I don't know if it was the window fitter, the bloke who cut the sink into the worktop, or the fella who drilled the tap hole, BUT someone needs a ruddy good rollicking!!! ...And a level, a tape measure, or just one eye that works !!! FFS !!! 😤😠😡🤬🤦♂️ . #whenyouseeit #myocdisinoverdrive #nofucksgiven #notmyjob #notmyjobmate #cowboys #yeehaw

Why can't someone just invent an oil boiler that isn't reaaaally friggin fiddly to pipe up 🤷 ?!?! This did my head in today.

Day 2 done and dusted.... 200m² of 16mm MLC pipe in and tested, ready for the screeders to crack on. . Kinda proud of how sexy the staggered manifolds looks 😁😘 .

Day 1 done.... . 16mm MLC pipe stapled directly to the floor insulation @ 150mm centres to correctly compliment the system design parameters of a low-temperature heat source, which in this case will be a @mygrantuk 17kw ASHP system. . Watch this space for updates on the plant room and 2nd fix as it proceeds. .

Poppa's got a brand-new bag 🎶. . After several unsuccessful attempts at finding a VetoPro that did the job, I've decided to stick with the ol' faithful @c.k_tools Magma Pro Technicians Tool Case. . My previous one has lasted well over 3 years of daily abuse, carrying a HUGE amount of hand tools, and has never let me down... I just fancied a shiny new one 😉 . Unbelievable how many tools I/we need to carry... I've tried taking a few tools out in the past and always ended up needed them the very next day, so this is the bare minimum carry. . #tooledup #showusyertools #tools #newtools #newtoolsaturday #ilovenewstuff #toolsofthetrade #getyertoolsout #allthegearandnoidea #cktools #weratools #weratoolrebels #bahco #bahcotools #knipex #knipextools #bosch #boschtools #stabila #stabilalevels #stanleytools #rothenberger #rothenbergertools #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow #ionlycarrytechnicalshit . @c.k_tools @weratoolsuk @weratoolrebels @bahco_offical @knipex_uk @boschtoolsna @stabila_official @stabila_uk @stanleytoolsuk @rothenberger_official

Lining up for next week's busy shizzle. . I genuinely considered adding another loop onto the top manifold, just so it would match the bottom 🤦♂️😂 .

Soooo...this seems to be more of a common phenomenon nowadays... I've had a recent spate of waste and overflow fittings that have deteriorated, become brittle or broken down at the solvent weld joint. . The one in the pic is a 32mm OSMA/Wavin solvent waste fitting that looks to have gone brittle and split at, or close to, the point where the socket meets the fitting body (which is likely to the the thinnest part of the fitting). . At the moment I've only had it on condensate pipes, all of which I fitted myself within the last couple of years, and as much of a pain in the arse this is, I am genuinely hoping this is in some way directly linked to the condensate only, and not something that we all need to be seriously wary of for any and all waste runs going forward !! I dread to think of the potential damage such a thing could cause on a concealed waste pipe 😲 I've never had this happen before, and It wouldn't surprise me if this is a consequence of poor quality control or (more likely) manufacturer cost saving... . Anyone else noticed this more recently ??? . #plumbingdisaster #condensate #wastepipe #leak #wavin #osma @wavingroup

This little bugger caused some big problems (not really that big, but made for a good title!)... . Boiler serviced Wednesday, customer calls Thursday to say heating not working due to lack of pressure, same again this morning...(that's a pretty big clue)... Any guesses for a bit of Friday fun ??? . #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #boilerservicing #shouldhavelistenedtomyownadvice #karma #plumbkernow
