A lot of people have most likely have said this but the amount of effort you put in to your work is outstanding pal. You need to get good old Todd glister on one of your podcasts, that’s if you both can keep off your phone’s long enough!!!
Good for you Pete, you won't miss the letting agents and the crappy tenants. I ditched them 12 months ago after working with them for 15 years, it will feel like a big jump but you won't regret it. Better customers, better quality of work and get paid straight away rather than having to wait weeks or sometimes months. Here's to the new you 👍
I would love to see Rodger Bisbey and Plumber Parts on the podcast.
hmmmmmm
Don't forget old Allen Hart
Oh FFS!! What a pair of Tozzers!! Just imagine it;; “Hang tight, Hand tight”!!.........”Hi I’m Roger Bisby, the greatest Plumber in the world”!!...........Thanks but no thanks!
I’m 52 now and am looking for a new challenge for the next/last 15 years of my career. My existing job doesn’t test me anymore, I still love fixing things, being office based doesn’t appeal to me ( my current mechanical superior has just quit and I know no one is interested/capable of stepping into his shoes ). I’m the type of engineer who wants to solve the jobs others have been to and failed, that drives me. Every job I go to I normally know what the problem and fix is before I get there.
Love the video best so far. Keep it up your definitely an ambassador to the trade. 👍🏻
Haven’t finished the video but the toilet looks like a venting issue if not a blockage. Durgo stuck shut maybe!
Good for you PB. Best move you can make I reckon, you always sound way more upbeat on the bigger jobs. I jacked in the shite housing association work that was grinding me down recently and moved onto the risk assessment/compliance side of things, best thing I've done.
I was not a plumber and only occasionally worked on toilets but I used to put PTFE around the plastic fitting coming thought the base of the cystern as I found the water could leak down through the plastic fixing nut threads not too much though or you risk crossing the threads .like wise fixing Essex bosses to cylinders.
Good for you PB, i'm reviewing what i'm doing with my career too. All the best to you
Nothing better to finish off the week:
Watching a PB video after a deadlifting session!
Good for you mate, it takes a special person to do the rental work, I did it for a few years about 10years ago and hated it. Much prefer just doing my own work👍🏼👍🏼
And MASSIVE well done on the channel sponsors 👍🏼 People don’t realise just how long it takes us to edit up videos up etc so that just makes it worth while👍🏼👍🏼
Also, I struggle to keep my 6pack aswell mate…. 🤣🤣
I'm just in the process of sorting out a w.c cistern that will not seat properly. Normally I'd be getting stressed but knowing it's not just me makes me feel a little bit calmer 😂 👍
Hi Pete, don't do many comments on YT, but I wanted to say I enjoy watching your videos, you're a great tradesman, and a great inspiration to your trade. I know you were thinking of bailing a while back, but it's good to see you've continued.
Great content, and varied.
And congratulations on the Ambassador role, definitely deserved
Best of luck pal
Jed 👍
Go for it Pete. After just over 50 years in the plumbing/heating game I’m now retired, miss the people I worked with and alongside other trades, but not the present generation of customers. They all want something for nothing, someone I was working with on a job once asked me would I stop working if I won the lottery to which I replied probably not but I’d try and find something where I wasn’t in direct contact with the general public ‘cos they’re all a---es. It’s YOUR life do what YOU want to do. Keep up the good work and look after yourself. Keep making the videos. P.S. long time since I was 40. P.P.S. Don’t forget your pension.
Great to see how your channel is progressing. With all your new avenues. Been here from the beginning… best of luck with all new ventures 👍
I once used Plumbers Mait when installing the fixings inside a cistern..not one leak! A first for me (not flooding the house as a novice DIY'er!) 🚽
Great news about the sponsorship pete, you deserve all the success you get 👍
Enjoyed this video! Nice easy watch
Another world class video mate
That ending was hilarious! Good luck to the new you dude 👍
Keep up the excellent videos.
Enjoy watching them on Sunday night.
