Isn't that pretty much what the OP is saying?

Possibly. But it reads to me as though he is trying to 'bleed' the whole upstairs which would take forever

Keep some Vicks vapour rub in van. When your in a nice fragrant dwelling a small amount of Vicks under you nose will help u feel less dirty.

also would be handy when you have a "nice" blocked toilet or drains

When fitting push fit to chrome, i literally do one rotation of an old, blunt pipeslice around the end of the pipe about 10mm in. The grab ring will sit in this score and the push fit fitting will never come off !

Never trust that the apprentice has turned draincock off on a rad before filling system, check to make sure they haven't turned it fully on!

 

[oily face]

when our pipe slices get less effective at cutting copper put some flux over night it stiffens them up and they will work better

 

[Gas]

Physics doesn't even correlate to that making sense oily face, heat activated flux, acid based?

Explain if you would, thanks

When my pipe slice gets less effective I put a new wheel in it!!

or just book a new one out to the next job, and give the crap ones to the apprenticce !!

As cold weather is here never leave any batteries in your van or the cold wont do them any good...even things like digital thermometer...inspection cameras..AA's etc. Also things like silicone in the really freezing nights should be brought it.

when working in a cramped space and you can't find that screwdriver/spanner/tape you were just using, your usually sitting on it.

If you've had a curry the night before and are carrying excess wind, take your hoover into work and boff into that. Dilutes the exhaust a treat.

Amen to that!

When crawling around underfloors use a little trolley to slide around makes life a lot quicker and easier

 

[Ermintrude]

What on the soil ? Or are the houses really posh? I would say empty all your pockets and get a bucket cut down to move tools around?

 

[Best]

A good way to crawl below floorboards is get some good thick cardboard - like what comes with shower doors & boilers. Lay it down on the subfloors (which tend to be covered in rubble often) & you can just slide yourself on it very easily & it can be very comfortable & warm also.
Don't let a blow lamp near it though!

Please make a video mate, this is either breakthrough sort of thinking or you are ****ed and robbed a trolly from the supermarket. :hand:

 

[Dannypipe]

I use transcendental meditation and just hover around. Much kinder on the knees.

 

[Gas]

I use the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but i suppose that is what i am all about.

No on the oversite

 

[Ermintrude]

No on the oversite

U must strike it lucky. Normally old houses with decent voids have no over site or loads of rubbish under there or new ones har a 200mm void. No trolley will help me in an 200mm void as my middle engine is a little bigger than that!

 

[Destroyer2813]

Its a new extension on a old property but floors are down so lots of crawling for me

 

[Bunker]

Keep an old cast wheel head from a gate valve (not the pressed tin ones) in the toolbox. They fit most lock shields aswell as gate valves. Makes rad-work easy

 

[Killy Bing]

Old radiator brackets can be used to strengthen boxing or cupboards if you've pulled them apart, ugly but effective. Also they can be used to support floorboards of you've cut them a touch too short

Ha I knew sum1 would comment

 

[Jonwells]

If you don't know what your doing leave it alone, or if the urge is too strong, at least talk to somebody who does 1st.

 

[Jonwells]

With that much inhibitor, how did the rad corrode so bad in the 1st place. Ha ha.
