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

I’ve worked through the pandemic, only things that are different is: our customers attitude - some think the jab is the be all and end all. Also our working policy is to wear a mask still until August. I was and still am undecided about the jab. PPE has remained the same, gloves and mask. Minor supply issues.

Morning everybody.
  1. Hope you are all well. What have you got on today / the rest of this week?
  2. How are we all feeling? I think we need help each other out a bit when we're in times like these. Hope you're doing okay.
  3. When are you up for your jab? - Do you know yet?
  4. How's work, is it still trickling through or has it dried up? Or perhaps you're booming at the moment with boilers breaking left right and center.
  5. What PPE extras are you taking?
  6. Which suppliers are open physically? Which are online only? Where are you getting your stuff from?
Answer all or any or nowt. Let's see if we can check in and help each other out.

Nice work chaps looking good, i've got 3 more to do and then I'm thinking of not doing anymore, they just take to long to complete and are working out quite expensive as a consequence, I'm falling behind on boiler and heating work which is better paid and quicker to turn over I think I'll take a step back from bathrooms for a while . Cheers kop

Looking at 3 on Sunday afternoon. But agree they seem to be taking longer to do.

It’s when everything is hidden away it all takes longer, used to just cut two notches in bath panel and run pipes to basin- can’t imagine doing that now!
Also wall hung toilet - frame, boxing, hardibacker, tiles, often built in shelving etc - 3 days or more. Just whack in a close coupled an hour or so.
