Good to see you back on mate. Where you been hiding? Hope you're keeping busy.

how did the advert at the football work out for you in the end?

Hi mate, it was OK returned 2 x boiler changes, it was while we were in the 3rd division also maybe next year it would be worth more, paid for itself, and a little more, good for branding tho!

Ash you have been on here from the start of your career and we have seen you come on leaps and bounds
You have a great work ethic and take pride in trying to learn and get better
Your a credit to yourself and anyone looking to get into plumbing should take a leaf out of your book
Well done and keep it up
Thanks. I appreciate it, I still have so much to learn. It's the heating install side of things I enjoy most. Conversion from Y plan, S plan etc to combi such as this I seem to struggle with. Doing the work is ok but I doubt myself and get confused with what connections I need to be making with the heating pipes! Really enjoying things though and I feel as though I have come on a lot. I enjoy the work and I enjoy learning new ways to do things. I'm probably never going to be the quickest but as long as I do it right I'm happy. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Mate we all learn everyday and you will always doubt yourself
And you will even wake up at night thinking did I do that or did I turn that water off lol
Happens to us all

I priced a similar job for 4 days. Its takes just as long to install pipes badly as it does nicely so why rush at it? I'am not the fastest and don't claim to be.
64 year old guy I did my apprenticeship with would work at a slow steady pace and would still be way faster than me when I had a rush on haha

Ash,I haven't read all the posts. One thing to remember if your employed, you don't want to be to fast. You'll just end up disappearing up your own sphincter! Your boss will get richer and you more stressed.
Self employed, different beast.

I know my boss expected it done quicker but I'm not going to flap too much about that, he knows im still learning and I have to do these jobs to learn the jobs. 12 months from now and I'll be laughing when I get a job like this.

he can have it done in 1day , but he will then need to pay you min £700-£800 labour
