[lockhes]

Does anybody know where or even if you can get some kind of protective cover for the reg books including the OSG as my red ones got battered so going to try to look after the green ones

You could go slightly mad, remove and laminate every page and stick them in a ring binder...

How about the drawer in your office? Take it out every assessment visit, works for me.

To protect mine it is wrapped in a warm and reassuring hug of love

A bag in the back of the van would give adequate protection in my opinion

 

[kingeri]

I keep mine in a PDF file on the laptop!

 

[oba]

Do you keep the laptop in a bag in the back of the van?

 

[kingeri]

I do take my laptop on some jobs. Have a portable printer too, allows me to print out estimates, certs etc on the job. I also have a few cable calc apps etc on there.

Otherwise I just view the regs, building regs, OSG etc. on my smartphone.

[kingeri]

I carry the red one in the van for use on site, if needed, and keep the green one in the office. Covers most situations.

Asda/Tesco/Morrisons give away covers every time you shop there. Aldi charge 3p

where can I get this PDF from?

 

[kingeri]

Moses, I was referring to the digital version of 7671 and the OSG, as available direct from the IET from their website :wings:

 

[Johnny-G]

I wouldn't bother protecting it, you'll have to replace it with a newer version before it gets a chance to get worn out or damaged anyway.

 

[Brad]

I've got mine in some kind of tight shrink wrap. Like tough cling film just to protect the outside covers

 

[Spazz]

You can get book covers
Coloured exercise book covers - From £0.90

I had these back when I was in school - worked really well and cheap as well.

Also have a look on ebay - you might find some on there. You can gt A4 and A5 covers

And these covers come off when the new edition comes out - use it for that one then!

 

[Richard Burns]

You can try covering the covers with (what used to be called) Librafilm, a self adhesive plastic sheet that sticks to the cover (use plenty of overlap).
Go a bit up market and try book protectors, slightly more rigid, easy to fit easy to fall off.
Or put the books in a plastic storage box (which is what I do!) Ia m sure you can get these cheaper, but can't remember where atm.
