Did you guess what I was doing?! I can’t resist a new skill being learned and this is definitely outside of the remit of plumbing 💁🏼‍♀️

I’m using my carpenters pencil and my black paint marker to outline my stone carving stencil! That’s right..I am going to try and turn my hand to a bit of stone carving…look for part 2 to see my try and turn this chunk of stone into a polar bear 🐻‍❄️

Remember this towel radiator…I installed it the other week and connected back onto the old valves…something you all noticed! 👀Well that was because I was waiting for the matching anthracite grey lock-shield valves to arrive…and now they have💁🏼‍♀️let’s get them fitted! 👌🏻👩🏼‍🔧

When I started as an apprentice this was my one fear….undoing a nut on the valve and there still being lots of pressure in the pipework! I’m still very considered with my pal ‘Phil’ the bag there just incase but it’s funny thinking back to what used to worry me when I started training! Anyone else get this?

I’m a tradie…not an accountant! 👩‍🔧

With HM Revenue & Customs’s Making Tax Digital changes here, staying on top of tax admin just got more important — but it doesn’t need to be stressful.
I’ve partnered with Sage Group plc who can help us sole traders stay organised, compliant, and focused on the job as tax goes digital.

Oh…and Sage’s offering free hi-vis too 👀

I have a new project coming up soon where I get to turn my hand to another new skill… any ideas what I’ll be having a go at? 👀💁🏼‍♀️ Clue - it’s nothing to do with plumbing…so I might be terrible at it 😂

I am tracing out my stencil design using the 8890 pencil and giving myself a final design to work with using the 750 black paint marker…these markers work on so many materials and apparently dusty stone…is no different 👌🏻✏️ hint hint 😉

When your van’s a bit too small but the jobs still need doing… good job I’ve got a chippy partner with a bigger van. 💁🏼‍♀️ Got myself on the road in minutes with - from 1 hour up to 30 days, which really helped in this situation.

Just me fitting a radiator the size of a canoe 🤣💁🏼‍♀️🛶

This was the longest one I’ve fitted at 2.4metres…and I decided to fit it on the hottest day of the year 🙈 music was necessary - casually obsessed with one song 🤣 do excuse the moves and yes the muffin was a necessary energy boost!

I do hope everyone else had a lovely long weekend and actually got outside to enjoy the sun ☀️ 🙌🏼
