Sorry mate - Darren

We stayed near the beach at the bottom of the island, volcanic sand, black, so I only went on it once. Staying up at Oia (pronounced ear) could have been as expensive as £3000.00 per week, for B & B and these are the hotels dug out of the hillsides.

The camera does all the hard work mate. I just point it in the right direction

I'm off to my little pad in Varna in a few weeks and will hopefully try somewhere else in Jan/Feb

Holidays is what it's all about!

[Rob_Mac]

Got a nice little Thai massage booked in for December

I will be checking that I am getting a proper woman, over there!!!

Rob

[Darranvps]

You can't beat a good massage

I normally get a manicure and pedicure afterwards - just so I am in the company of lovely ladies for longer

When we shook hands at Croydon - I thought to myself there's a man that looks after his hands, that or he doesn't do very much manual

Rob

[Darranvps]

Virtually no manual for me Rob my hands are too precious!

I do 35k miles per year quoting work for my merry men to do!

The downside to this is the BELLY

Job we were on yesterday.

An external stairwell, all paint to be removed and treads back to metal









Got to finish this one off.

We made some mistakes, got the media dosing wrong and used far too much, so i've just ordered a tonne of coarse and we will be finishing off on Monday.

Had to leave the trailer down there because the bearing set & hubcap had come off, on the drive down there. Couldn't move it.

Absolute nightmare day but parts are being couriered overnight, so we will fit them on site on Monday.

Just had another enquiry come in for paint removal on a wall

Rob

[Rob_Mac]

I'll post the finished job, if we ever get there

Probably a really dopey question but is there a reason you didn't start at the top?

Kev

Not dopey at all.

Just out of picture there was a small Niftylift, picker and that was the plan.

We were having lots of start stop issues, some of them our fault, other ones, niggles on the machine and there were kids playing out.

So we said let's start here, work up and then rinse the lot down, when we've finished.

Starting on the high level, on Monday, now we've sorted the problems.

I wanted to give you this really technical but obvious answer.

The truth was user error

Looks great Rob, if you didn't have the set backs and teething problems what kind of time do you think that job could be done it mate?

[chris scott]

Get some primer on it.

[Rob_Mac]

It was the spindles.

I think a day. Definitely a two man job. Lot of pulling on the arm, with the air hose and particularly as it was slipping back down the treads.

Plan on the picker on Monday is to tie it on, taking some pressure off.

Really different and I really enjoyed it. It's the future

The primer and topcoat are being taken care of by the client, they know it will want a quick rub down, wouldn't mind that either

[Rob_Mac]

I've got the camcorder ready for a bit of video, on Monday

Looking good.
Nice little job to get the hang of the new system.
By the time the big jobs come in you should have it sussed.

[Kenny83]

Nice one, there is another avenue you could go down if you wanted... full package, reapplying fresh paint or treatment etc to your jobs. It seems a good niche that you have got into mate. I actually got a call from some guy the other day asking if I did sand blasting, he was restoring a car and wanted the spring coils blasting, the phone call was very short when I told him I don't think he'd get it done for £15 which he was estimating lol
