Contrasting customers..

personally, I am on the 'bathroom from hell' so pi**ed off with it I cant be bothered depressing myself and typing anymore.

Well it's been a mixed week for me. On Monday I was starting a full heating system for a lovely old girl of 84 who's never had central heating in her life. Just a gas fire in the lounge. She greeted me at the door with a cheery smile and made me a great cup of tea. I think she was a little worried about having the work done but was so happy and grateful to be getting a bit of extra warmth. I told her that unfortunately the hot water would be off for a couple of days whilst the work was completed but she wasn't fussed in the slightest. The kettle was never off and for three days I was peeing like a racehorse! All done and dusted on Wednesday and she was genuinely delighted to have a warm house and a warm bathroom for the first time ever. A nice £10 tip and a bag of doughnuts were my reward. Happy days!

8 rads and baxi duotec combi. Boiler in airing cupboard, so hot and cold already there, gas directly below. 4 rads downstairs on two drops, 4 rads upstairs all under the floor. Downstairs rads take about 4.5 hours tops, hour per room upstairs and the rest on the boiler. No speedfit! Quite impressed with the baxi, not bad to install.

In an ideal world I'd take twice as long and enjoy it abit more but price work means I have to get it done as soon as poss. They pay 5 days money for the system so it's not so bad.

'I decided they would be without gas as well'. Brilliant, serves the chuff right. I'd have knocked the cold off as I arrived and not back on until I left. Might have even curled one out down the crapper, after flushing it first ti make sure its empty.

Arn't most of them now, did one a few weeks since , even tiles were so hard that I spent £70 on diamond bits and this was only for 8mm holes ! Tiler even said he'd never come across tiles so hard and then just when I thought I'd finished, customer turned up with a toilet roll holder, soap dish and mirror and said can you just put these up as well.
