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

That looks pretty tidy to me. I need a dry day with no interruptions to sort mine. Long days and just throwing stuff into it is no good.

I bought mine was bad 😂😂😂

Mine looked like that about 3 hours before posting the above picture mate. I feel your pain.

Can I ask a question where do you use flat countersunk headed screws ?

The optimaxx ones you can see mate? I use them on any woodwork I need to do. They sit flat to the surface.

No the brass ones

The big ones I got about 15 years ago from a well known diy store with only 2 letters from the alphabet in its name. They were on offer. I think they were £12.00 for 3, so got 3 sets. The smaller ones I have I got for an absolute Steal. Got about 32 of them for £10.00 (and they are brilliant. They interlock with each other with side clips)

No the brass ones

You’ve lost me. Put a circle around them mate.

Yep

 

[Harvest Fields]

Oh blimey. Blast from the past. As the good person above mentioned. They were for fixing toilet pans down. But I don’t use that version anymore. I use the Fischer version as they are prettier.

Yeah it's got another 300mm above it 👍🏻 Was best place for it, otherwise pipes below boiler would of needed to come lower to accommodate it there.

 

[SimonG]

Well another pile of goodies and set up for next two ish weeks 👍👍

 

[SimonG]

Well it's another rough as bulls lugs jobs that's coming out. Didnt look too bad until started pulling it apart. Cladding in shower on top of tiles, floor tiles under lino. Floor falls away in two directions. Bath and shower wastes running up hill. Ah well. Sandwich time.

Yes you're probably right. A stainless one was considered, but at over double the price it seemed a lot extra. Considering that if there was excessive water down that end it'd be coming out the tray and into the room I was hoping it'd be OK, thrown in the fact good extraction, and it's a Zehnder not some cheap s***, fingers crossed

My personal preference would be next to basin, but as you say. What customer wants, customer gets. Especially with this customer too.
