HA bathrooms,

rolling around in a pss stained floor in a 7 foot x 5 foot bathroom putting in a 'p' shaped bath.
the basin had to go so the bath would fit!.

i have has 2 showers, washed my clothes and managed to eat my dinner. proberbly due to charging 30% above the odds for doing the job. now they want me to do the damn kitchen sink ffs!!!!!

What's the mop trick?

Use it as a plunger for a pan

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 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.
