Only things I won't do are things I'm not sure about or too inexperienced with. Disgusting or tough doesn't bother too much. But as said I will draw the line at saniflo. I also won't go to blocked toilets. I tell them mop trick over the phone. Usually never hear back.

the string mops a gem used it many times cheap in wilkos
 
Cheapo mop head on a bit of 22 hep pipe. Bread and butter! Unless you get unlucky and find half a broken pint glass and a roll of parcel tape blocking the soil pipe under 8ft of poo and paper.

What's the mop trick?
 
Mops are excellent for plunging and unblocking toilets, depending on the blockage. I like mine on a bit of 22 plastic so it flexes nicely when you ram it.

You get some quality jobs Martin :smile:
 
Failing to unblock a toilet that involves getting sh/t on your bare hands on a Monday morning when you're hungover and then having to carry the blocked pan down the stairs in a bin liner and blast it out with a hose into the drain and then blocking up the drain with toilet paper.
 
If you're doing drains it is the one time smoking comes in handy. Keep a *** burning in your mouth (fk the anti smoking brigade) while you do it and it keeps the smell from killing you :smile:
 
I've decided I'm not doing any "5 minute" jobs any more after yesterdays one ended up 3 hours! Simple overflowing cistern, went to it, found old flush valve seal perished, cant get replacement, decided to fit a new one.
Went to undo the bolts on the close coupled toilet, rusted solid, had to get a new cistern as no-one had just the bolts. Spent half an hour hacksawing through the bolts, got the new cistern on, filling valve on the other side, quick repipe - tested, bloody new doughnut leaking!!. Went out into the van had a wee Hulk rage in the back, went back in and fitted another doughnut. - Jobs a good 'un. Between carrying out the job and running around looking for bits I wasted most of the afternoon.
Called Landlord to let them know and the bast'ard has went on holiday for a couple of weeks...
yeah I love my job....
 
I was with my dad when he opened one up years ago, after that I changed my title to heating engineer.

I when't to one a few years ago there was no power isolation on it, the custad could not understand why i refused to work on it lol:6:

i love having a wee hulk rage!
 
I had a wee hulk rage this evening when the power to the village tripped out for the 5th time this evening. Wasn't a happy bunny!
 
I expect the leccy was cut off because the pub hasn't paid their bill. Apparently they can't afford to because of the size of Croppies bar tab.
