View the thread, titled "What u guys on today" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

I have got a bathroom to finish the first fix on, then go back and second fix at the end of the week. Got another bathroom to finish the first fix on. Got two combi for combi swaps. Got a cooker to install, 4 cp12's and 3 breakdowns to fit in. I really should have started already, but I am lacking in motivation on this first bathroom haha.
 
2 landlords for a property management place then taking the kids swimming, to a pool 35 miles away in Perth...don't ask :lol:
 
Powerflush then removing all rads for a custard who's just bought a new house and is having it all decorated. Then paperwork this afternoon.
 
Not a lot! Pretty quiet at the moment, not that I mind. Couple of little jobs to look at today and a couple of CP12s, fitting some rads tomorrow, fitting a shower Wednesday and that's about it at the moment!
 
Just popped home, food and another shower!!!!

just been to install some steel pipework i pre fabbed,
will be popping out to change an f&e tank around.

its a bg special with a toilet filler......
after that i need to get my arse in gear and write up a load of stuff ive put off, silly me
 
I spent the morning on overcharging as usual.

Then I moved on to degrade some product quality, and replace some good products with cheap imports.

Hopefully I will have time later this afternoon to mix up some customers orders, and to forget to order some specials that I know are really urgent, and wrap up the day by opening up some Mira showers and removing random items from the boxes.

Its a tough life being a merchant. 🙂
 
today, a couple of quotes and fetching materials, paper work
tomorrow, gas pipework and gas fire service/ check
wednesday, repair leaking water main
thursday, boiler change
friday, demo and 1st fix bathroom.

I had a combi swap in Ascot today. Buderus boiler out, vaillant in. Nice start to the week!
 
Have brought paperwork up to date, cleaned kitchen, vacced lounge and dining room, weeded garden.

BORING, BORING, BORING. Please ring you useless phone and save me from this tedium.

I am actually waiting for two customers to pick the gear for their new bathrooms.

I moved a gas meter today. Replaced a couple of others and that's about it. Got some training to do for newbies too. More of the same tomorrow and need to sort a tap out.

Might crack open a beer as I'll be on call at the weekend!
 
Today/tomorrow fit New boiler and update gas and pipe configuration in airing cupboard, then hang a door in a bathroom I first fixed last week. Wednesday Thursday Friday are days of subbing.
 
DIYers youve gota laugh with there cistern fillers

I wish it was!

Done as part of bgs boiler swap two years ago, customer is disabled so like hes been up there.
obviously must have been short on bits.

he's used me on recomendation, ive sorted a load of bits and pieces in the place.
uptill now hes only ever used BG
 
Unblocked a sink at the local doctors surgery. Didn't tell me until I had it in bits that somebody had puked down it, one of these venesta things as well. All was clear except the outlet. The inch and a quarter ran under the concrete and out into the side of a trapped gully. No lid on the gully and 14 years worth of chippings up the pipe.

Repaired toilet, which put me in Darlington to pick up some gear and call to Maccy D's for 3 cheeseburgers and a large shake.

Then up into the sticks to change a 6m pump. Which would have been easy if my arms were 18" longer or I was 5 stone lighter. Whoever fitted it would have had red hot ears. Plus the bloke had had a go and it was leaking and the pump valves were passing.

Tomorrow its checkatrade at 9, then a toilet and then off to London.

I wondered who did the miras you little tinker!!!
 
Nice easy day for me.

4 landlord certs then changed a fan on a boiler this afternoon. Actually finished early today! An easy day was needed after such a busy weekend i'm shattered.

Not sure what I have on for the rest of the week as jobs come in all the time. I have a dodgy immersion to have a look at tomorrow morning 8am. Possibly swap the stat but if the element has gone will change the whole thing. so i might be there for 5 minutes or an hour. Then off to the office for the rest of my jobs.

Enjoying work at the minute, everything is starting to fall in to place.

Simon, take your passport and get jabs. Lock the doors an don't breathe air or speak to locals. Take plenty of ham peaspudding stotties, in case of an emergency.


London village is a scary place!
 
Its a flying visit. Staying at Slough Travelodge and then across to Heathrow to pick up the wifes sister.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ham and pease pudding 🙂

What area are you in? I'm interested to know how long people wait to get a written reply from the gas supplier allowing them to move the meter ;-)
