What was the reason in declining the repair?

No reasons given

Unfortunately it's been declined by two bodyshops already.

Gutted for you mate. If the tailgate is knackered and needs replacing could you not just cut through it with a grinder? Cut out where the glass would go and bond on a pane of glass. Would cost about £150 but at least you’d get access to your tools

 

[tubs]

Happy with it?

Yeah its so good to drive , loaded up with tools I'm heading for at least 230 miles from a full charge !

Had to collect some 5m long building plastics, the only way I could think of doing it was strapping them to the ladder....

 

[BuilderJay]

Getting mine delivered this afternoon. Not got a trailer or tow bar you see.

 

[DaveD]

Looking at the adverts, I reckon that trailer's worth more than I paid for it ten years ago.

Rhino roof rack? I have one to carry my 5m wide carpets

 

[Guy83]

I can just about get all my tools in and 5 windows at a time……..it’s tight, bit impractical for me but I didn’t want anything else

WVW.

Yesterday on site doing a basement hatch installation

I'm off to weigh in some lead this morning. It's my lead off my roof, so none of that 'pikey, pikey, do as you likely' stuff needed lads.....

 

[BuilderJay]

Few quids worth there mate. I’ve got about half that amount to weigh in!

264KG to be precise. £1340/tonne, £353 back to me. Already earmarked for schools shoes etc according to my wife. At least my curry tonight is covered.

The replacement needed for the roof was 5 off 6m rolls of code 4 12" lead at £120 each inc., so £600 out on lead. £250 net cost for the job.



I had the tidiest van at the scrap dealer's yard by far!.......

I've been in a lot of scrap yards in my working life.
And come out with a lot of punctures!

TPs on a Saturday. Almost unheard of.

 

[z1ts]

Knocking down a chimney. Such fun….not

B&Q have just had a 15% off everything weekend. I needed a new mixer. The Belle ones have been £460+VAT (£550 inc) everywhere for ages, including B&Q. Saw the advert raced down there. Nearest branch sold both they normally have in stock, next closest branch had one left.




Bargain at £444 inc VAT, with the 15% off and then my 5% trade discount on top of that!
