What we all working on this week ?

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

No, returning customer. Have done their ensuite, now this bathroom and next one will be the other ensuite later in the year.

Busy at home with the hall and staircase. It was all dark wood, all sanded and now white satin finish, 12 doors grrrrr. Lining paper throughout with coving downstairs. 2 walls with a feature paper and 'elephants breath' emulsion over the lining paper. Just put the new vinyl laminate down in the hall and through into bathroom.
Only been on with it for the last 2 years 🤣🤣

Well it appears my time may be cut short. Gave customer a list of stuff to buy and from where.
Bath, furniture, wc and all the bits arrived last week.
The moonlight shimmer panels have not. Told me Wednesday. Wednesday 23rd ☹ Ah well.

Are they the covered ply type?
I have only used the all plastic type with the hollow centre, was for a budget shower area.

Yeah. I'll only use the marine ply wood ones. Stay well away from the MDF as they just end up swelling.

I've used the plastic ones and they're OK. But they're easily damaged.

I don’t know about Baxi but worth trying Williams if you havent already. They seem to have Vaillant and ideal

Same stuff, different week for me 😔 same boilers, same faults, might get the odd curveball. Nowhere near as fancy as some of what you lot carry out.

ShaunCorbs · Mar 21, 2022
