I know mate, that was the original plan, but i havent got time at the moment! :(

Being time short, i did ask a company that does signage. they wanted £400. screw that, ive got an A-level in electronics and very hand at DIY! i can do my own with a transformer and a nice bit of soldering! haha!

Have you thought about training an apprentice? A PFY who could then go on to work in another Miglior unit, preferably somewhere further south?

JPC · « **Reply #52 on:** February 09, 2011, 09:09:20 pm »

I have thought about it, but the thing is (and i dont wanna sound like a wise guy) but I am the business. without me, how would i control the quality down there? would someone else be motivated enough to remember every car is just as important as the last?

Would they appreciated that one half assed job means game over??

I could run miglior until it turns over £2mil a year with me at the helm, then sell it and it will fall on its arse if its not bought by someone who actually cares.

Completely agree that you need someone with the same level of passion and care as you, and that it's rare.

I think you do have people who would be completely suitable but finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Hello there! What a busy weekend I had!

Up this weekend was to fit a new CCTV system. I had a previous one, but the new one going in is a lot better quality, it has hundreds more features and I can even view any of the cameras 24h hours a day on my Ipad or Iphone, or any computer. It records onto a hard drive in the unit and also backs up in real time to another disk at a remote location.
I’ve never had any trouble in the unit, but this along with my police response alarm provides more than enough peace of mind to customers! So, enough of the chat! Let’s get some pictures up of the progress!

By the way, yet again, I have done all this. I had a friend help with running some of the wires too.

First up is a shot of all the gubbins being installed! It doesn’t look like much, but it’s a BIG job installing this system, a TV, running over 100m of cables etc!

This is where it is going to go!

The phone will be tidied up too. That’s only been put there as a temp measure whilst the TV goes on!

On with running the wires! I’m sure the H&S guys would love this!

Work in progress at the business end of the CCTV install

Now, it’s all been installed now! Here is what the unit looked like! It was a pretty big undertaking! It needed cleaning ASAP as more cars were booked in and no time to spare!

Now it’s all tidied up, this is what it looks like!

Since the last update, I’ve also done a bonnet ill be putting up on the wall in due course!

Thanks again for reading!

Jay

Lovin the security system. Now you have no excuses for not taking pics!

Superb, and you can even see your 'back entrance'

Is it me or can you not quite see if someone was stood at the front door?

Dont want to alarm you Jay but there is a man in your unit taking pictures of your telly

Can you use the feed to do time exposure shots of you working? Or we could have a web cam to watch you at work!

[SIZE="4"]

Hello there, its been a long time since I've had chance to update this thread but theres about to be some more big changes at miglior, so i thought i best get the ball rolling with my unit thread again!

Some of you may know my unit is a fair size and to keep it all tidy is pretty hard! The area where i work in is always tidy but the back, well in the past it normally looks like this…

When you've been working 12-15 hour days, sometimes longer, the last thing you want to worry about it tidying up an area no-one sees!
Well, i got to the point where I had had enough of it, and having sometimes 5-6 cars in at a time, it was time I did something about it!

So, after a mad dash of about 3 to 4 hours one friday afternoon, i managed to do all this…
