For some reason the wall decided to have a wee on me today :D

Drilled through my first pipe to make matters worse it was the feed to the shower that I installed yesterday

That's what rushing gets you :(

Sad times mate :(:(. I never rush anymore no matter how far behind I am. I would rather cancel a job then have to go back to one.:cool:
 
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the customer came onto this forum now to complain about their plumber bloke called Shaun who drilled through his own pipework?
:p

Customer wasn't there on hols :D
 
I trust the customer wont find out things didn’t go as smooth as the finished job suggests. ;)

Blame the tiler he drilled it :D

We have all been there pal , we are all human lol
That’s true :) I had that couple of months ago and I was so convinced not to hit a pipe as I knew where I put them :) wasn’t cheap to replace a cow rag and designer stuff :/
 
I’ve only ever hit a pipe once. Changed a sower like for like, removed old shower rail and fitted new one (using same hole and same screw) and somehow managed to hit a pipe !!!
 
A true story I can now tell you without filling up ...

The last time I hit a pipe was when my mum was admitted to hospital around 4.5 years ago , she was very poorly and we could visit her 24/7 , because I got behind with work I worked a Sunday morning to fit a cooker , I screwed into the wall for a couple of pipe clips and hit a mains waterpipe which was burried in the wall . Water everywhere etc etc , I repaired the pipe , leak- tested , cleaned up etc etc the second it was done the hospital rang to say my mum had just died ( filling up now ) , we try smile now to say she waited untill I fixed it lol .
I then went to tell my sister , we went to the hospital to see mum , and this is the bit I haven't got a clue how I did it, I went back to the job to finish the cooker. Chuffin hell !!!!!!!
