Had a lot on my mind over the weekend, Mum was critical on Saturday night in hospital so I slept there then back yesterday all day, picked up today . I went to fix a toilet that I was waiting for a part for, ideal standard conceala fill valve, went onto a push fit. So take it apart, & put new one in, won’t shut off, try again, nothing, then I realise when I turn the flexi on I’ve not connected it & it’s filling the cistern!!! Anyway all fixed Tired!!!   |

Sorry to hear about your Mum Rocky, tough times mate. Regardless, hold onto the good memories & fun times.
I was advised that when my Mum was ill a few years ago & it does help, we shouldn’t think of their illness & pain, but what they gave us & how fortunate we are that they gave birth to us.
Six years since I lost her & boy she could be hard work, but she raised me, my brothers & sisters to be strong, practical, hard working people. That’s why every day I know I was blessed she was my Mum👍👍👍

Sometimes when personal life becomes a bit tough it can be a bit of welcome relief from it to do a bit of plumbing.
Looks quite a contraption that fill valve rocky, another one of your specialist awkward jobs?

Looks quite a contraption that fill valve rocky, another one of your specialist awkward jobs? It was ok really, it’s a flexi from main then the push fit goes up through the cistern, it goes along to fill valve then just pushes on. It should’ve been a 2 min job yesterday but cost la vie! It’s done now. At least the toilet was nice, it’s in an office block, I now know how to remove the panels. Try to lift up usually. Any tips on how to get the up? I use a flathead screwdriver to pry them up but it left a mark! I couldn’t lift it by just pushing it. |

Good idea that. You can then lift the up. They’re not always heavy but it’s awkward to get any purchase to lift them up |

That’s cheap too. I’ll buy a couple & test them out. Cheers |
