thanks Dick you're most welcome, a quote from a firm i used to work for 20 years ago, " there are plumbers and gas lads in this company, the gas lads give you reasons why they can't do the job, the plumbers just do it, no excuses, they find a way" and its true, we plumbers are to the contruction industry what woodsmen are to nature,  |

I love the soil pipe cutter video!!! Thanks Tom. Great tip Dick and perfect video Tom. Well that tip is going to make a job I've got a much more realistic repair, I've got a section of external bath waste pipe work to replace as the plastic has become porous but access is very difficult because of how it's been bricked in,now doing it from an internal approach will save taking the bricks out and should now only require the surrounding mortar taken out. So gentlemen it's a big thank you from me! |

I didn't think it was going to work for a moment there tom!! I can see it could make things a lot easier on certain jobs in fact I may have just the job for it in the pipeline.
Noticed also that we have the same grips "griplock" made in the USA , simple to use and very strong, I've had mine over 10 years!

I found those grips under a bath, someone must have paneled the bath in and forgot where they'd put them, Finders keepers, losers weepers, Plumbing is sheer Karma, you lose stuff and you find stuff,  |

smiley-confused002asak2 Been racking my brain for more ideas! Rothernbugger charge a fortune for one of these, you prob already know it,if you have a small leak on a pipe(pin holes let say) and you want to do a temp repair or you cant turn mains off,you can cut a piece of hosepipe wrap it around pipe and fit jublie clips around hose pipe tighten up to stop leak.. smiley-sad029 rain |

We've all been there; Dot n Dab, plasterboard partition etc etc........& we want to run a load of pipes- horizontal or vertical, so we fix a 'pipe board', but shit!! There's no studs where we want to fix our board!!
This guy is the Master, Porcupine fixings....14.45 on the following video, in fact watch the whole video - you'll not be disappointed;

Holesaw tips;
This one works for both holesaws & core drills: wrap some PTFE tape round the thread before screwing on your holesaw onto the arbour or core onto the shaft. Makes it ten times easier to remove the bit when you're finished & it doesn't lock-on.
You use your holesaw to cut a hole, but the fucking bit of wood or plastic is jammed in the saw: screw two screws into it & it'll pull right off the arbour drill & you're ready to bore your next hole.
Oh fuck!! I've bored a hole & it's too small!! How the hell am I going to bore a bigger hole, with no wood there for the centre arbour drill into??!! Easy, get a bit of thin ply or MDF, anything - drill the correct size hole in it screw it over your cockup hole & use it as a template.
