That room looks like a pikeys dream! Hope it's still there Monday! Lovely job mate. Nice to see someone who clearly takes pride in his work.

Really? None, though I haven't fully pressurised the new one yet as the mains pressure is pants and I'm installing a booster setup next week. I solder all day most days, 99% of the time I can tell if a joint doesn't take when I'm soldering it.
 
Cheers mate, so many positives to pulling bends than using fittings.
 
How do you know where to bend when there's multiple bends on a full length? I got lost after more than 2 tbh. You must be on a good wage mate

Honestly mate I don't know, I just learnt, my bends are all by eye. Never even went to college so the tape measure rarely comes out for em. Experience beats all!
And for my wage, its acceptable, could be a lot better but my boss looks after me, has kept me in full time work for 11 years which I know isn't easy to do in the current climate so I respect him for that.

I know I've said it already but quality work there. You should be proud of it mate.
 
Obviously thought about it a lot, but I'm happy where I am at the moment. Guaranteed wage. And work with some pretty cool guys, I'm the oldest engineer on the firm at 27 hahah custards do tend to wobble abit when they first answer the door.
 
Nice work mate! That really is top drawer stuff! I can see you take huge pride in doing your work & doing it well!
 
Yeah I now that feeling when I do quotes sometimes people ask how old I am, and Its kind of annoying, as I no ill do a better job then most. Have lost a few jobs over it aswell.
 
That's life, what will be will be. People stereotype what plumbers should look like and my face doesn't fit, I'm more say...... Crime watch

Do u not fancy goin self employed whn1?

T.B r u a jobs worth ??

I guess I am, but only in that I'm a self employed plumber who wants to do a good job for my customers and leave a positive lasting impression. If you think that's a bad thing, more fool you. In any other respect, no I'm not a jobsworth, tbh I'm not even sure how that accusation/insult came about.

could any one explain to me what does this mean ?

Takes too much care & attention to detail than is overly necessary! Well that's my interpretation, not sure if others agree. Sometimes I don't find this a problem! Rather do a good job than a rush job!
