Jobs You Won't Do Or You're Considering Not Doing Anymore

Leaking pan connector on existing installed toilet.

Did one today. It's the most perfect combination of fiddly, frustrating and filthy.

I made good money from it. But I feel like I need ten showers and some therapy.

i dont do sani flows ive got a hundred percent record of getting the lid of and not being able to get it back on so dont bother now

 

[WaterTight]

If I could lay my hands on the guys who installed this then I'd get plenty of work just following him around and rectifying!

Sounds painful.

i have no problem changing pan connectors (thick bleach down first )

DO NOT DO - unblocking toilets or anything to do with blocked 4" pipework

hate lofts and rockwall -hate it

hate staying home and having no work

Great tip here! Normally get all hands on dirty dirty haha

Ha Luxury....I once changed a bathroom suite where the old fella had died in the bath a laid there undiscovered a fortnight.

I'm quite happy getting my hands filthy but would like to know:

a) Why do I have an itchy nose/mouth/face as soon as I start?
b) Why do I have a hunger attack before I can wash?

BUT

I won't touch saniflos or drains (from wc's) anymore. It's the smell. Even someone doing a no.2 makes me wretch. I'd be pathetic as a night nurse in a hospital ward.

How can you be a plumber and not do poo?

Im not a plumber I'm a heating engineer! :greedy:

Thats what I keep saying, I dont go anywhere near poo leave that to the people who dont mind it.

I know what you mean, but what if you go to an old loo, rusty screws to floor, tiled around base, & perhaps even the soil pipe angle wrong - so a bit of a botch. Maybe also customer has little money & you have little time. Quick remedy just to use sealant.

yeah but as a last resort

rice and veg decompose with attitude makes a blockage fun if you get it on your clothes

Anything to do with bloody Gledhill.

3 times now I've gone out to 3 separate calls over the last five years, all PCB failures. Ordered new PCB's, fitted them and they've gone straight away. One turned out to be a spiked pump, the other a spiked 3 port and the final one was a problem with a dry pocket sensor. Terrible things if you ask me. Also, seen 2 go up in flames following on from overheated relays. Terrible things.
