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

Been on wood butchery duties this week 😂 framing out this new shower in the ensuite, carrying on in this property from last week getting the low level tray fitted was a challenge had to cut out more than I liked but it's coming on now . Kop

I wouldn't worry about it, sometimes it has to be done 😂 I've seen much worse in the building trade than notched joists - found a floating cavity wall once

Anyone’s arse start twitching when you have to cut holes in this stuff 😀 can never double check too much

Yes. It's also annoying now, none of our suppliers store them right so they're all bowed to f*** Have a right nightmare fitting them sometimes. I'll also refuse to fit the MDF ones, but now multipanel have started using MDF. Managed to get a different brand at our local builders merchants.

Yep these ones were the “new” mdf ones which came with smiles luckily the mp addy is good and strong using 3 tubes per full board

I won't use mdf, local merchants uses Perform Panels which are still ply.

Need to get the current wetroom finished. Then a four day new bath, basin and a bit of tiling to round off another busy year.

Been slowed down as Mother in Law passed on Friday, not unexpected at 95 but still heartbreaking for the wife and kids. Last couple of days were rough as she'd had no fluids for 10 days and heavily sedated.

EvilDrPorkChop, nice one.
Can you tell me where that basin/wc unit is from and how wide it is, cheers.

It’s Tavistock and it was 1000mm wide (I’m pretty sure)

We got it from James Hargreaves, so I’m not sure if they badge it up as one of their own. It was really good quality though 👍🏻 have been impressed with the Tavistock furniture of recent.

Fitted this whole house water filter today, supplied by customer. Wondering if it’s worth having one at home 🤔

Finished this one off handed over to the painter and sparky now

Wish the sink silicone came out better but had to hide a few holes from the old inset sink etc

Yeah.

Yeah I didn’t have enough room to pull a bend and didn’t want the restriction of an endfeed
