I rent from BOC through the 'Volkzone' scheme. I don't use big amounts of gas but it suits me as their depot is 40 miles away and I just collect a fresh bottle [if need be] when I'm in town anyway, for my regular clinic visits.
To rent both Y size bottles [pure argon and argon mix] costs me less than £10 per month - given that I neither smoke or drink much [honest!! ] it's a small price to pay for the 'entertainment'.
One bit of advice re your trolley if I may [granny > eggs ]. I have to weld outside [wooden shed + welding = ] and designed the Mk1 to hold both bottles on the back. I soon got sick of dragging that lot to the door so chained the bottles to the wall and added longer hoses to reach. That also meant that the trolley could be that much shorter - win:win
You're what we'd call up here "a soft touch" but I'm pleased you've learned that word. Folk ask me to do stuff for them from time to time but, depending on a) who it is or b) what they want done, my stock answer is "Oh.....I doubt you if could afford me". Funny how the conversations dart off at a tangent after that.
