I bought all my trad gear off a wc who had a fall for £40 including ladders.
Then 12 months later I spent £600 on a van and £700 on my first wfp set up.
This month I started putting together my trailer system total cost so far £1400.
How ever I do wait until I have the money saved to buy my bits and pieces.

starting off trad
ladders £340
BOAB plus squeegee, applicator, scrim etc £75

3 years later turn wfp
£1400 on a crap aluminium pole, tiny 200gpd ro, booster pack (for starting cars!) and a sack trolley (I got ripped off  - badly)
So far I've spent another £3000 or so trying out new products but as a supplier I guess its all part and parcel with the job.

go to www.blackboxsystems.co.uk

its just the template as I wasn't happy with the last site.

although this one should have gone online ages ago it is to go online next tuesday.

oh lastly forget about some of the text,its not the actual script - the guy who wrote it didn't know much about the brushes and things.
