Van stock?.............

[D00DY_T00DY]

Don't forget PIR's, photocells and grid switches (inc keyswitches).

Edit- and a selection of contactors.

It's rare there's a pir or gridswitches to change. Photocell isn't a bad shout.

Might say a couple of each maybe

re-read you post. i was referring to wages.

 

[richy3333]

Ooops! Sorry I didn't expand the quote. I'm a complete Terry! Should be WAGO's

Cash wages are non-declarable if they ever exist, which they dont

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

Only a little panel van, I'll be given my jobs on a day to day basis so anything I do need but don't have will either be in my bosses van, ordered to the yard or already in the yard. Got a nice selection as well as bits in the yard like singles, flex etc.

It's a beauty boys and girls. Not as yellow as I thought
More a JCB Yellow than a trotters traders yellow
And a pay rise as well. Reet do

Also stalled it straight away! Haha
Bluetooth radio with controls on the radio. My favourite feature so far.

make sure your van insurance covers you for work.

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

It's not a personal van, it's a company van so it's all covered

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

First full day as a van driver

Turns out diesel throttles and petrol throttles are quite different. Screaming my car home from work. Oops

Let's see how laid back my insurance is with their black box lol

 

[Specialist]

I dunno Dood: Van & Pay rise all in one day, that bloke is spoiling you

 

[Rpa07]

About time too - 4th year and all - I think he might like him and want to keep him?

 

[Rpa07]

Talking about van stock - I managed a job today - 2 different lighting instals requiring trunking (had some D line) back boxes blanks then conduit run dual back box unswitched fcu all went a treat, I was finding things in my boxes to get the job done BUT no conduit CR box lid to finish - DOH. Had to trudge to the big orange shed to buy a new one.
Had a word with my wholesaler when I got back and bigged up B+Q for stocking CR boxes with lid, screws and a rubber gasket (all of which come separate at the wholesalers).
I do need a van though, Astra hatch is a tight squeeze. Roof rack on for a double ladder for tomorrow. It's fun this sparking game!

Not until a month 3rd year going on 4th at college. 2years and 3months into my apprenticeship.

Said he'd give me a pay rise of inbetween what I'm on now and what it'll be in july(when I turn 21) because I'm doing more on my own now

 

[Specialist]

Just think RPA, it all adds to the fun of the job

I've never had a van in all the years I've been in the job.
Always had a Hatchback, Estate or 4x4 & never felt the need for anything bigger.
Best one so far has been a Mitzi Pajero long wheelbase.

I have no idea what cr trunking is

 

[Rpa07]

Conduit box with 1 exit - round lid missing to finish the job. Didn't even knock the door - got my ladder out, screwdriver fitted then packed up home!
Sorry a lot of words in last text - all to say 1 part missing!
