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

Don't forget everyone, the clocks go forward tonight!

Have a lovely Easter!

 

[Lou]

Hi everyone - How is everyone after the Easter Break?

I have a question, how many of you work away from home during the week? Do you stay in a hotel that is ok or a bit pants? Is it provided by the company?

 

[Dan]

Goodness I have had an awful week! Got Tonsilitis Tuesday - 10 days of antibiotics now. Did you all have a better week than that?

Any plans for the weekend?

[Timmy D]

Just finishing up 2 x boiler installs (with custom lead roof pieces), been on hold until building exterior works/scaffolding.

Nice lead work matey.

You mind if I use it for a blog or two? Will credit you and link to your FB page or Website or whatever?

Old listed building all copper all press. 3 zones, towel rail circuit, hot secondary balanced and cold main. 30 cast iron rads 3 cast baths and an external cast stack to fit. Chased 28mm plus lagging and passovers wasn't much fun, ended up taking out 60kg+ of screed and concrete for it. The job is a beast but it is certainly never a boring day there

 

[Lou]

At least it looks dry when the roof work was done, yesterday it would have been a nightmare

That is a lot of pipes in that old house, do you have to do things a certain way if it is a listed building?

How are you feeling today @SimonG ?

 

[Dan]

Good Morning Everyone,

How is everyone doing?

How are you finding the forum layout? @Dan has been tweaking it a bit.

 

[Goodman212]

Hello Plumbers, I am not very good on computers, but today I have an OK day out of the rain doing some gas safety tests today.

Have a good one

[MrBlueSky]

I have a week off although it is almost over now! Been nice having no alarm clock shouting at me.

 

[Lou]

Hi everyone, is everyone doing ok? So much for Summer starting, last night it said on the news there might be frost next week!!

 

[Lou]

Morning everyone,

What has everyone got on this week?

Did anyone watch the Euros match last night?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Finished this one off then a couple of gas tests

 

[SimonG]

Unfortunately watched the football. First game in donkeys. We looked great for 30 minutes then went back to Southgate mode. Preferring the T20 world cup.

Been dotting about for last week and half after my chest infection ended up as pneumonia and a hospital stay for some iv antibiotics. Start full bathroom tomorrow, will be interesting.

Oh no I hope you are recovered now? Pneumonia is not nice at all.

I heard a rumour that the weather is meant to perk up over the next week or so, we might actually get a Summer after all!

 

[Lou]

Anyone see the shocking behaviour of Just Stop Oil last night?

I was really angry at them for spray painting Stonehenge! I think it is shocking behaviour, they should throw the book at those people!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I think they should be made to swap for someone who wants to be in the uk eg migrant etc

Oh I don't think I have heard that one before but I see where you are coming from!

I don't approve of those people who are trashing banks either!

Seems a nice day today, anyone got any plans this weekend?

 

[Savva1985]

All good

.

 

[Dan]

Evening people. What you lot been up to?

 

[Lou]

Been super busy these past few days!! And I do not know where Summer has gone at all!

Everyone ready for voting tomorrow??

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Already done and think it’s gone for winter

 

[Dan]

I've merged the good morning and what you got on this week threads.

 

[Dan]

How are you guys getting on? Would you get more work or less work during school holidays?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Private work dies off because most people go on holidays / no spare money for projects etc but commercial eg schools pick up and it’s always a race to the end to cram in x amount in 6 weeks

I've got to take out a roll top, free standing, acrylic bath. Customer has requested I take the old bath away... what can I do with it? There's nothing wrong with it just too narrow to be practical, previous owners of the house had more style than practicality. Is it ever worth hanging on to things like this in an attempt to re-use or sell.
I don't usually do bathroom work, but this looks fairly easy..ha ha!

Not unless you have a lot of free time on your hands.

Don't forget that anything you get by selling it will be taxable income. (It was acquired and sold in the course of your business.)
