  • Day in the life of a plumber
    We are back at the renovation today where I rip out the old boiler and get the hot and colds all first fixed downstairs, there were one or two surprising finds.
    As always, thanks for all the support, it is greatly appreciated

      Luckily the audience doesn't get to see all the dislikes now, I honestly don't mind to much but I do get trolled quite heavily, It's generally not to do with my work but more just aimed at me, I just hope to keep improving and try to put the best content out possible for the people who enjoy to watch, and I'm so grateful that the vast majority of people support me

      It could be Paul, I think they had lathered it around the inside of the fitting because the pipe was not cut square and had no insert, it would have been tough to get to with the boiler in position so they probably just bodged it, thanks for watching mate
