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

Blast from the past I fitted this HRM Wallstar in 2003 that's 19 years ago same pump same expansion vessel been a good work horse this one , now time to upgrade so swapping it out for a Houndsfield external oil boiler got to rebuild the walls first 🤣🤣😉👍.kop

Vaillant 838. Not a pretty job, a few setbacks with the stop tap not working fully made it a rushed finished.

I have a 10 year old rems.
I get fittings from Williams, usually aqua gas but I only use it occasionally for speed or is there’s water or a quick repair due to cost of fittings.

I've got a couple of the Fatmax ones and various others.... I do like the Fatmax ones but at £15 - £20 each I think they're overpriced......

How do you get on with your Milwaukee pipe cutters Wayne?

I got a set from Screwfix 2 or 3 years ago, haven't used them much.

To be honest Jim I haven't used it much either but its a handy tool to have good for stripping out. Regards Wayne

Thanks @ShaunCorbs and @EvilDrPorkChop. Literally one of the hardest things to watch happen.

They're for the UFH controller and Fuse Spur for the Towel Rail. They're going in the back of the vanity out of the way and sight and reach.

They didn't want anything on show in the bedroom. They've got some Silk wallpaper that cannot be damaged as it's something ridiculous to replace and damages easily. And they don't want any Switches or Stats on show full stop. The bathroom who have supplied the lot really should of advised them better, already had to swap the UFH stat for one they can remote program off their phone.

That’s always the case they want to just sell what’s the outlet and control by the toilet ?

They're having an arse washer 🙄😂 No they aren't foreign either!

Don't get it, everything else is thermostatic but that. Raised it with the suppliers and customer but they say thats the norm. Love to see their face when they burn their arse off 🤣

Sorry for your loss. Family is more important than work at a time like that.

Not too bad thanks mate, 1st day back in today, it gets a little easier, guess it’s true that time is a healer. Funeral is towards the end of the month.
