What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

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

 

[Scott_D]

Vaillant for vaillant and found the gas was lead so had to change that.

It’s a pipe reaming tool (possibly bahco?) I have a monument one, although sometimes the blade falls out of the end.

 

[Scott_D]

Yes mate gone crazy my way aswell everyone wants me at the minute ! Finally finished this shower room clients love it but didn't like the bill 😂😂

 

[Ben-gee]

Nice one KOP, yes all those units add up - they could’ve had a basin/ped and bog in a box for less than £100 - but that’s probably what you chucked out in the first place.
As long as they cough up that’s the main thing.

Some sadistic w⚓ who whilst adding an extra skin of stone, so a three ply wall, thought it would be great to fill the cavity with small pebbles. Played havoc with the core drill.

Had similar issues with prefabs - absolute nightmare to drill through, even worse when trying to clip stuff 🤬🤬🤬🤬

 

[SimonG]

I give up with the core, struggled to get a pilot hole through but got it through, then come back through from outside. But then couldn't get my pipe through. Put the sledgehammer through the half stone in temper.

 

[king of pipes]

Fitted a Ideal Vouge 26 gen2 in a cottage nice bit of kit all worked out well, the client only had a gas fired water heater , a couple of Baxi Brazilla heaters, that's were over 20 years old plan is to add more radiators at a later date so fitted one below in the hallway to get him up and running cheers kop.

I have a proper flushing adapter for the old style
The new one feels cheap
Its a faf to fit, the nuts come off the valve
Feels like a downgrade to me
