Cad drawings for an 8 yard skip wanted

[chris pruteanu]

Spot on Chris, never knew that at the time. It was an ebay purchase and I needed six four yard skips fully welded so I could float them in the river, company said no problem and they turned up a week later painted in our colours for £180 each, that is a lot of steel, folding,welding , painting and transport for £180 all in. He also pointed out they were made in a high grade steel

Probably they wanted to get on the market, there is no way they’ve made any profit on them skips, sheet of 3mm steel 3mx 1.25m is About 50 quid. You need 2 and a bit for a skip...Add folding, welding, painting and transport and they made a loss or barely broken even on them skips...sometimes you need to loose some to gain some !

OK, I have to ask, why would you float them in a river Bob?

We don't care what we throw in the water

That's not quite true, I'm sure you'd take great satisfaction throwing Dom in the water!
