I thought that also but was told to do it low level and the route I did itAs for the run if it was me, I would of came out the wall where you did up the back of the soil pipe along the wall round the corner over the window and drop down

You're right. Man gonna be up all night worrying about it :/ I'm sure I didn't take his direction wrong because I called him before I ran it to double check that's what he wanted and discussed the job with him after and said again how I ran it. Man already panicking about it nowNothing wrong with the way you did it and you where told to do it that way, but from a damage point of view if its up high its not going to get knocked or bashed

I knew I should of trusted my gut feeling @@@@@anyone else thinking the run should of been in 28mm?
and jay looks ok other than the step bit but thats the only thing

I don't like doing things which aren't correct, it makes me feel like a @@@@! Especially with gas.. 🙁live and learn but if your boss told you to run it that way your fine
Snap! Sometimes I preempt a callback even though I know its fineI don't get anxious but I worry, i always doubt myself, like everytime a regular customer rings up I think oh god whats gone wrong, whats leaking. Its rarely the case but I always breathe a sigh of relief..

Regular job?I don't do pressure anymore, that's why I left my job 4 odd years ago, high blood pressure, no good
Now I take it easier, do jobs I can do, try not to over think them.
I also used to try & do too much which put me under pressure
Now I do what I'm comfortable doing, if that's 1 job or 2 then that's ok.
Stress & worry are the evils in today's working life.
They're not for me anymore.
Tomorrow I've got a regular job plus a plumb job. I might finish by 1 or it might take until 4. I don't rush, just take it easy.
Not a plumbing contract? What type of work is it?I've got a regular contract. Small daily job for an hour.
This is exactly the reason I wish I'd done a proper apprenticeship ... Its bloody hard learning on you're own!!!!! There was no room to go under the door, it was an option I looked at.@~@
your boss is a knob!!
i would have gone under the door at least (less work n materials) rand it in 32mm white pvc kick guard and clipped either end if didnt fit under threashold.
or, as you know, first floor level and drop down!
also bit low to floor!
neat though 😉

I'm gonna speak to my boss tomorrow, I'm really starting to worry about it now.
I'm doubting whether I took his instruction correctly :/
He said, go around the stairs, that's going around the stairs, right!?;?!?
Mate I wish I was as calm as you about life. I get very rare days where I'm chilled with work and it feels so nice to give my mind a break. But they're seldom around and all I get all day is a war between good and evil lol one voice trying yo win a battle against the negative sh** I tell myself all the time. Its tiring.Onto the more serious subject.
I've never bothered about anything in my life from work to personal. If shyt is going to happen it will happen and when it does i'm not going to panic about it.
What is going to happen, nothing. Everything can be dealt with. Just go with the flow.
However i've worked with a couple of guys over the years who could best be described as a bag of nerves. They were good enough at what they did but lacked confidence and how to deal with a fk up situation (we've all had them)
When i was younger it was funny to watch them but as i got older i would help them deal with it. Hard to say how but mainly by sending them out the room, dealing with it then talking confidence into them.
Maybe the confidence thing is because people jump into the deep end these days without the rubber ring we had.
Here is one from last week.
Fitted a cloakroom suite for a woman, back to wall pan and basin. Fitted the pan turned the water on and went out for a ***.
Woman runs out saying the water is running down her hall. Fs i've only had 2 drags: so walks back in (never run) and sure enough the water is running out the cloakroom door, ballcock running at full whack and running over the top of the cistern (some cheap internet rubbish).
I just turned the valve off and said "good job that wasn't in yer upstairs bathroom or you woulda had a ceiling down. Get me a couple of towels and i'll dry this up. Btw i told you that cistern was shyte i'll go buy you a real wan".
Take it in your stride and never panic is the best i can offer.
