What we all working on this week ?

[SimonG]

the walls are a nightmare, 1/2 a shift just to get the flue through.

Fit a MegaFlo (Which leaked on the probe pocket from factory) sorry for poor pics, was a really tight squeeze! Bit of servicing, back to finish off that big bathroom on Monday (Mirror, Towel Rail) then start another bathroom Tuesday.

 

[SimonG]

Nearly done, but pub was calling.

Builders in at a later date to sort walls out.

Just been to unblock a WC for a friend of the missus. She's flushed down one of those plastic fresheners that clip over the rim of the pan.

I undo the cold feed round the back, take out the screw from one side of the pan and realise the other one is hidden by tiles/boxing-in. Tell her I'll have to remove the obstruction to get access. After she makes a quick call to someone she says she doesn't want me to do that so I put everything back as it was and charge her £30.

She's still got a blocked WC and it's the only one in the house. She seems to think she can get someone else who can do it without breaking her precious tile which, by the way, she has spares of.

All I needed to do was remove the other fixing screw, pull the pan out and reach in to remove the obstruction. As I was leaving she had a plunger in her hand.

Sunday night favours eh?

Edit: £30 has just landed in my account.

Another bathroom job started all the old stuff is out the damaged walls and ceiling have been reboarded and skimmed, now putting it back together a split stone wall and floating furniture was a challenge on a metal stud plaster board wall . Kop

Quiet one today. Thankful for it, last week was heavy with that install.

Control box and magic eye on a mectron burner. Look at a job to install 6 designer rads, want pipes out of wall. Wayrock floors.
And.
Swap out knackered trv on a sealed system.

Then van turned poorly, rear pads, couldn't get it in till next week so managed to pick up a set and swapped them over. Real value for money on the old ones and lucky not to mess the discs up.
