Neat looking set up Shorty!

Nice rig Shorty. Very efficient. I can see your focus for commercial. Your van has more floor space than our Transit Connect. Our Transit carries a Cimex, X-Vac, Oreck Orbiter, rolling cart with buckets etc, pads, a Zebra brush, drill driver setup, and chems on two shelves.

That's our daily driver setup. When we do a larger job we will load in extra machines.

Very nice Shorty. You are the Master organizer!

Really nice set up. Thanks for sharing. One thing that surprises a lot of people about our Ford Transit Connect is that it can hold 18 axial air movers and some meters, extension cords, and a tool box. We bought it mainly for water restoration since it gets 27 mpg.

Thanks for the nice comments good people.

Couple of things I didn't mention.............

The folding chairs: Most days we stop for lunch, usually in a park by the water, the table & chairs come out so we're comfortable. Sometimes only the chairs as they each have a folding side table.

We no longer have a quick lunch break, but get comfortable, relax and enjoy our lunch.



Also in the last pick, you will see two black sticks. These are my walking poles, some days after work, we'll do a walk along the Cairns Esplanade and these allow me to walk several kilometers with no aching in my knees.

Also not shown is our esky for cold drinks, etc;

Life is too short to worry about work all the time, the pleasure of each others company is more important to us now.
