Did the wind up real come with the washer? I like it, never seen a 600L handy size that my bowser isn’t baffled but is fast tow road spec but thinking of swapping it for a proper setup had a look at some nice ones today at RB actions with diesel jet washers on front etc as i dropped scissor lift off.

Would like to jet drains with it as well so want as much throughput as possible

Its a Chinese loncin... a LOT cheaper than a proper Honda. Think the whole set up was 2.1K+vat on sale. Rated at 25lpm but puts about 17lpm through lance. The flat IBC is 500l and its not often you see them.
I went for this size as it will run a small jetter which I haven't bought yet :)

been blowing a S Westerly here all day too .. more like Oct/Nov. apart from 20C all day
Yeah absolutely grim but not that cold...
But it got them away from the screens for a day.
Unbelievable effort from the volunteer tunneling crews over the last few years clearing blockages.
Insane amount of work to hand fill 100 yards of tonne bags!!!

Not something I ever want to have to do.. rip out a bathroom I fit 12 months ago!!
shower tray had leaked , really bad design it didn’t have a lip around the trap so water had got under the tiles and traced back up into the floor, found a hole somewhere and got onto the UFH trays which then contained it and spread further, it’s been leaking a longtime but I think the ufh in the winter kept it from showing but given it’s been off for the last 3 months it’s just got worse and worse!
Thankfully it’s in my own house and not one I’ve sold!!
2 days stripping floor tiles/boards out, tidy up today and let it dry out over weekend and hopefully get some new boards back down on Monday and go again!!
*no wetroom tray this time! I quite like this type of work, but mainly on houses I’ve bought to rip out /refit 😂

I really like it,proper work truck,you know when you climb into it you’re off to do a bit of graft,my ranger sometimes tricks me into thinking I’m going somewhere good !Seriously I rate it,does everything it should,not overly comfortable and the seat is hideous but I am very pleased with it.tows fine too.

Today's job was meant to be shifting this lot down to the riverIMG20240809105919.jpg

But after yesterdays rain first trip and the dumper started sliding sideways (there's a horrible camber on it with a 2-3ft drop on the gorse line) so spent the rest of the day levelling the 600 or so meters of track out- yes I know it looks rough, I'm not being paid for this bit and I'll mess it up anyway going up and down😭

Frankly I blame the dumper driver

Likely to be every bit as biddable as your average dumper driver :)
