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

Upgrading cylinder to unvented and sealing the heating system. Moving to s plan with everything in the airing cupboard. Also getting rid of the surface mounted rad pipes and hot and cold to bathroom going under the floor.

You been doing floor tiling, or am I missing something?

 

[SimonG]

You been doing floor tiling, or am I missing something?

For certain customers yes. This was sort of a job that grew.
Started off moving the cloakroom ready for an extension next year. So tile cloakroom floor, wc and basin etc. Then it was we have these tiles for the hall but I dont want my husband to do them. So I cracked on.

Wouldn't generally just do a Tiling only job.

How did you level the floor mate?

 

[SimonG]

How did you level the floor mate?

Normally I would do a pour of self levelling but it was pretty good. I used a few of the levelling clips by the staircase as it was a little out.

I’ve learnt a lot and it’s given me a good insight to what’s to come eventually eg heat pumps etc

Whats the cost and hours involved Shaun ??

Cost is on the above link, hours involved I think it depends on how quickly you pick it up and get the questions right?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Whats the cost and hours involved Shaun ??

It too me around 10 hours for part 1 and and about 9 hrs for the second I think but I need to go back through it again especially the first part as I found this the hardest

That looks pretty tidy to me. I need a dry day with no interruptions to sort mine. Long days and just throwing stuff into it is no good.

Mine looked like that about 3 hours before posting the above picture mate. I feel your pain.

The optimaxx ones you can see mate? I use them on any woodwork I need to do. They sit flat to the surface.

No the brass ones

 

[Harvest Fields]

What made you buy shares in Stanley? 😂

The big ones I got about 15 years ago from a well known diy store with only 2 letters from the alphabet in its name. They were on offer. I think they were £12.00 for 3, so got 3 sets. The smaller ones I have I got for an absolute Steal. Got about 32 of them for £10.00 (and they are brilliant. They interlock with each other with side clips)

 

[Harvest Fields]

No the brass ones

You’ve lost me. Put a circle around them mate.

I’m thinking it’s these?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I’m thinking it’s these?

Yep

 

[Harvest Fields]

Oh blimey. Blast from the past. As the good person above mentioned. They were for fixing toilet pans down. But I don’t use that version anymore. I use the Fischer version as they are prettier.
