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

1st fixing in a bungalow, this is one of 3 main pipe drops.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Installing cast stacks in warm weather it’s not the best but looks good

 

[Aquarius]

Painting the house, so tedious and laborious

 

[SimonG]

Answering phone, messages and texts. Today things have just gone mental.

Trying to finish a job off then to look at an air locked hot water system.

3 sec Ladder and pulley same as push fit but more of a pita as there really really tight to account for any defects in the casting

Meant to add this photo yesterday.


2nd drop nearly done.

Anchor at the top where the brick jumps out then a 4-1 pulley and yes plenty you even have to insert a plug first to make it easier for the pipe to go in, so plug in lube the pipe up remove the plug insert the pipe around 40kg of pressure needed (roughly) helps if the rubbers are warm will take a pic of the fitting tomorrow

Yeah who needs fittings.....

What does a length of pipe weigh?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What does a length of pipe weigh?

Around 20 kg for 1.8 and 35kg for 3m

 

[king of pipes]

Toilet overflow ?? Any reason

C'mon, I repiped the cold and got rid of the boxing on the wall under the window.


Seriously though, didn't want to pay for a new syphon, even though I had the toilet apart.
I would have changed it, but there you go.
Sods law, is it may need one now anyway.

The floors the best bit, nearly a full tile, 65mm, from one side to the other. I said I could level it, but again didn't want to pay.

Cor I've wrestled with a few cc cistern overflow's in my lifetime - was great when England approved internal overflows (warning pipes) - on the other hand how much water is wasted down the pan every year........??

I concur Mr Corbs. (20 character ruling - think I preferred the 5 word )

I think people tend to get them fixed quicker with the internal overflows.

But it's one of those jobs where its dripped for 4 months but it's an emergency at 4.00 on a friday afternoon.

I think people who have water meters tend to get them fixed quicker

Although have seen some extended with a hosepipe to a gulley

always the same they pay for some stuff and say keep the old kit

Naa has the old man with me holding the rope from the pulley f doing cast on my own been there done that takes longer

 

[SimonG]

Had somebody message me this morning, I need an outside tap fitting tomorrow.

It didn't end well.

Apparently me saying it would be at least 3 weeks was totally unacceptable.

Go figure.
