nice..everything in order!

 

Ordered a 6x10 v-nose and should have it in a few weeks. Not packing nearly half the tools as most of you guys. I've just gotten tired of swapping my painting and papering stuff back and forth from my truck and shop. Takes close to 45 minutes to do it each way, bonus being I will have more room in my shop:thumbsup:

 

 

Good lookin rig TNT, the sticks and brooms are a nice location...you need a few more tape measures tho

 

I get that every time these pics are posted. Tape measures are like socks...they disappear until you pull out the washer and dryer out from the wall or pull the drums. When I cleaned out my van I found like 8 tape measures. I am back down to 4 in the back. Time to clean it out again.

 

Nice clean rig TnT,I always liked the cord reels but never found any that worked well for me.Do you have a suggestion on those.I daisy chain mine but it confuses the help.They never can remember which end to start at .

 

I picked up the cord reels at HD. Have to replace them after a few years of use. I need them nice and neat and daisy chaining just takes up too much room and I have the same problem, no one knows how they go back together. I just roll them up on starting with the receptacle end, easy for everyone to remember.

 

I use a garage

 

You're going to start off here with your first post being a smart aZZ answer.Good luck!

 

Where do you keep the miter saw and table saw rob? Did I miss them or do you only take them if you think you will need them?

 

I'll have to check out the depot.Used to have some that had rail a accrosed them with a winder thingy on it that would layer them on the real for lack of a better term.
Can't seem to find those anymore.

 

I am BAD!! Tried many things, nothing works for me! Get it in the truck/doors close/ on the way home for the night!! To many jobs, to many places to be to do that clutter free stuff for me?

 

Does anyone else find that jobs only ever end at 6 or 7 at night? I don't think I've ever finished a job at 2 and had the afternoon to tidy up they trailer, write the invoice, etc.

 

A shop at home,steel shipping containers referred to as a conex on the job site.

 

I love finishing jobs on Friday. Nice to not carry over.

 

I know where everything is....even if no one else does.

 

I'm running out of space... One day we will get a 7x14.

You are starting to look like BC with all those Festool Systainers.

 

Here's some shots of the rig I just put together. It's a 7x12 v-nose tandem.

Do you always have a stock of drywall in the trailer?

 

The trailer shows up with the appropriate sheet goods for the job. I try to always keep some ply and sheetrock in stock though.

 

Just finished this it holds nails, two siders, two framers one is cordless, post levels ,mark paint,deck screws,stapler and finish nailer,has holster on right side for m12 impact, grade stakes.

 

Here is my 14'x7 v nose

How often do you use that ladder? I giggle a little bit at how chintzy they feel every time I'm in Sherwin Williams, but I've always wondered if it'd be worth it to have one in the back of the truck every time someone asks "Could you take a look at this?" and the 4' or 6' just ain't gonna cut it.

 

Here is my 2500 van

Here is the pick up with contractor cap and roll out bed
It gets loaded as needed and is used primarily as co ordinators truck and material delivery
With some odds and ends staying in the cap.

And new to me this week
2003 safari van
Needs some body work and lettering. This is going to be used as a taper / painter set up.
With some basic carpentry tools

 

I have a 6x10 trailer. It is a little crammed, I want to upgrade to a 7x14. I have changed the layout since this pic was taken.

 

I just want to know how long it took for everyone to organize their vans, trailers and trucks before they took pictures. :jester:

 

We wrapped up Friday at 5:30. All I did was unload all the tile stuff (we don't keep that on the trailer) and any other materials or special tools from the job. The guys have learned by now that stuff goes back in it's spot or my wife isn't happy about me spending an hour on Saturday cleaning up after them.

I still mess around in there most weekends and have a list of stuff that needs to happen in there for continuous improvement.

It's not much help to have a trailer that's not organized. That's the point of all this stuff IMO.

 

Your guys are better than mine...Installed a door today. Spent at least 30 mins total finding a hammer, flat bar, multi tool, etc. they were all there just not where they should be.. gonna have an "employee meeting" Monday.

 

Here is my setup. Just a Ford F-150 with a camper shell I'm able to carry about everything I need only thing I firm currently carry us my miter saw and table saw.

Hey Tyler, what did that top cost you?
I'd really like to get one of those by the fall.

 

Everyone knows that if stuff is not back in "it's" spot I will loose my mind! Granted, the last job was a throw tools in, lock stuff down that could fall over, latch doors and go. Then spent about 30 minutes later that night at home putting stuff away after kids went to bed. I am ok with that, now if it was still a mess when I went to next job, that would just start things the wrong way and ruin the day. Yeah, I'm that OCD

 

Have to say I really force myself to put everything back properly at the end of every single day. I have the locations of everything in my 21' V Nose trailer down to a T. If I have to send someone to get something for me I can easily direct them straight there. It's a huge timesaver to be organized.

Take the time it takes so it takes less time.
