Dunno why you bothered with all that boarding and tanking etc, you could have just knocked it back to the brick and toshed a couple of coats of varnish!!!!

Sat in the dark waiting for the sparks to find the fault on the ring main.
Nothing worse than not being able to get on then not getting on on a Sunday afternoon.

Fitted a wall hung Aquaclean today (about £4000, I kid you not?!).

Well, I invoked plumber’s privilege and tried it out first as I think it’s one of the rules. Don’t suppose customer would be too thrilled!

Do you like the Walraven plastic pipe clips?

I've started using them they're expensive but very handy.

I think they are good, much better than talons and cheaper than munsens. I like that you get a but of adjustment when you place them and they clip in nicely. I get them from direct channel, they are online. What got me was I bought them from BSS first and they were Uponor branded and more than twice the price, was glad to find them on direct channel

Was asked by a local engineering workshop to connect a new bit of kit they had, said it need some electric and a water supply. Was told it should be quite quick to do, looks like it will be 2 days! Its an industrial parts washer for cleaning very small gears. Got to start the water supply tomorrow and install a settlement tank and drain major 😫
