Pullstart 62,792 #926 Posted October 30, 2020 Spent a bunch more money on the bathroom job today than I quoted but they insisted on marble tile in the shower... ..then got some more plumber’s crack on tonight. I’m waiting for a brass nipple to arrive for the auto fill / back flow preventer, then we can likely pressure check for leaks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #927 Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Spent yesterday at my mate Dunc's, laying the workshop mezzanine floor. By 'eck! Those 8 x 2 floor boards are heavy. Or is it me getting old? Came home absolutely knackered. Edited October 30, 2020 by Stormin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,590 #928 Posted October 30, 2020 Norm its a combination, they are bloody heavy but we are not kids anymore lol. Did some work on the community project aided by a 22 year old volunteer. He was as soft as chocolate bless him, never lifted or shifted anything heavy in his life. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
