What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

.
She is almost there Kop, waiting on the new dashboard and gauges to turn up and the canopy guys to come and fit the new canopy, they are doing it because it`s never had a front canopy so need to fit the turnbuttons as well which I didn`t fancy doing tbh then once the galley and carpets are done that`s it for this year then need to refill the bank account before a paint job on the outside next summer.

That's the thing with boats mate they can be a bit of a money pit always something that needs doing sure it will be worth it in the end . Cheers kop

 

[Last Plumber]

Do you work from a MEWP?

Yes. There is no other way in my opinion. I have in the past worked off more dangerous things but those days are gone.

I have had two boats...whats the second best memory of owning a boat...when you buy it
the best memory is when you sell it....I cannot agree more..but at least they are cheaper
than your wife's horses...never owned any but know a few who have..bad news

Previous owner decorated that cistern lid. It's my toilet. I just put the cat on it which my mum gave me as I thought if it's going to look ridiculous may as well finish the job.

It's the original cast iron bath and the gap was mighty tight. Only going half height.

Normally do that, same with the shower area.

How do you secure the bath once tiled?

 

[SimonG]

How do you secure the bath once tiled?

I tile down to within one tile/cut tile. Batten, fit bath as normal then fit last row down to bath.

Just helps minimise potential of damage to bath or shower tray.

Looking good so far bud . Cheers Kop

 

[Stigster]

Another beauty. I've saved both Scott's and Chalked's images to show to the apprentices the high standards they should be trying to achieve. Both of you are doing top quality work.

 

[Scott_D]

One from a few months ago

 

[Chalked]

bit further today.
to aswer the questions above, the outputs are 24kw each, so,50kw.
the Spirocross is a low loss header and microbubble de aerator.

I love the laser on the cylinder😎😉

 

[king of pipes]

Glad to get this one out the way

 

[Stigster]

Today I am installing a plumbing bay in the workshop with an electric boiler, unvented cylinder, 2 radiators and 2 underfloor circuits and manifold. Our level three students are going to be working on controls so I put in all the pipework and leave gaps where the controls/pumps have to be fitted and wired in to a board they have made up. Then they go live with the system and see if it all works.

I already have one bay set up for this but this year the group is larger than normal so I need the extra facility to prevent a bottleneck on the course. All pretty standard stuff really but I like doing these installations as the conditions are good.

 

[Scott_D]

Nice kitchen KOP
Can you post a picture Stigster? Would be good to see
