Just in the evening ? Or do you clock off ?

That was in the evening after a days work too. If I couldn’t make any jobs they’d get pushed back to the next day. Had 41 jobs today, but my manager and another engineer helped out.
Had a customer on the phone to me today, I couldn't get to fix their worcester se oil combi due to the mother in law dying.
They got somebody else in, heating was fine, no hot water.
So they've been charged £765.00 for pump, diverter head, diverter body and 5 visits.
After first visit they changed head, hot water worked, no heating but only found out after they went.
Second visit was told it was an air lock. Still no heating.
Third visit, fitted a new pump. Still no heating.
Fourth visit new diverter body. Heating and hot water worked for 24hrs.
Fifth visit, airlock and high limit tripped.
The total bill included the 5 visits at £65 a pop.
They asked what I thought about it.
I said for one thing, I need to up my prices and two they didn't have a clue.
Big company round my way as well.

I don’t as the vaillant ones don’t last so I don’t hold much hope for recon ones
Looking good Mr Evil bit of a challenge for you 😉👍
Message over the weekend, old oil Beta not working, no power to it.
Gets there this afternoon, fuse spur OK, power at timer and pump runs.
Boiler as dead as a fart.
Incoming power cable goes through case and round back of boiler, grabs cable and gently pull.
Hey presto end of cable not wired in anywhere. (Bearing in mind I fitted a new motor on the burner two weeks before Christmas and it was all good when I left).
Cable not pulled out as all in good condition and ready to be wired back in.
Nobody had touched it, according to customer.
But it didn't unwire itself.
Strange.

I went on a course years ago, and the only thing that stuck with me was 'The general public are liars and never believe what they tell you'. Mr invisible must have removed it.
Looks lovely.
Is it black or grey grout?
Well smart that one bud looking forward to the finished pictures. Regards kop
Boilers and Water heaters in nursing/care homes for next few week.
With all due respect to these places, I hope i'm not seeing a glimpse into my own future.
I imagine myself old, frustrated and trying to gain access to a plant room.
Hang on.............!
