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

Put them there just in case. But to be fair they came straight out. Surprised it had not dropped.

Nice work chaps looking good, i've got 3 more to do and then I'm thinking of not doing anymore, they just take to long to complete and are working out quite expensive as a consequence, I'm falling behind on boiler and heating work which is better paid and quicker to turn over I think I'll take a step back from bathrooms for a while . Cheers kop

 

[SimonG]

Looking at 3 on Sunday afternoon. But agree they seem to be taking longer to do.

It’s when everything is hidden away it all takes longer, used to just cut two notches in bath panel and run pipes to basin- can’t imagine doing that now!
Also wall hung toilet - frame, boxing, hardibacker, tiles, often built in shelving etc - 3 days or more. Just whack in a close coupled an hour or so.

I’ve got this atm they don’t like the mcalpine trap on the bath and the legs that came with the bath they supplied (old style plastic cast iron roll)

Tiling this week and next, floors for a change. 13 sqm of 600 x 600 porcelain to start, then onto a 3 part Victorian look alike through the rest of the kitchen and up the hallway.
Day off it tomorrow to fit an oil combi.

Roll on 10th September, week away to Marton Mere in Blackpool with wife and granddaughter.
Ready for some down time.

Mind your knees

Knee pads and an old couch cushion make it bearable

Also first fix an toilet and basin

To quote most people I deal with “can’t you just fit non return valves?”

Worcester 4000 combi in today, with vertical flue. Baxi DuoTec out that had a leaking HEX internally.

 

[Harvest Fields]

I’m currently around this area. Lots of castles and History if that’s your thing.
