3rd job - 15 mile away. Blocked loo. plunged and flushed nicely

Just got a call for an outside tap.

"Can you come and do it now?"

"I can do it in 2 weeks if that's okay?"

"That would be great!"

And now u have a surplus gas valve !

I've 2 2" multiblock gas valves in the shed that were submerged last year that I keep meaning to get round to cleaning and testing.

This one was a brass safety valve.

my last job was to change an inlet valve. design of toilet meant you had to take cistern off but bolts rusted to hell, no access to cut and pan concreted to floor. but it was a fluidmaster so i thought, 'just pull top off old one and plonk new one on'

tiniest disturbance of valve started leak on back nut underneath. no access to get to it. spent an hour fighting with bolts. got one off, the other - no chance.

so they need a new loo. turns out they wanted one and were pleased. so all's well...

Bloke in the yard said to me the other day "Why are you always smiling?"

"Because I have absolutely no idea what's going on!" I replied.
