Discuss does anyone still use copper in a 1st fix downstairs gorund floor in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Don't think it is mate as most other trades I work with only get to see second fix which in my case is copper. All the diy shows on TV such as diy SOS etc all use copper and there are plenty of other trades there to see it.So how come, as referred to in the original post, other trades are amazed at seeing copper being used and yet nearly everyone so far in this thread uses copper. Is this forum just an unrepresentative sample of the trade?
Those who occupy the vast middle ground of just doing it for a job without caring much about the rights and wrongs probably wouldn't dream of spending their evenings talking about work online.
Plumbing is mainly a solitary occupation and it's good to come on here and share experiences with others.Yeah I thought about that too. By definition the average plumber won't come on this forum. There wouldn't be enough room! So you get a mix of learners and those who live and breathe it. Those who occupy the vast middle ground of just doing it for a job without caring much about the rights and wrongs probably wouldn't dream of spending their evenings talking about work online.
Maybe it was just a regional thing then. My only personal experience is working on installs for a year with a guy who always did first fix in plastic. But that's a not very informative sample size of 1.
Sacked for being an ignorant little ersehole. I'm a bloody nightmare to work for anyway as I have to always have things done my way. Wife learned that the hard way.Do you not have a love slave? As I believe the PC term has it.
