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

Cheers.

List 2 cases for 10.00 and mines the second, typical. Turned up in my work gear as well to hopefully move things along
Their rep requested a private meeting with mine to discuss settlement. I said nope.
I've paid for the hearing, there offering less than 50%.

 

[SimonG]

Well it was a win, not the full win but enough to be happy about it. Found in my favour. At one point though I thought I was getting the death penalty, the barrister was a right obstreperous thomas watt.

Can’t say I did, I haven’t done unvented since college, so as a guess the hot water draw off valve?

 

[SimonG]

Just finished this off today

Oh dear, mag filter on cold and useless expansion vessel before nrv and that combi valve will be a pig to change.

Insulation in the van

I’m very surprised the heating filter hasn’t split with 2-3 bar on it

Leaking filter moved so lid can be removed.

As some will know I work in social housing, and the amount of filters that have been boxed in, or fitted inaccessible is a joke.

Getting baked alive waiting for sparkies to turn up

A beast, getting baked beats getting soaked.

It’s hard work taking photos of the poolside

It is at 33 degrees, supposed to be 44 by Saturday. Marrakesh is spot on but the heat is just a bit too much. Ah well, another cold beer and back in the pool

 

[SimonG]

Office for the next three weeks. Looking down over the Tees and upto Bowes Museum.

 

[Dan]

BOOOOM

What you all working on next week lads and ladies?
(Saw a pink lady-plumbers van the other day but was driving so couldn't photograph it damn it!!)

 

[Timmy D]

Nice lead work matey.

You mind if I use it for a blog or two? Will credit you and link to your FB page or Website or whatever?

Old listed building all copper all press. 3 zones, towel rail circuit, hot secondary balanced and cold main. 30 cast iron rads 3 cast baths and an external cast stack to fit. Chased 28mm plus lagging and passovers wasn't much fun, ended up taking out 60kg+ of screed and concrete for it. The job is a beast but it is certainly never a boring day there

 

[Lou]

At least it looks dry when the roof work was done, yesterday it would have been a nightmare

That is a lot of pipes in that old house, do you have to do things a certain way if it is a listed building?

How are you feeling today @SimonG ?
