Good or bad idea - would you like it and be Interested in?

[Old Account]

Hi all lads
hope you are well.
I just sent Riley the same message and was wondering how you guys think about the idea.
I was thinking if we could re open a thread for plumb proud works? I guess we once had a thread were people used to upload their own works. It would be very interesting to see how other engineers plumb and perhaps pick few little tips and tricks. It could open new doors for others and perhaps for yourself. As we know it is all about teaching and learning. Do you think that would be a nice idea? Perhaps the engineers who can see the works should be having a 1000 uploads or as riley said for people in plumbersarms it is just an idea,
please let me know your thoughts.

I’d be very interested in sharring and learning from others.

I will kick it off then. I don’t mind being judged.
Below is an older installation which I did when customer needed an upgrade for her second bathroom.

And the theme is to post your own work pictures and be praised yeah?
Sounds like schoolboys in the playground to me.

True, but does that mean I could not install the boiler earlier while I was doing my gas course ?

You can lift them once you need to service it. She wanted me to put them there so I did that.

 

[Old Account]

Yes

Instead of judging all the time put some of your work up

What do you disagreeing with?

You saying I’m now allowed to install a boiler while I was doing my gas course, how is that?

Love the 200 one!
Are you happy with viessmann and their aftercare?

 

[Harvest Fields]

You saying I’m now allowed to install a boiler while I was doing my gas course, how is that?

Because you personally do not hold the qualification to install a boiler before you are qualified.

 

[townfanjon]

And another , thats home , 210 solar unvented and Viessmann 200, work of art getting that in that space .

How is that? If I am guided with another engineer who is doing with me my portfolio I am as he will have to make sure it’s all done to spec.

That’s definitely art mate, you even can fit a washing machine in that corner 🙂 have you ever serviced the 200 one? Never done that yet and I am wondering how easy it is to get the burner our and service the boiler properly ?

I’m registered too but will need to do the course next week to be able to give 10 years warranty

Then YOU didn’t install it. YOU said I in your post. I means you alone. WE means you and somebody else.

Easiest boiler to service ever .. a bit of clever joinery and it all disappears.

No, he kept watching that’s all. However, I don’t need to discuss that any further.

The 200 course is a seperate one pal , I think you can only go to 5 years on the 200 , 100 can go to 10 years

As the ball’s started rolling, here’s an old install on a new build I did about 4 years ago. I went round and did the annual gas service

Just took out to clean. 10min and you are good to go with brushing through and flushing out the debris.

I have to say, i really enjoy it to take the boiler a little apart and get that cleaned up. It’s really easy, fast and straight forward.

I haven’t read any of the other replies - but if it is all about learning, why restrict it to uber established guys. Surely newbies would find it more informative?

As much bitching as learning so far.

To be honest it has been a lot of bitching and ego massaging so far. Seem to recall why the last one of these closed now

What's the shower valve in the second bathroom?

 

[Aire]

Recent bathroom install, the basin drawer unit came damaged so couldn't install it.

 

[king of pipes]

Very tidy Craig did you tile it aswell? My job is before and after photos i did it all customer supplied the materials all came from Easy bathrooms in Norwich you will find it online if your interested here's a better picture . Kop

I am a GSE, not a plumber, and dont do bathrooms. But how would you maintain or replace the bath trap? Not having a go - I know this is now normal - but I have never understood why, for example, one would fit taps between the wall and the side of the bath. I was always taught, and I thought it was required under plumbing regs, that all fittings should be accessible,

 

[Aire]

Thanks, really enjoyed this job, me and my apprentice did everything except the tiling and electrics, it was just a square room when we started.

Nice work, I was looking at the first pics thinking the bathroom looked a little dated for a new install 😀. Had a look at the shower, I thought with the push buttons it was a digital bar shower but they must be mechanical?

 

[Aire]

Future maintenance is always an issue with designs like this. It's always discussed with the customer before we go ahead. We supply an extra 2 boxes of matching spare tiles so that if access is ever needed, we can remove tiles from the panel, fix any issues and re tile.
