[king of pipes]

3 vertical rads fitted , I got them online from the radiator outlet at a reasonable price matching trvs and lockshields struggled to find anything local these seem to be good if you need rads fast worth a look . Kop

Why do you have a leak from your cable?

Funny bud emptied out the wet vac bit of over spill , have a restful weekend.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Combi swap the end of last week and started a bathroom that the tiles were stuck on with silicone and the wall was soaking

 

[Scott_D]

Less questions now for the resits, still questions on shared ducts.
You have to sign to say you are or will be trained on safe isolation.
Had some meter fitters doing the core and they were really struggling

Been on wood butchery duties this week framing out this new shower in the ensuite, carrying on in this property from last week getting the low level tray fitted was a challenge had to cut out more than I liked but it's coming on now . Kop

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

I wouldn't worry about it, sometimes it has to be done I've seen much worse in the building trade than notched joists - found a floating cavity wall once

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Anyone’s arse start twitching when you have to cut holes in this stuff can never double check too much

Yes. It's also annoying now, none of our suppliers store them right so they're all bowed to f*** Have a right nightmare fitting them sometimes. I'll also refuse to fit the MDF ones, but now multipanel have started using MDF. Managed to get a different brand at our local builders merchants.

Expensive if you get it wrong now

Yep these ones were the “new” mdf ones which came with smiles luckily the mp addy is good and strong using 3 tubes per full board

 

[SimonG]

I won't use mdf, local merchants uses Perform Panels which are still ply.

Need to get the current wetroom finished. Then a four day new bath, basin and a bit of tiling to round off another busy year.

Been slowed down as Mother in Law passed on Friday, not unexpected at 95 but still heartbreaking for the wife and kids. Last couple of days were rough as she'd had no fluids for 10 days and heavily sedated.

 

[Ben-gee]

EvilDrPorkChop, nice one.
Can you tell me where that basin/wc unit is from and how wide it is, cheers.

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

It’s Tavistock and it was 1000mm wide (I’m pretty sure)

We got it from James Hargreaves, so I’m not sure if they badge it up as one of their own. It was really good quality though have been impressed with the Tavistock furniture of recent.

Fitted this whole house water filter today, supplied by customer. Wondering if it’s worth having one at home

What's the flow rate through it?

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

What's the flow rate through it?

16lpm.

 

[Scott_D]

Just waiting on a fused spur and a tundish for the PRV

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Finished this one off handed over to the painter and sparky now

Wish the sink silicone came out better but had to hide a few holes from the old inset sink etc

Is this filtering mains water?

 

[Scott_D]

Boiler and cylinder in progress.
The boiler is in the corner

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Press elbow on d2 ?

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Is this filtering mains water?

Yeah.

 

[Scott_D]

Press elbow on d2 ?

Yeah I didn’t have enough room to pull a bend and didn’t want the restriction of an endfeed

 

[SimonG]

Will it ever end

Couldn't get the mosaics so thought it would be a good idea to cut them down. Need the extra grout lines for grip.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

And another one done replaced a 30kw bg 330 and installed a 19kw baxi and the frozen condys are starting

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Had 3 frozen ones so far, annoying thing is two of them weren't ones we've fitted!

One that was ours was about 15 year old and before the time you knew they all froze up. Overflow going into 3" cast stack - will have to do something with it come new boiler time.

 

[SimonG]

Getting frozen oil lines. Nothing a few kettles of water won't fix.
