First time fitting a cold water tank tomorrow. Some questions

[armyash]

Hi guys

Fitting a 25 cold water tank tomorrow, taking out an old metal tank which looks as thought it is insulated with slabs of straw/hay. She had a leak in the loft last week, i went to investigate, obvious signs of water in the loft, metal tank with lots of rust inside and out. Time for a new tank.

The tank has 2 22mm outlets coming out next to each other, the overflow and then the cold in.

Is there specific measurement where i need to drill the holes for the outlets? what about the inlet?

It might sound stupid to ask but i'd rather get it right first time than get sent back to re-do it.

Thanks

What`s there to speak about, a tip is a tip and you are doing the work not your boss.

Dunno, I just think if the tenant tells the estate agent who then tells my boss it kinda makes me look bad so I'd rather have the conversation first than at least I can feel good about taking money from people

Fair enough but as long as you don`t entice the customer for a tip by holding your hand out and coughing then you`ve done nothing wrong.

I probably average £30 - 80 per month, always say No your alright thanks first then accept it when they insist which they always do.

I do the same, refuse & then take it. Not many people top me, mostly older people.

Had a guy last week who was scavenging for pound coins round his living room so he could give me a tenner tip as he'd only drawn out the quoted price. I stopped him at 7 quid as it was getting embarrassing 😉

I had a young couple tip me £40 cos I went back at 7am in my own time to finish a job for them.. Like an idiot I said I couldn't accept it ... (They weren't in at the time and just left in with a not for me).

Wish I bloody took it now

I would of left him looking and put my tools in the van and then gone back in myself, £3 is a pint, well almost. lol

Well when you put it in perspective like that... Haha I sure will

Yeah i always refuse once or twice then i take it, i used to feel bad because just doing my job but the BS we have to put wit sometimes this can even things up a bit. Have had one or two people stick their money back in their pockets as quick as anything though.
