do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
I know I know šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ just another one to add to the jobs list
the joys of premises Ross ....
just remember every pound you spend on improving/maintaining them is 100% tax deductable at the end of the year;):giggle:(y)
if you've had a 'good year' it's a good place to spend the earnings, rather than giving it to the blood suckers, as you get to keep all of it to spend ...
new equipment is also well up in the deductability stakes too :cool: ..... we all pay far too much tax :mad:

I use it out of sight, always copper when on show. Important thing is to mark insert depth before pushing pipe together ;)
I use it with consideration on the location, I don't like to bury it under tiles but will use it everywhere else. I do try to hide my pipes though.

Why do people prefer to hide plastic and show copper? Seems very disney to me. Next place (house) I want manifolds under boiler with continuous runs to all radiators and appliances taps etc. No hidden/inaccessible joints apart from possibly first fix kit behind bar shower. The pre formed plastic bends which you bend the speedy fit into are good 10mm and 15mm.

I don’t like burying any pipes internally regardless of material, I just explain the risks to customer and let them choose.

Copper sits straight in clips whereas plastic won’t (unless you use straight lengths) Here’s of my installs, couldn’t do it that neatly in plastic!

Great install although the condensate pipe spoils it :ROFLMAO:
Love doing plumbing with copper. However, this year I was converted to the merits of JG Speedfit stuff.
Certainly helped massively doing the kitchen refit with new water softener and rising main etc :cool:
I even stuck the plastic stuff in clips to get get nice straight runs :geek:
Quick Q - Will be installing a new oil boiler very soon. Was thinking of a nice Grant VortexBlue......
.....do you have experience and/or thoughts about these low Nox boilers:unsure:

I’ve seen the condensate done in copper......don’t last long mind :ROFLMAO: I don’t really deal with oil boilers only gas ones, and fit pretty much nothing but Worcester Bosch.

I hope you’ve improved since sending me a three ton size 9ā€ bucket for a 1.5t machine, with wonky bosses to boot.

Luckily I’ve just ordered an E27 so I might finally use the f****ng thing.

Have you got your E27 yet? Any good? I’ve put a deposit down on one today too.

and you haven't had a play with one ???? like buying a car you've never driven :oops:

Quick go, nothing heavy though. On paper it ticks all the relevant boxes, looks/feels well screwed together, it has a great cab, I’ve not seen or heard of any negatives tbh.
I don’t think there’s much between the machines from the main players in this weight category in terms of quality/useability, but you can soon spend a lot optioning apparently equivalent machines up (a mate has just thrown a further Ā£500 at a Kubota to have a radio FFS!).
One of the applications I’m hoping to use it for on occasion is to run a mulcher (that in reality is a bit too big for this size machine, but won’t be tasked with heavy vegetation, only light scrub) - with optional extra counterweight and the apparently available oil flow it seems to tick my boxes slightly ahead of others in its weight class (and is one of the reasons I didn’t go for a zero). And it should be legally towable with the attachments in the tow vehicle.
Added to that Bobcat have interest fee finance at present (not strictly true as there is £300 document fees on top before the machine is yours, but £300 over 5 years is buttons!).

What’s the lead time on these E27’s? I know someone who has been without theirs since February, waiting for a problem to be resolved, I assume this is due to supply issues?

What sort of problem?...

I was told that they are on a 6 week lead time, but mine is coming from dealer stock somewhere within the network so should have it in a week or so apparently.

Keen to hear of any issues though!

Mine has taken about five weeks, apparently it’s in dealers yard now but I keep chasing them for updates! I went for twin aux so expected it to take a little longer.

I bought the e10 blind and was impressed, the 0%finance is what convinced me to buy this blind also.

Something was mis-aligned during manufacturing. Result being that with a grading bucket fitted, it was 2ā€ higher one side than the other! Something seriously wrong with a jig somewhere? Story I’ve heard is it wasn’t a one off, a whole batch were the same, so getting a new part to rectify the issue was proving difficult! Guy reckons the boom was twisted somehow, but it could be boom, dipper, kingpost, or even the main frame of the machine! He’s not sure by the sounds of it, all he knows is it was not right and it’s been gone since February!

Farkinell!!!!

Sounds like your bucket might fit perfectly Doobin!...

I’ve gone twin aux as well - let’s see if this machine really is sat in a yard somewhere (and is straight!!!!!!)

That must be why there pushing tilt hitches so much nowšŸ˜‚
