I would have just taken the day off and played the stock market but Vaccing in the rain is great suction for the Vac, Well Done. Might have been better wearing your fishing gear when Vaccing. ?

Better being safe than sorry! Just one thing, always fully unreel your extension cable as having it coiled up while using it can cause a fire!

Know how you feel. Moment you finish a job they add another bit on thinking you will be over the moon.Normally ide take day off but I’m backlogged at the minute been like it all summer currently booked up 5 weeks in advance for pressure washing and gutter cleaning Saturdays week days flat out on glass witch I’m also behind on ?

I know it's another £1500 but for that money it's far better to get the Inteceptor. You save time and money, no generator required, as well as it's an easy 1 man operation. Hard work for 1 man, on big jobs, to keep moving 80kg generators around.

@tench0771 this is a great idea. Can I ask how you find using the numatic vacuum please? I used to work for a German industrial equipment company years ago and they always loved the build and quality of numatic vacuums.
I don't really need one at moment. I couldn't get the interceptor in my van.
Hi mate it’s been fantastic in fact so good I would buy another tomorrow if it got stolen I have had some really tough jobs and it’s never let me down good suction and nice and compact in the van highly recommend it mine the streamline one same as grippa think it’s only 1200w but it has as much suction as my mates 3000 w one he had but he burnt out a few motors mine are original motets still going strong ?

@tench0771 that's brilliant. I've always rated the numatic stuff and if you ever see places like McDonalds and similar they use numatic everything - vacuums, cleaning trolleys, floor cleaners etc. Glad it works that well and we'll done again on the canopy idea. It may have been raining but at least you go home with money in your pocket ?
