lame plumber
So I quoted stuoid money to avoid this oil boiler swap and still got it................ Stripped out the boiler on Monday, had to get the new one myself as the merchant screwed up delivery time, I know Ray I should have used you but havent got an account and cant get online with you.
So checked over the areas I worked on, and went to sort a leak in my sons offic before going home. 0030am, ring ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hello Jonathan, water is everywhere, through the ceiling ............ so off I went panicking for the 20 minute drive into the back of beyond.
Suspected f&e valve jammed, no overflow etc etc. Arrived and disappeared into attic, eventually found the source, a hep20 palstic in line tap on the f&e had blown, leaking out of the spindle, and as they weren't in until 7 and only went to bed at 10 water everywhere. But typical didnt know where stopcock was etc etc.
So wacked in a lever valve, and buggered off to bed. Back again today until 7pm, got it piped up, boiler fitted into original flue space (3 big paving slabs, she didn't want the 1 metre plus cob wall reholed, thank god)
Tomorrow, find somewhere for the condensate to go, pipe up oil feed, go and find the oil tank 🙂 set it up and bugger off. Bill them friday and show them how, if does, works. Lady was v grateful I turned out last night, seems they just had their water supply pump replaced on friday last, could have contributed to my problem!!
So how much for 2 hours call out after midnight? not my fault, their horrid plastic tap failed............ I hate this modern plastic crap, seems it went in due to acidic water from private supply, despite a roof full of mice, traps and poison everywhere.
