organising vans

[Dannypipe]

Oh and it is a lovely cottage. We don't live there any more. After five years of renting it, we moved out and finally bought ourselves a place. Not as nice as the old Stone Lodge but its ours.

Before that we lived in a converted chapel. Which was right in the middle of Tunbridge Wells. So we've lived in some nice places.

Its nice to not have a landlord though, and for the house to be our own to do with what we want. I'm working hard to make sure one day I can afford to buy a nice character property and not just rent them from wealthy, uptight muppets!

The back of our van was a complete mess and the racking the apprentice 'buil't collapsed on itself. So we spent a few hours tonight after work building this out of old bits of wood we found laying around. Were waiting on some plastic organiser boxes my mates nicking from work.

The long upper shelf above the Van Vault is for ladders and longish off cuts of pipe. We made a little box above the wheel arch which fits the benders perfectly. I can't stand a messy van.

We have 3 Stanley fat max organizers in the van, one for screws, washers, raw plugs etc. Another for 15mm fittings and another for 22mm fittings. All other sizes and everything else is stashed away in the racking.

Whats that big machine mate

 

[Dannypipe]

It's a van. :icon12:

 

[mcniven]

Haha I meant the lads big yellow thing

 

[Glenwils]

That's our Van Vault. Just for stashing all our drills etc in at night.

 

[mcniven]

That's a great idea m8 anything that's on the nick list bang it in that! Is that screwed down and locked?

 

[mcniven]

Chances of them getting in back or side doors then seeing that screwed down or locked they'd no bother!

 

[Glenwils]

Yeah bolted to the bottom of the van and locked at night. If anyone could get that out, fair play to them!

trouble is once they know youve got a van vault inside they break in your house for the keys
