  • Safe to say it's been a pretty testing couple of weeks since having to get back to work, following 4 weeks off (not earning any money) 🤦‍♂️. Pretty much everything I have touched has gone t*ts-up... starting with a shower screen exploding in my hands, through to leaking bypass valves, wonky tiles (standard nowadays), out of square buildings, ASHP breakdowns, missing materials, having to modify expensive sanitaryware so it actually fits together, etc, etc, and culminating in me destroying my bicep whilst attempting to lift a mega-heavy bath one handed 🙄 which it is likely that I'll need surgery on to reattach my bicep, and I'm probably gonna be out of work for a while 🤦‍♂️ Once upon a time where I would have allowed my stress-levels to go through the roof, and I would be struggling to cope right now. However, there are so many things i have in my life that I am grateful for, and I know how lucky I am that my family and friends are all safe and well. Sure, the next few weeks/months are going to tricky, but we should all conscious of the fact that there are people who are far worse off out there, and their struggle is very, very real. And the fact that today is the 75th anniversary of VE allows a little more perspective on that I reckon. . Stay safe you beauts. 😘 . #shithappens #plumbingisatwat #staystrong #staythefuckhome #veday75 #veday #forevergrateful #itsallgood #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow

  • First (and hopefully, last) emergency call out since the lockdown.... This was a couple in their 70s, one recovering from cancer surgery, the other on a permanent oxygen supply ! They had called out Transco yesterday (Sunday) as their CO alarm was 'beeping'. The fella from Transco decided he was just gonna cap the gas supply at the meter and clear off, leaving them with no heating or hot water !! I appreciate that these are unusual times but not sure if it was the best option, especially as it turns out the CO alarm was in the living room (nowhere near the boiler) and was only beeping intermittently, so as to suggest the batteries needed replacing, rather than an actual alarm due to the presence of CO !! 🤦‍♂️ . Obviously went full mask, gloves, goggles, and antibac'd every surface in sight, on the way in, during the work, and again on the way out. Got to say it was mega-stressful having to do all that, and then the old fella just didn't seem to grasp the concept of keeping his distance from me !! 😟 . Hats off to all you lot out there that are keeping on with breakdowns at the moment....I couldn't handle the stress !! . Anyway...I went belt and braces...full check over on the boiler. New burner gasket and electrode kit. Recharged the vessel. Check and altered combustion ratios. New CO alarm (relocated to much more sensible place), and we're back up and running 👌 . Soooo glad I'm out of there 😷 .
