Really? None, though I haven't fully pressurised the new one yet as the mains pressure is pants and I'm installing a booster setup next week. I solder all day most days, 99% of the time I can tell if a joint doesn't take when I'm soldering it.

Are you just out to troll everything? You're a pain in the bum.
Top work Tony, love to see bends in the right place on a full length of pipe instead of sockets everywhere.
How do you know where to bend when there's multiple bends on a full length? I got lost after more than 2 tbh. You must be on a good wage mate

Nothing will leak!..... Until the kitchen is fitted and Gerard moves in!
I use elbows alot faster , but that is just me
Honestly mate I don't know, I just learnt, my bends are all by eye. Never even went to college so the tape measure rarely comes out for em. Experience beats all!
And for my wage, its acceptable, could be a lot better but my boss looks after me, has kept me in full time work for 11 years which I know isn't easy to do in the current climate so I respect him for that.

Yeah I now that feeling when I do quotes sometimes people ask how old I am, and Its kind of annoying, as I no ill do a better job then most. Have lost a few jobs over it aswell.

I guess I am, but only in that I'm a self employed plumber who wants to do a good job for my customers and leave a positive lasting impression. If you think that's a bad thing, more fool you. In any other respect, no I'm not a jobsworth, tbh I'm not even sure how that accusation/insult came about.

P.s. thanks for that lol

My face is more like pampers, I don't shave for 2 months
could any one explain to me what does this mean ?
T
TomLane
Takes too much care & attention to detail than is overly necessary! Well that's my interpretation, not sure if others agree. Sometimes I don't find this a problem! Rather do a good job than a rush job!

It's hard to explain Stan.
To me, it's someone who takes too much pride in insignificant/menial jobs to make themselves feel better about their crappy existence. For instance, the guys who won't let you in the tip without a badge, just for the sake of being an arse.
Or like me rush job that looks good 🙂
Cheers , thanks for the explination I understand now ! In my understanding its simmilar to OCD

Haha, not sure about that pal. I have a mate with OCD, he's a right nightmare sometimes, but he's not annoying on purpose.

That is a good example, another 1, a customer of mine just moved into new house and I did some work there I then found a leak on a old boiler he said he has just took out boiler cover as he new the boiler was old...good idea, he rings b.g and the engineer comes out the next day an says the boiler isn't right, a few little not to current standrd things although the boiler is 17 years old. Then he realises he has just took the contract up an says he is not going to change the part as he new he was trying to take them for a fool, which he wasn't. It's not like the b.g engineer was paying for the part or effecting his profit/wages in the end the engineer was nasty and trying to sell a new boiler so the customer literally threw him out, and complained to which he has had the part done now and some discount. That is a jobs worth

Thats a good example

No you did not Tony LOL, also it is good practice for combi inlet valve to be above the bubble, heat team will crib if they ever go UW......
Nice work though pal....
Pls explain Vern "combi valve to be above bubble "
T
TBServices
Combined valve should be above air bubble in megaflo
V
vern
If any thing goes wrong with the expansion valve or prv Stan, the whole cylinder has to be drained or more or less to the level of the valve you can see on the wall, if it is above the bubble (megaflo has internal expansion air gap so known as bubble top as are Oso cylinders, they dont require an external expansion vessel) no draining is required or very little

vern
Like this one i bashed in a nursing home, note coil AAV and DOC, also DOC on cold mains....combi vlave nice and high, you can just see secondary return on far left too :wink_smile:
