"Ever feel like your weapon isn't big enough?" Alan Davies on QI

Anything where an expedient and favourable outcome is very likely. Changing taps with good access and isolation. 3-part detatchable syphon change. That sort of thing. Stuff anyone could do with 5 mins training. That sort of thing. Really pushing boundaries.
 
Favourite is copper pipework that has to be on display (as per those excellent photos above) and where customer is more happy about me paying attention to quality and detail as opposed to time and price.

Next favourite is simple jobs with no complications. So anything from WC inlets (but not flush/siphon), replacing circulating pumps, boiler servicing with lots of space, etc.

Most rewarding (I know you didn't ask this) is fixing WCs for grateful old people where it gets their life back to normal, or an Aga where it's been noisy or not warm enough or just not been right for 2-3 years and I get quite a thrill when fixing an oil boiler breakdown.
 
attempting to drink all the beer in my fridge or work wise anything i have to use both my brain cells for
 
you hould have done it in really big flexis, saves time, or speedfit with big fittings, get paid quicker. then box it in, easy this job enit
 
Anything like the pictures posted by Gray above. Takes a bit of thought to work in and when it is done well the punters can see what they have paid for.
Nice work Gray. Well easy on the eye.

Cheers tamz from you I'll take that as a big compliment
 
do you not think receiving the payment is better than sending the invoice?
I have specific T&C`s if I get to the invoicing stage the work is done hence be it the receiver pays or the customer does.
we all do small jobs were cash is paid but them jobs do not really matter
