whatever the opinions are of the picture posters work its not very nice posting it where everyone can see it,what if said poster joins the arms?
 
Oh come on. Let's say it was your house and you came home to find that? If he's not told its rough the next one will be the same.

Never said I was perfect but I know rough when I see it.

you could have pm,ed the poster and said something like,look mate the bog in your picture is out of plumb and the plumbing looks odd,next time why not try doing it like this,and using shims to get it plumb
 
So you two have never made a negative comment about anyone's work or comments on here? Do me a favour!
 
Yes. Many times. But I would happily post it on the thread where they can see it or send it to them

This is just what a coward does. Talk and take the mick where he can't see

Child!
 
You sure you didn't put those pics up under another name Simon? Bit defensive ain't ya?

In defensive because I was there one. I was terrible at plumbing and my soldering was poop
But I like to think that from all the mistakes I've made out there I've learnt alot. I went back to a job I did 3 years ago, which was one of my first. And I couldn't believe my wiring on the controller. I spent 2 hours rewiring out of pride and experience from where I had come

So yes I am very defensive of him. And I if I lived local to him. I would offer the chance of a job. Just because he's trying harder than the rest. He's def not asking for a placement
 
No, he's not asking for a placement he's out there charging people for work like this. And you think that's fine? Because its not gas it's not important to do a neat and tidy job?
 
Come on guys this boy says he has been doing stuff for 4 years
Even if it was a first job it looks crap and anyone can see it looks crap it looked better before he changed it
And as said he is charging people to do that
Simon I have a lot of respect for you and I know you would not leave a job like that!!
 
Hmmmm, yes on reflection you are right. He shouldn't be charging people for that work.

He's genuinely trying to do a good job, that's what's frustrating. There are loads of people out there with better skills than him who just don't give a **** and will lash it in better than that.
 
I would never leave a Job like that and I thank those for believing in my level of quality

I don't think this chap has been doing it for 4 years. I think he may be a dabbling in this and don't think this is a vocation of his.

I do agree that he should not be charging for this and that if he is, it should be at a heavily reduced rate.

I don't like this mocking of his work without making him aware of it. Perhaps a kick in the jewels like this may make him see his errors. But I do have to applaud him for his efforts. It is functional !
 
Ste b's thread on indirect systems
 
just finished watching a documentary about abortions and umbilical cords!.

apparently, trainee midwives tape up the nipples to prevent leaks?.:crazy:
 
It does look a mess but rather than just ripping into the bloke I tried to give a bit of constructive criticism. Definitely looks more DIY than pro though and if an apprentice of mine did that they'd be ripping it out and starting again.
 
But he's not an apprentice. He's a qualified plumber on paper. He's asked questions on gas work and on boiler breakdowns which fills me with dread. Look, it's not a personal dig at him as a person. I'm sure if we went for a pint he'd be a hoot. BUT if he's passing work like this off as acceptable then as far as I'm concerned he's giving the plumber a bad name. End off. Rant over.
 
The problem is if you go at people too hard they will disappear and continue carp work. If someone did work like that in my house I'd refuse to pay but there's a lot of custards that don't know any better unfortunately.

I regularly have to restrain myself when I see some of the questions that "trained plumbers" ask. I do wonder if they should be let loose on the general public with such an appaling lack of knowledge of basic plumbing systems.
 
@APP Plumbing............. I agree with your every word!

It is an absolute disaster,

Sorry but that is not acceptable!
 
lets face it lads, its no longer difficult or has it ever been to become a qualified plumber or gas engineer for that matter. But just like with any job your always going to get the good and the bad. I respect him for posting those pictures, i was there once maybe not as bad but i was there, and the only way you will improve is by looking at other good jobs others have carried out or by learning and being shown the better way by a seasoned pro :) his only direction by the looks of it is from you guys who can either tear him to pieces or like a lot have just nudge him in the right direction.
 
thou shall not smack a child brigade!.

i was brought up the other way, got ripped to shred's and even had work thrown at me at 16 (had a few spanners at the back of the head too) cause it was krap, but i then knew it was not good enough and dare not to do the same again!.