Great video as usual mate. Glad you have got a new vision on what you want to do with your career. Love the pod cast. Keep the videos coming 👍👍
hahahaha the resignation in your hangover voice was priceless
That's a lovely little tip with the Worcester diverter valve, got one to do Wednesday 👍
I will always stick around watching your videos no matter what you do Pete ! ❤️🙌
Good to see you have some direction of where you want to be, you do right, you will always get enough work, so enjoy the other stuff while you can. Take care 👍🚽
Seem like a top guy, top vids! good on you goodluck on your journey!
Sunday night complete... cheers , the future looks bright 💪💪👍👍
At least I'm not the only one to get the dreaded leak from the clamp bolt
Life is all about decisions and you have to make the ones that are right for you!! Always No 1 first 👏👏 Great video as always
Every time the wingnuts on a toilet come off easily I start believing that there is a god 🙌🏻
Another great video! I've had that situation on the toilet before, undid it all put it back together again all looked good, then the bolt on the other side starting dripping 😂 think I nearly cried.
That toilet should have a isolation valve water regs would have saved you running up and down
which part of water regs is that? thanks
Lovely video as always
Congrats on the sponsorship, you've already sold me on getting a rogue 4 at some point. Some nice sexy real world plumbing this week, still taps and traps pay the bills :P
Good to see Pete do what you need to do to keep yourself Sane :)
Just bought all your kit bags 😆 they’re awesome, like making people jelly showing them off 😁 love your content, your the reason I’m studying gas at the moment. So, will be staying with you throughout 🤙🏼
Another great vid! All the best with the new ventures.
Great video mate 👍🏼🔥
Someone has flushed a nappy down that blocked toilet.
Well done for making a wise decision. Remember if the opportunity comes to anyone to have a better life and happier life to grab it. All I can say is there loss is our gain. You already look happy on the decision so good on you. Another great video and I’m sure I speak for many of your followers we’ll still be here waiting for next video. And so many good ideas coming don’t you ever rest lol.
I gave the letting agent work up years ago.
That triangle of dealing with tennants the agent and myself in the middle trying to keep everyone happy.Never again
Thank you Pete, you're an inspiration to an old man of March ten years your senior! Great news about the well deserved channel support, best of luck with your future self!
You'd love to work for me as where i can i switch out all fixings for stainless steel on toilets, sinks, baths etc and anything outside.... Saves me lots of time when i go back to fix things years later. And you don't end up with a cistern coming loose as the screws holding it to the wall rust away as they get wet from the spray. I also use stainless steel nails on my roofing jobs and roofers look at me as though i am mad as most just use galvanised.
Great career move. Do want you want to do and you'll always be happy.
Another mint video mate 👍👍
Great video again Pete. I would advise keeping a bit of body fat going into winter ❄️ with the increasing gas prices!
You seem to think that some of your vids are boring,? This is not so! Just showing how to get to the screw on the shower is priceless to some one if you don’t know and the thing with the toilet just shows that your human and what a crap job that is! Keep up the good work.
i wish i could have my 40th again i nearly died 3 heart attacks lol all through over worked n bad life choices take care m8
I am 48 and not loving work either . Not sure what I want to change yet but thinking to do . I don't blame you leaving the letting agents behind , it's not great work and not great places to work . Keep on filming the installation work.
Top vid, always got to go with ur heart & change is sometimes a good thing
another grate video mate really enjoy watching them and as an apprentice you learn a lot also hoping to get your 6.5 kit bag soon🤘
health is wealth bro!
Going to get one of them 3.5 bags ....
Top class m8 always evolving i dont think anyone in todays world can survive of you don't, well done on a what in sure will be a great decision for you 👍 💪👊👊
Fair play to you Pete, time to step down from the work that is depressing, the world is your oyster my friend.
Great as always PB!
hi PB ..do you never use silicone on fixing bolts/flush siphons etc...also what about fitting an iso valve on the supply pipe? save ya running back down to main stop every time
Isolation valve is a good shout but you shouldn't use silicone, rubbers are sufficient enough
also the bad jobs make the good one better,remember 'you cant have a rainbow without the rain' as dolly parton once said!
syphon needs conical seal part no sv34367 i always keep one on the van
Great video again Pete, I got rid of the letting agency I worked for a few ago and have never regretted it. Respect to the low body fat %, I think I have more than you in my leg🤣🤣
Thanks for the video - I wish I had your skills I understand your frustration with some of these "straightforward" jobs that turn into a nightmare and as you said "I might get the job but don't want it". However, where does that leave me as a consumer? Trying to get tradesmen is difficult just now for a variety of understandable reasons but if I have got a leaking toilet I don't have any choice but to try and get a plumber. If the trade is trying to avoid jobs they don't want we really are in a bad way.
