Well done first to getting your site up and running.
What sealer are you going to use?
Business Ideas - Carpediem - 11-07-2019
cheers buddy
going with the resiblock acrylic sealant, its cheap but works, keeps my costs down and im nice so will pass that saving onto clients
I still maintain that if this really takes off i will help sponsor a club show and have a presence on the stand, so i can help out with funding but obviously get a bit of advertising sneaked in also

All sounds good mate.
Sorry I didn't get round to looking at that logo I said I would... but I will!
If you intend to offer snow clearing in the winter, you may want to consider a Land Rover or similar, or you won't be able to get to half of your appointments!

haha no worries ben, i appreciate the help so wouldnt of pestered you for it
I really want a mitsubishi warrior or something similar, double cab with the box on the back would be ideal,
but anything 4x4 is monstrous on tax and insurance, a van makes more sense for now until ive got commercial contracts and a solid income,
im hoping come winter i will have a business and i can invest in some gutter clearing kit to do during winter, and a snow shovel to offer that aswell

An L200 would be ideal. They are classed as commercial vehicles though, so tax etc. shouldn't be too bad. But yeah, they can up the costs. I've had a V8 Discovery for nearly a year, but it's got to go now, the running costs are enormous and the reliability awful! Great fun in snow/mud/water though!

Yeah, I totally forgot until this thread popped up again today! Been a bit busy.

thats cool mate ive been all over the place sorting out advertising and stuff so jsut getting on with it lol
yeah ive had a vitara before in the snow and it was awesome fun, but dont fancy the tax let alone fuel costs for one nowadays
think im either getting an astravan or renault of some kind, both will do the job fine,

Is resiblock about £100 per 205 litre drum?
Business Ideas - Carpediem - 11-07-2019
erm,.... I can get a 25litre drum for about £75, and thats the cheaper branded stuff
