They're not going into your spam email are they?

I thought that was unnecessary if you have sufficient land drainage / SUDS mitigation measures?

That deserves a slap.

Revenge is MIIIIIIIIIIINE

Are you saying he pulled speedfit all the way to the rad valve?

Clean it back with emery cloth, whip it with self amalgamating tape and move on with your life. ??

In all of my site inductions we've been reminded that "we're each responsible for our own safety". When you invite others you then become responsible for them. Basically it's a minefield. Oh, and let's not forget the ones who'll injure themselves whilst doing something wrong and then adjust the circumstances, whilst your backs turned, and push the fault, and subsequent liability, onto you. For the benefit of our female readers I won't repeat the word I use to describe those bottom feeders.

That completely depends upon whether or not you need to be fully competent from the word go

If he was told there were 2 leaks then it shows little or no effort to locate the second one imo. Id ask for a reasonable reduction in cost for the second drain down, seeing that it was already identified for him to solve. the argument is that you weren't there to demonstrate it to him and, if it were me, I'd have sprayed a paint over the leaking joint ( if I knew I couldn't be present at the time he called ). Id ask to settle at £260 flat.

Just banned my boy for 1hr for chopsing to swmbo. Like the sky had fallen. ?

Keeping in mind that a crap induction hob will still suck 40a, and a tidy one over 50a. That wouldn't be a small generator.

Yup. Shouldn't matter if it's a smart charger as it'll charge according to the state of the battery. Mine stops and gives a 'fully charged' indication and then gives just a tiny tickle to maintain it.

Which make? Any links ?

Do you use a straw?

You need to get out more often

Nothing better than being covered in magnetic eps dust.

No building control recognition and subsequent registration of your new gas installation = no insurance. Put a reasonable price on that ? 30 years ago things were different, but in 2017 what advice should we suggest here, given our wide viewing audience, some of whom only read what's written here. ? 30 years ago all you needed on a construction site were Teflon coated Y-fronts and some sunblock. A bit different today where you need a high vis to fill your trolley in b&q. Lets advise according to 2016/17, and do it with the same passion, concern and conviction 'we' display when discussing say air tightness and insulation levels. . And yes, I'm quite passionate about this subject

You can box clever, buy these and then a naked impact etc and mix n match the tools, batteries and charger as necessary. One point not raised yet is the unreliability of gas guns in the extreme cold. I often have to take the gas out and warm it between my hands before my hitachi will fire, and then it's not 100% consistent. Dry, regular days are not a problem though, so just a point to consider. If I was in your shoes it would be a tough call but I think I'd go with the Dewalt tbh, due to gaining batteries and a charger. All depends on whether you have Dewalt tools already or not I suppose.

Happy days. ?

You wake up in the morning and everyone is alive for another day, by luck rather than good judgment. .

Agreed. Think of all the takeaway food you could order if you didn't spend £100's fitting the 'doomsday' cooker. The takeaways would cover you during the powercut btw, and you ring them off your mobile. Simples!

Much as I've done loads of gas work, it's all been either under 'supervision' or commissioned and signed of by a GSR fitter. I don't think I could live with the consequences of a fatality caused by my own hand, even worse if it's was one of my own family who died whilst I wasn't at home. There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE not to get a GSR fitter to test and commission pipework you've pulled point to point. None whatsoever other than just being too tight or failing to see the infinite value in doing so. 1) Sleep at night knowing your installation is safe. 2) Same for your family. 3) You can't get a completion certificate on a gas install unless done as above. Fitting it yourself afterwards is just a mind-numbingly bad idea. 4) Good luck claiming on your insurance if said, non-registered work, causes a fire or total loss of your home. You won't get a penny. How anyone one can see value in not paying for this to be done properly is beyond my comprehension.