Great vid as usual PB and very honest 👍
You don't need the shit stuff at this stage in your career. Big jobs done right each time, with the detail and time you put into them, will pay your bills.
My only comment would be to always wear your own T shirts that promote YOUR channel... and not a certain music channel 😒
Conventions are fun... you never know who you'll meet but make sure everyone knows who you are, and give them a nudge towards your channel.
👍😁
i always put a bit of jollop on siphons myself, all the new ones can be changed without taking the whole loo apart these days so why not
Exactly what plumbers have deal with
Good video, toilets can be so disheartening sometimes. I like the content when things don't hold to plan. Looking forward to the new content also
Can’t beat a copper pipe job
Aww I last couple year you will be plumber AMBBASIDER. I did pradid. Very pleased you looking community's. IGlad I hope go well. God bless. See you soon.
With regards to the bags. The veto hammer strap and pockets that tight struggle to get scything in. Any comments?
If I can I put a flexible tap connector with isolater on the feed…then I’m not running up and down turning the mains tap on and off
You don't use silicon to seal the toilets. I assume this is better, friend of mine always uses silicon. Are there two schools of thought ??
Pete how did u resist giving that weight a little curl. ?
good on you pete 👍
Well done buddy! I'd love to do some gym work could do with losing weight!
Does the PBNS mean Pete Booth No Shit 😂😂
Is that the standard set up for toilet cisterns in England? Having never worked on one over there. I'm not too bothered about working on toilets, it's radiators that always seem to be a pain in the arse for me. 😅
Good on you mate happy for you 👍.. You should maybe look into yoga for improving your mobility which will help at the later stages of life 😂
Toilets are my worst job that I do. Bloody hate working on them.
I’ll be 40 in March to, are you gonna be in Phex Chelsea 25oct ?
exciting time's PB after 20 of doing toilets and shit time for what you won't to do fella
Good
Aww I think you open plumber galore uppertunttiy and to want to gate plumber industry.
Your way too good for letting agents . Cherry pick your work Pete trust me 😉
Great video Pete 🙂 would you consider coming to my college with the copper pipe talk please? It's the Stem centre, St Helens college, every Wednesday evening 6pm to 9pm we are there 🙂👍
Silicone would have sorted that toilet easy, be no second attempt be done one the first try
What happened to Tradify ?
maintenance plumbing is a bucket of worms stress full i get anxious about it i went to a leak in kitchen it had rotten cupboards also poor ventilation mold in rooms tenant was immune compromised and suffered asthma i made comment about the mould as it was a major health problem he reported to the agent who reported to the owner i got blamed go figure
slum lords disgraceful building was later demolished slumlord son soon looking for new plumbers has problems retaining staff wonder why
WTF to getting Charlie Mullins on, I mean sh******t.
Think the biggest question for Charlie is why sell up? Stress, To big as a company, Not the direction he wanted, Wished to have the financial gains?
Alan Hart leeds plumber and youtuber
letting agents make you sick the conditions people live in, with it being mould growing possibly in the walls they should have had somebody out to sort it and rip that bathroom out as it will only cause more issues.
Pete there was no need to remove that cistern . The existing flush syphon in the cistern detaches to repair the diagram quickly. You would have saved 40imis on that job by not removing that cistern unnecessary
Dudley turbo isn't it
I’m not sure you can mate…barely get to see it so not certain.
Could you not get a video editor on FIVVER send them your footage and they will edit it all for you for a small fee.
so no warranty on te mixer mate? LOL
Do what makes you happy and you WILL NEVER go to work again.
🤘😎🤘
👍
Minging agents with minging customers. Minging!
Im 40. March 10th.
