speed with a trolley
« on: March 27, 2009, 03:24:06 pm »
I seem to take an age using my trolley :( Hopefully i will speed up over time, i had another wc laughing his head off at me today while i was p*ssing about getting it all out of the van he had cleaned one and on the next with his ladders etc. I drove home thinking back on the ladders for me if i cant speed up :'(

How small were these houses exactly, that's a hell of a lot, I assume you dont move the van much.
