Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
Oh god, that's so frustrating isn't it. And the 1 they did fit is in some obscure location and either doesn't open or pee's out when you do open the thing.

I'm getting tired of newbies dragging up threads that are years old and mostly irrelevant, have been done to death and I suspect serve merely to get there post count up. #grumpygit

Nothing wrong with a hoody. I'm in a hoody after my bath every night after work. I don't wear them out or anything but I'd wear one the shop or on a small journey. I've got hoodies for work as well. I'm well cool as well 🙂

How can you be be cool? You haven't got a pump rotation test keyring and you've a one eyed ball of snot tattooed on your bum!
Haha.
I don't need a pump rotation keyring. I'm man enough to take the pump cap off and stick my screwdriver in to see if its spinning 🙂
plus only cool geezers have bum tattoos 🙂

Don't care about the hoodies but what is it with clowns standing round keeping their hands warm all the time sparks on a job has a lad working with him and he does it all day long if he was working for me I'd damn near sack him just for that alone

I do like the hard copy though. Makes good bed time reading, drives the miss's wild:drool5:
Not endorsing piracy, but anything that's viewable on the Internet is downloadable and therefore printable ;-) googles your friend!
Carry on mate. I went out with a teacher for 7 years and they are the most moaning bunch of people I've ever met. They all need a reality check.

She made you put your hand up for permission to speak, didn't she.
All the time mate 🙂
i had to sit in the floor to watch the tele with my legs crossed and my finger over my lips 🙂

lame plumber
getting a late fri callout for an immersion issue, walking in and having a look, check the wiring, switches, fuses and flick up the dodgy mcb to make it work and he offers you a £5 for your trouble then winges when you give him the invoice. then winges more when you tell him its not your time he is paying for but your experience and that his bath will be hot in 60 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know quite a few teachers! They can be a tad patronising at times shall we say!

I've got far too much to rant about! So I'll stick with plumbing related issues....
People who put cupboards around boilers without leaving room for servicing.
Roid head plumbers who over tighten every compression joint, when bits of brass are coming off the nut, it is tight enough!
Other trades moaning about how much plumbers charge....How often does your trowel get calibrated? When is you WoodSafe registration due? Exactly, f**k off!

Custards who like to hide the gas meter under a pile of crap under the stairs that takes 20 mins to clear ..........
And the ones who boild shelves in front of boilers so you cant remove the cover.......or the bracket screws cos they roundes the heads off with a cheap diy electric driver....

went to a service 12 months ago, low and behold it was a gw fuelsaver circa 1980s. thermocouple was burnt out (failed to mention). closer inspection revealed the overheat interrupter had been linked out. Custard suddenly couldnt remember who did it. so got new bits and carried on service. yay gasvalve was passing so new gasvalve. went back 2 days later cos guess what pilot had gone out relit and explained probably overheated and thats why mr dodgy had linked overheat out. custard hasnt paid and now says since i went the pilot constantly cuts out and it isnt working so hes not paying....so went back today to explain i hadnt broken the boiler and its doing what its supposed to do and its bad circulation..to which his wife says it worked fine for nearly 30 years till i got there..............I HATE lying custards..
I would have slapped a ticket on it and charged for the privilege, easy to say on the internet I guess. These are the kind of situations I worry about. Feel for you mate.

Moved into my new house 2 years ago and ripped out the disabled jaccuzi bath ( the door type), My old man came round and asked if he could have it for his house cos hes a bit frail...asked him today if he wanted me to fit the bath for him cos he hadnt mentioned it for ages.....awkward silence then told me he'd flogged it on ebay for £250...parents eh gotta love em.

Speedfit!!!! I do 99% of my work in copper, currently at a job where the bathroom guy has left speedfit tails for me to connect on to.
What is with the inserts? Trying to push them home with a few inches of pipe protruding from the underside of the floor whilst stood on a ladder is getting tiresome! You need syper human strength and acrobatic balance!
I hate plastic pipe even more now!!!!

Just took delivery of a milwaukee 28v set up only to find 1 battery appears to be used and the charger is buggered!!!
Made mistake of saying i would do a combi swap for a mate yesterday. Didnt manage to start until 2, he was supposed to have removed boiler (gas already off) so thought i would be done by 6-7 at latest. He questioned everything i was doing, kept pushing in to try do daft little bits when i was trying to work, went to merchant and came back with wrong stuff! I left the boiler uncommisioned at 1am this morning as the regulator is buggered!!:32:

That really kick started my hatred for it. Stuck under a "mobile home" for two days, in the cold, dark and wet replacing plastic pipe for copper using pushfit copper fittings!
Had to work on my back, amongst dead mice, droppings and try to shuffle about under the chassis which came as low as my chest!
Drove me mental mate but calmed down now just got to look forward to going back and commisioning it.
dole scum tenants that have been there all their life and expect everything for free and dont like it when they dont get it there way..
Big corporate businesses turning to the plumbing industry to cash in which in turn takes away work from small businesses..
the government and their green deal, the letting agent i work for are having 20 boilers replaces, 20 boiler jobs i wont be getting.. thanks..

I have these and they are awful, they don't strike, even light em on the hob and they still go out!
Garbage arnt they! It's all pts sell though, I use about 8 checking case seals!
I had a Neta heat to check the other week, and had these. Crap things, I had to borrow a box of matches to light em.
I also run a mirror around case seals. Any steam on the glass is a good give away.
