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

I booked a job for the end of September today. Was surprised when they said ok.

 

[Ben-gee]

I looked at one last night, told them booked up until end November- we pencilled it for ‘next spring’.

[ShaunCorbs]

Yep upto sept atm but that’s normal for us this time of year with schools

 

[SimonG]

Once upon a time I found February to be really quiet followed by August, not anymore.

I dont like booking too far in front in case things go breasts up.

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.

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.
