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

5 hours in total getting the air out the system took a good while though as it was open vent it has to be done again and again or you'll keep getting a L9 fault . Kop 👍

Ads are covering messages, Google ones close but then the same one or another reappears. The ad choices ones just close the ad but leave a box on the screen, immensely frustrating now. Not even bothering trying now.

Sorting out a leaky shower for a client this one was a very poor botched attempt and a big disappointment as they paid decent money , hopefully I can rescue it . Kop
