Week before last and this week (I was off for a week in between) I’ve been installing “smart” products. Some thermostats that can give feedback for humidity levels etc, and some boiler monitoring devices. Also done a big fookup moment too (I will post on another thread).

It’s plastic everywhere you can’t see and poking through under the sink.
I’m liking Aquagas press fittings it’s just ugly.

Is that a transportable caravan?
ie: One you tow behind a vehicle for holidays and adventures?
Reason I'm asking is because we have bans on using press fit fittings in caravans.
We can't use them at all in Caravans.
Something to do with constant vibration when traveling, press fit fittings can become loose and leak.

It’s a static caravan / residential park home. It’s unlikely to ever move.

Not much to post on the work front , I've been on a trip to Porto in Portugal for my 60th birthday my wife surprised me on Thursday last week and we flew out Saturday for 4 days, had a great time and was throughly spoilt , we got alot done and saw alot the Douro valley was breathtaking and well worth the effort how they sculpted the valley to produce the vines was amazing the architecture in the city was breathtaking had some really good food and wine and family time .
Only damper was I had a positive COVID test when I got home not felt 100% during the trip but been so busy didn't worry about as was out in the fresh air each day , now resting up I did a bit of work Friday in a empty house but nothing over the weekend. Regards kop

Just swapped out a classic for baxi 616 with rear flue. Told the customer I'd replace toilet internals if boiler went well and I ran out of things to pretend to struggle with.
Regretted it on my way to van for the angle grinder!

That's a coincidence I've got this one to do condemned it yesterday hardest part is finding a Baxi boiler
any pictures of yours bricking the flue up can take a good few hoursAttachments

Had a phone call this morning from Wolseley saying they can get the 830 Baxi I need for Tuesday. (Result)

Found the cause of the overheating of the old girl I couldn't source a Baxi so a Glowworm Easyheat will be installed tomorrow it's £300 Cheaper and still has 5 years warranty so will do the job this will be housed in a kitchen wall unit in the utility room . Kop

Looks great, roughly how much did the job cost the customer do you know? The whole job.

Labour and supplying stuff and materials (Excluding Tiles, customer supplied) £9k inc VAT. Although really should have been a bit more, was quoted at our old labour prices.
Although there was very little electrical works on this one, plus everything basically stopped in the same place.
Floor was a mess underneath so was another £250 on top of above for redoing floor too.

Yes and out of necessity (bloody kitchen fitters was before the flexi probe came out) they keep getting flagged by Kane but keep passing

Wasn't a easy install and definitely a pita to service but their bills are lower and weather compensation has worked well the customer is tec savy so no worries with the app . KopLooks an awkward one, I'll not be fitting any of those

Can’t decide which boiler you like???

Use Main as our budget boiler - cracking for money.Can’t decide which boiler you like???
Vaillant is our go to ‘Premium’ brand. The Worcester one I’d offered them two options Worcester and Vaillant. Worked in my favour for as could run pipes down back.
The Pro is a solid boiler though. Be sad to see it go when it does. Vaillant are just a bit behind with their modulation etc. as new model has been delayed.

Even though I don’t know what I’m doing from one week to the next, it‘s still all similar and mundane. Gas safety checks, occasional boiler fault, and installing some thermostats. Friday was most exciting day when I got to change some wiring going into a programmer, that I think was just being used as a junction box.
