What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Yep I like them too, I bought some from Williams although they only go to 28, JTM do 35 and probably larger.

yep mine was from jt but I tend to use press on 28mm and over due to the time saving

I’m thinking of using them too, have recently seen two pinhole failures on the outside of pulled bends - one the customer said was only three years old. I presume thin/poor copper to blame? - both on dhw outlets on unvented

Been working on a new dentists surgery - was a PITA that they didn't get me in before the cabinetry was fitted 😡

Did they have secondary returns on the DHW @Ben-gee ? I happen to always use either Wednesbury or Lawton's copper and haven't ever had pinholing yet.

Wish I could afford a Novopress ACO 103, hired one for 3 weeks recently, it was excellent to have on the van and use in various situations! 😀

coppers getting thinner and thinner these days and then reducing it even more when you pull it’s like paper

I know bud. By the way I hate them copper tap tails, they either should be brazed into the tap or tap supplied with flexi's with 1/2" female swivel on the end. Hate copper tails nearly as much as cheap gate-valves!! 😛

 

[Keefy]

Hhmmm people can be strange sometimes interested to know the outcome of this one . Kop

Bit late now (bit tipsy too) but I'll get round to sharing the details of why I was 'kicked off' the job for the first time ever in my 20 years of plumbing. Saw the customer tonight in the pub actually; begging me to come back by the way. Letting him sweat while I make a decision. He saw three regular patons approach me for work the night he 'sacked' me and two tonight. He said "I can see you're already busy but will you come back as I have no faith in this new fella that came to look at the job tonight." - I did that steriotypical plumber-sucking air through his teeth thing and said... "I'll think about it."

You will never please everyone all the time whats acceptable for one customer is maybe not for another act proffesionally during work hours respect your customer and their property , you are only a guest invited into their home you most definitely dont have to like everyone you work for do the work , get paid and move on waste of energy getting upset by Mr Dick 😂😂.

Hhmmm oh we ????

 

[SimonG]

Just received an invitation to tender. Small kitchen extension, new underfloor and move extend soil and vent.

I now the customer well, shes employed an 'architect'.

Umpteen attachments including the plumbing spec. Think hes just trying to justify his large fees.

Going to reply, copy in customer, asking is he really sure he wants 32mm traps on the kitchen sinks 🤣🤣

 

[king of pipes]

Videos dont seem to load so pictures will have to do I'm afraid chaps.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Nice magnacleanse positioning mate.

Another one bites the dust 😀 not 100% happy with this one might recommend removing the bottom sections and coming out of the ground as the top bit is heading to the left

but it was pussing it down so cba atm got to go back to remove the old one and brick up
