Started this morning, landlord check on a warm air system. Been checked previously and passed but no return air path so as well as stripping and cleaning the poxy thing I had to cut two frigging great vents in the stud wall as well as the tenant ranting on about the previous cowboys who didn't notice the lack of a vent you could chuck an elephant through.
On to job two. Back to yesterdays job which I didn't because I found wood worm in the floor under the old khazi and had to replace the boards and spray the joists. place is a tip but customer is paranoid about dust so everything near me is covered in plastic sheets. She also follows me about turning lights off. Due to lack of space I'd got my tools on the half landing and had the light on as there are no windows. Every time I came out of the toilet to get something the light had been turned off and the switches were up or down a flight of stairs. Shut off the cold main to cut a tee in for the new loo and cap off the old high level feed. It was dribbling slightly so I left the tap in the utility room on and told the customer to leave it on. I'm upstairs soldering when suddenly hiss and water ****es out. The bloody women had only turned the tap off.
Job 3, boiler service. 27 year old Glow Worm fuel saver and it's working perfectly, amazing.
It's now 6.30 and a landlord check to do on the way home in a void property. Get in there and see the boiler flue disappearing into the ceiling. Ring landlord and tell them I've got to cut a hole in the ceiling to inspect the flue elbow above. All praise the mighty multimaster, just got to nip back next week and stick a hatch in the hole I've cut.
