Sorry to hear that Simon much the same acoss the country one I - 13 people have COVID I personally this week know of 6 people with it get well soon mate .

 

[Harvest Fields]

Agree with the above. I had it 2 weeks ago and was so drained it was unreal.

 

[SJB060685]

Hope you feel better soon Simon. We lost my aunty to COVID this time last year and we almost lost mother over Christmas to COVID as well.
I know they say these new variants are weaker but I still live in fear over it, especially for my mum who also has COPD. I always where a mask and sanitise when out and about and although not mandatory anymore I still get frustrated when I see people completely careless to the whole thing.

 

[king of pipes]

Getting on top of this one chaps final push tomorrow should see it done, another one is stripped and ready to start . Kop

 

[ShaunCorbs]

[SimonG]

Lino. If it had been laminate then I would have done it.

 

[Ric2013]

Makes sense.

 

[SimonG]

I was too expensive to lay the bamboo laminate on another job

Just been back to sort out a couple of radiators.

 

[Ben-gee]

They obviously had an eye on wallet rather than quality, mind you that’s shocking!

It's a roper Rhodes dual event concealed shower with bath filler so no taps on the bath Jim bit tricky needs to be 85mm in the wall doesn't leave much to get it securely fitted but it's doable . Regards Wayne

What is the building?

It's a big house, ASHP, UFH & 5 bathrooms. The client owns a HVAC wholesalers so are supplying all the gear, they seem quite happy to give me whatever I want to install!

 

[king of pipes]

Didn't quite make it but it's usable and my Son Granddaughter and his wife are now staying with us for a long weekend glad of the rest now Kop

 

[SimonG]

Little kitchen back splash. Nothing but hassle. Between sparks and plaster it's well screwed.

Boxes sticking too far out the wall. No rubber grommets. Not enough cable to get the tile behind properly. Pulled socket away from wall and live and earth pop out knocking cooker hood lights off.

Sick as a chuff.
