriting done and ive just redone all the plastic bumpers

i just used a heat gun and all you need to do is wave it past slowly and it will change back to lovely black lik brand new

Yes but you have to get the Japanese Ubik /emoticons/smile.png)

I am using Protecta Kote but got 4l and that is loads so going to do a lot more in back than originally planned.

I could save on the prep davey but so much of it it would take me an age.

Top bumper tip there Pete.

Well there were going to be no more updates till completion but as the rain has started it is time to hide on the laptop and throw you a sneak preview of how she is coming on, going in to have tanks bolted back in tomorrow and next update on progress will be the end of the weekend.

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

Where you can see the floor is a bit thin it will be touched up once the fitters are done.
