What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Went to replace a shower cartridge today and guy just mentioned the down stairs rads were cool and the upstairs hot .
Looked in cylinder cupboard and sees a open vented Y plan. with a 20 odd year old gruni.
I told guy its probably the pump , I went downstairs a while after and sees a Ariston system boiler with a pressure gauge saying1.5 bar . Me thinks something's amiss here.

She is almost there Kop, waiting on the new dashboard and gauges to turn up and the canopy guys to come and fit the new canopy, they are doing it because it`s never had a front canopy so need to fit the turnbuttons as well which I didn`t fancy doing tbh then once the galley and carpets are done that`s it for this year then need to refill the bank account before a paint job on the outside next summer.

Do you work from a MEWP?

Yes. There is no other way in my opinion. I have in the past worked off more dangerous things but those days are gone.

I have had two boats...whats the second best memory of owning a boat...when you buy it
the best memory is when you sell it....I cannot agree more..but at least they are cheaper
than your wife's horses...never owned any but know a few who have..bad news

Previous owner decorated that cistern lid. It's my toilet. I just put the cat on it which my mum gave me as I thought if it's going to look ridiculous may as well finish the job.

It's the original cast iron bath and the gap was mighty tight. Only going half height.

Normally do that, same with the shower area.

How do you secure the bath once tiled?

 

[SimonG]

How do you secure the bath once tiled?

I tile down to within one tile/cut tile. Batten, fit bath as normal then fit last row down to bath.

Just helps minimise potential of damage to bath or shower tray.
