Sorry for the long post. :yawn:
Basically as above..
Do you have a seperate work van or use your car for your work?
Those who read my introduction thread will know this but for those who havent, I am going to take up a career in tiling (hopefully!!) part time around my current full time job in which i have blocks of 4 days off (so hoping to eventually move to full bathroom sized jobs when my experience grows to a suitable level).
I am in the process of sorting a course, and costing up the things I need to buy to get up and running.
I'm really interested to know, particularly from those of you who similarly tile part time if you have a van or use your day to day cars.
I have a Vauxhall Vectra Estate, it has a really big boot space but is quite new it already takes some hammer from having two dogs driven about in it but has a protective boot liner because i dont want it to get trashed.
I'm considering using this for my tiling work saving the expense of buying a van, even a cheap one is going to be a real struggle financially for me by the time i've accounted for insurance, tax, running costs etc. ontop of tools and course, liability insurance etc.
But on the flip side I really dont want to be using my car for tiling work if the things i have to carry in it are going to ruin it.
(If i use the car i'd be getting a roof rack for boards etc).
Any advice / experiences would be very much appreciated.
