I’ve worked through the pandemic, only things that are different is: our customers attitude - some think the jab is the be all and end all. Also our working policy is to wear a mask still until August. I was and still am undecided about the jab. PPE has remained the same, gloves and mask. Minor supply issues.

Morning everybody.

1. Hope you are all well. What have you got on today / the rest of this week?
2. How are we all feeling? I think we need help each other out a bit when we're in times like these. Hope you're doing okay.
3. When are you up for your jab? - Do you know yet?
4. How's work, is it still trickling through or has it dried up? Or perhaps you're booming at the moment with boilers breaking left right and center.
5. What PPE extras are you taking?
6. Which suppliers are open physically? Which are online only? Where are you getting your stuff from?

Answer all or any or nowt. Let's see if we can check in and help each other out.

I can attest to bad back / you have to watch what you do also it’s a pain eg kitchen cupboard/ tight lofts

😂😂😂 Put them there just in case. But to be fair they came straight out. Surprised it had not dropped.

Nice work chaps looking good, i've got 3 more to do and then I'm thinking of not doing anymore, they just take to long to complete and are working out quite expensive as a consequence, I'm falling behind on boiler and heating work which is better paid and quicker to turn over I think I'll take a step back from bathrooms for a while . Cheers kop

Looking at 3 on Sunday afternoon. But agree they seem to be taking longer to do.

It’s when everything is hidden away it all takes longer, used to just cut two notches in bath panel and run pipes to basin- can’t imagine doing that now!
Also wall hung toilet - frame, boxing, hardibacker, tiles, often built in shelving etc - 3 days or more. Just whack in a close coupled an hour or so.

I’ve got this atm they don’t like the mcalpine trap on the bath and the legs that came with the bath they supplied (old style plastic cast iron roll)
