Do you ever go to a house, more than once, where things just go wrong ... EVERY TIME YOU GO THERE!!!???

It's like I'm cursed every time I work in this flat!

First time I went I somehow ended up with a nice straight towel rail, stood back and one of the brackets was literally way out - no idea how that happened either as I used a laser level :/

Today I went to run cold mains from behind the w/m, chase it into concrete floor across the kitchen, under the cabinet and through the wall under the bath to connect the bath/basin/toilet.

Did my chase. Was please. Flooring guy says: can you just go a little bit further as it will just hit the plinth where you are. Sure I say!

When I chiselled the extra bit with my sds I hit the hidden 15mm gas pipe :/ aaarrrggghhhh

It was nicely fitted right next to water pipes too! Nightmare! A I managed to get done was chase the pipe and cement over it and fix the gas pipe..

FFS!

Hi Jay,

Do you wear gloves when you work?

Just did a comparison of my fingers and nails to the fingers and nails in the pic.

Mine don't look at all similar!!!

Edit: Mine look more like the damaged copper pipe!!!!

lol I do sometimes.. depends what I'm doing I guess. When I started out I used to wear gloves for everything haha no I hardly wear them at all. Always forget to grab some. The ones I have now have seen better days
