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

Another bathroom job started all the old stuff is out the damaged walls and ceiling have been reboarded and skimmed, now putting it back together a split stone wall and floating furniture was a challenge on a metal stud plaster board wall 🫣. Kop

Quiet one today. Thankful for it, last week was heavy with that install.

Control box and magic eye on a mectron burner. Look at a job to install 6 designer rads, want pipes out of wall. Wayrock floors.
And.
Swap out knackered trv on a sealed system.

Then van turned poorly, rear pads, couldn't get it in till next week so managed to pick up a set and swapped them over. Real value for money on the old ones and lucky not to mess the discs up.
 
Got the lights and fan done a absolute mare with blown in insulation I had to remove it all fit hoods over the new lights to keep it away I'll lay more insulation over the flex to help avoid condensation 🙁 kop
