There's no such thing as bad weather. Only bad clothing. Manchester proverb. Getting the right clothing is essential for outdoor work. I'm still available for various jobs in the rain. Roof work, gutters and repairs. Painting has to now wait for the spring as the lovely Manchester weather is a little too unpredictable.

Sometimes, when plumbing, it's best to go in the back way. Installing a new electric shower this week. The brass fittings on the existing pipe would not fit the push fit entry point on the new shower. Rather than destroy the lovely tile work, I cut a section of wall out on the landing behind. Once the plumbing was done, the section could be refit and patched up. Finished plaster work to follow. See if you can tell where it was done.

I've tackled all manner of flatpacks from Kallax to circuit trainers. I always have a little chuckle to myself when I open and MADE flatpack and find it's anything but. If you've done the same and need some help get in touch.
