Ply lining & sign writing (sorry for the rhyming)!

[rocketmanbkk]

Friends

So now I have a depo on a van does anyone know the best place to buy ply lining? I see on ebay its about £115 for a transit connect (unfitted). Is this the going rate?

Also, the chap who i got teh van from gave me a number of a signwriting man who does their vans. He reckons for cash (ssshhh...ahem) cash, it'll be about £150 for design, supply & fit. Any comments or other places people have used?

Dying to get going and do some small jobs, looking at further courses I can do but it seems that my local college, Langley, doesn't do much other than un-vented & gas. That's for a year or so when I gain confidence & experience.

What other courses do people recommend? Tiling? Plastering? Further plumbing?

Cheers all

Best regards

Ply lining, do it yourself dont buy a kit. Never have sign written any of my vans, advert for whats inside to steal. Tiling is a good one but seen so many bad jobs. A course is not always the answer get some experience with a good tiler if you can naturally further plumbing aswell when your ready

I haven't got my van sign written i have large magnetic signs that I put on.

i can get the copper tube in the back so no one knows what's inside a plain van.
Also helps me to sub contract when I'm quiet as most are not happy when you have a sign written van.

2 great points that I forgot to mention by plumber0808, keep as versatile as poss. Check out shower forums aswell, some great picture of tiling on there.
