What have you done today? | | PlumbersForums.net (2024)

I finished a 2 day install off this morning. Only had rad valves left. Was in the van and on my way home by 10. I picked up a bag of 3 doughnuts for the journey!
Then I went for a haircut and laid on the sofa watching Peepshow on catch up.

Textbook day.

I've been watching peep show as well this afternoon. I never get bored of them.

I've just got Amazon prime video and have endless films and Tv series and I watch peep show on youtube.

Continued on with a wetroom. Porcelain tiles. Looking good, but slow going.

Using my firestick to catch up on the tv. Watched the new ghostbusters and star trek. Also watched containment, fear the walking dead and just started man in the high castle.

Fitted new locks to bedroom doors, cored a hole and installed extractor fan in the bathroom, wired up new 2-way switching for hallway lights, installed new ceiling lights throughout. All at my sister's house whilst everyone is running around like headless chickens getting ready for nephew's wedding.

Now for 3 days of endless food and merriment!

Went to Andover and did a landlords and boiler service

Then back to my parents house to continue 'the project' whole house refurb including the double garage, whilst parents are still living there.

'moved the drinks cabinet 6 inches closer to berlin' as blackadder would say

There's 2 series I think.

Went to a quote yesterday, knocked on front door waited ages so went round back (terrace house), knocked on back door while she went to front. I wasn't there, I was round the back knocking, she heard and went to answer but I went round the front thinking there's no one in. I rang her up and said I don't think there's anyone in. She said "stay put I'm coming out!".

She called me just as I was dissapearing back round the back!

Jobbing as always. Fixed leak under a sink, changed a kitchen sink and then did a job which involved running new pipework around the houses to a new area which I did all in copper, soldered and bent. Then customer saw it and actually looked disappointed and said she'd presumed I'd have done it in plastic. "I suppose I can paint it, right?" She said.

any freebies ?

Flooded a kitchen

Couldn't completely empty an old fibreglass cwsc (about 3/4 gals left) on a system/unvented install, so took a ceiling board down in new extension, dragged tank across old rafters into new and fitted a hose to the cold feed outlet and let it drain

On to new kitchen floor as the bricky tripped over the hose and dragged it back inside without thinking to tell me
3/4 gals of brown water running over a newly laid floor (only concrete thankfully) whilst I blissfully held the tank at an angle so every last drop came out

Also put a new pattern on the hallway carpet after my tissue plugs in the primary tappings came out whilst carrying cyl out, Mr muscle sorted that though

Glad the custards have f*cked of for a week, :cowboy:
