I never used to bother too much until i got pulled up on it years ago and had to change the pipe. Not a big deal for 4ft of pipe and a couple of fittings but it made me aware of it ever since and now it does my nut in too :smile:

What was the problem ?

When fitting solvent or push fit pipes make sure any lettering is faced away from the eye

Her knickers were biting into her fanny and she just liked to complain. She probably painted it anyway so it made no difference.

It looks unsightly.

Invest in a cheap engraver, for when some little........idiot walks off with your tools and claims its theirs!

As well as engraving stuff, daub your name across it in paint. Makes power tools much less desirable.

Always wash your hands after cleaning your flux brush, and before going for a wee.

Write all over your power tool batterys or wrap them in insulation tape. Stops others on the site swapping their deads with your lovely working ones!

Feins and other multi tools (i have a milwaukee) can save you the headaches of cutting joists with no access or copper that you cant even get a junior hacksaw too!!

invest in a decent multimeter and learn how to use it, its a great help and could potentially save your life!

Out of flux and chilli's...id go with chilli's!
Past experience!
