Stairs should be outlawed

[Mike Jackson]

Finished fitting a full system in a second floor flat with seven flights of stairs last night including removing 3 night store heaters. The final push saw me up and down the stairs loading the wagon up and removing the rubbish for 3 hours. I can hardly walk today. Must remember to get my nephew to take a few days off to help me if I get any more jobs like this.

Bit tough getting away with lobbing it over the balcony then. I did a bathroom on the sixth floor once that was a pain too but least got away with using the service elevator though

I worked in someones attic recently and found the old bathroom suite inc bath in the attic along with bags of tiles etc!! Didnt have the heart to tell the old couple as they were so pleased with the new bathroom their local plumber installed and it was sooo cheap! my bill to replace the leaking pipework from the storage tank put it up a bit, apparently the plumber didnt want to come back and investigate!!

i thought you were supposed to be fit due to running around with the wee hairy ones..........or are you just getting old like he rest of us?

I feel your pain, it's good idea at the time. Or did you put a big quote in thinking you wouldn't get it?

 

[Mike Jackson]

I allowed myself 5 days to do the job on the quote and did it in 5 days but had to pull away early a couple of times to sort out a couple of breakdowns and had a couple of late starts due to breakdowns so I was spot on time wise.

I got the job because i quoted for something different to everyone else. All the other quotes were for a combi but the existing gas supply was insufficient for a combi. It worked out okay for a system boiler alongside a cooker so I quoted for this with a SS cylinder and controls as well as for a combi with a new gas run and came out a much better price than all the quotes with a new 28mm gas run up the outside of the building.
