WOW, I hadn't seen this thread for days, and had no idea it had gone on like this.


Okay, I said "That was my first thought too. Kids might key a car a bit, but too properly damage it you need to be really pi$$ed off with the flash git who owns it."


Now in writing that, I had no idea if the car was owned by a straight man, an 80 year old pensioner, a gay woman, or what... I was merely joining in with the scorned lover scenario, and had images of expensive suits being cut up, and yes I was being stereotypical in a light hearted way. I am sorry if I upset your sensitivities, but I wouldn't call myself a "vicious and unthinking" kind of guy.


I'm not envious of anyone who owns a Porche, because I don't drive and have no wish to... I guess I might be envious of someone who could afford a Porche, but I'm sure I could find better things to spend that money on.


I do however play the guitar, and I openly admit that I love people looking at my Gibson Les Paul, big Marshall amp and stupid pedal that does everything if you know how it works (which I don't) with envy, and proudly admit to being a flash git in that sense.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
