I was out this morning at the crack of nine o clock, took off a 6foot long rad, replaced it with a 600 x 1200 type 22, then went home about 11.30, the rest of the day was spent costing for other work, smiley-computer005puter

Easy day - removed and refitted two rads for the painter to paper behind.
Afternoon job was to remove a built in washing machine in advance of the service engineer coming tomorrow - for some reason the engineer will not dismantle the other units to get the machine out for repair!
Customer will be pissed off tomorrow cause it the drum bearing and spider and that's beyond economical repair under those policy's but that's my thoughts let him tell them the good news.

we had a washing machine drum repair done, between you and me it was fucked before we took the policy out, they phoned me, wanna buy a washing machine policy,I said," the washers over 5 years old" he said " don't matter if its working" so i asked how much, he said " a fiver a month," ok cool what if it breaks down tomorrow, i asked, " you can only claim after 20 days, " fine i'll have it" and 21 days later they put a new drum in. then 3 months later the motor went and they fixed that too, I can't for shame cancel the policy, all in all they've done over £300 worth of work, |

A Nurse once told me that plumbers and Nurses have a lot in common. We both unblock things and clean up shit (not everyone is able to do this). A big difference in wages though, although it's not a job I would ever want to do!! |

Today's play I mean work, has been repairing/replacing carpark flood lights etc.
Other than the strong winds it was a good day to be outside.
Some people are just so lucky - washing machine owner has just been on the phone re-instal which is on hold as insurance company want to give her a new machine as the original is beyond economical repair, she will advise tomorrow when new machine will be delivered.
new machine comes with 24 months warranty. 6XqEngr88r5GlWolCJDi

1st fixing today, high level working off of a podium because the site agent (who is still a cock) won't let us use steps, but his boys can use steps. Attachment Deleted This made me chuckle though, the temporary wash basin in the site toilets Never seen that done before LOL |

I love my job most days, New Build house sites are great compared to 30 years ago.
A lot of the Site Agents have a laff with you, one gave me some dog biscuits for our new pup the other day!!
Others are complete twats, but luckily they are few & far between.
The money is shyte, but the job is OK.
Today for example; commissioned 2 boiler in Dunfermline, had a nice cup of coffee from a wee Bakery there.
Then on a job in St Andrews for another 4 boilers. Then home & another stress free day under my belt.
Sometimes you can get a free rummage around in a yummy mummy's knicker drawer, which is nice.....!!!!

No mate, still taking the van in, about an hours drive in and out back and forth to the digs, the company pays for the parking & the congestion charge. |

Last time down there we were in a rented house £600 plus a week for the gaffa - 4bed but the 4th bedroom wasn't suitable for sleeping in. Plenty work it's just a fucked up place. One of the trips down a local lad organised after hours fiddle work for us on two pub to house conversions,that was a real bonus cash in the hand,everyone done well on it - certainly the place to make plenty loot if you've got the accommodation sorted. |
