PART 2 NOW UPLOADED! Thanks for all your support everyone don’t forget to gives us a like 👊👍

What a day day one was! I have had days where nothing goes right, where everything you touch goes wrong. I could feel it all and hear it in your voice, days like these make you want to cry. Looking forward to day two. It looks very neat and tidy, like a pro. ❤

Sometimes you just need to walk away and come back the next day with fresh eyes and it will go well. Lee

Your work is better than 90% of stuff I see mate! Just the fact your getting frustrated shows you care. It looked an awkward job you did well. I get those days where I feel like throwing the tools across the room 😂 so your aren’t alone

Oh my god! I have just got to the bit where you've picked up the floor boards and identified the pipes, I would have walked away and never come back. I wouldn't have done it in the first place. I feel so sorry for you. I'm going to continue watching it now. Deep breath...... ❤

After 40yrs of plumbing I have had lots of days like this. I know exactly how you were feeling.

This is why , we always used to stop for tea when we got to the job and always stopped at break time, and if we were going to be late we had another 10mins break. Now we rush everything never stopping for breaks

I think everyone in most professions have days like this. My GP has had years like this!! A very professional job. Don't be hard on yourself

Chin up Luke, we all have days like this, more so during silly season when we got other jobs on our minds too. Nice work on the boiler relocation 👍🏾

Not a trader but been a diyer for over 40 years and done alsorts over the years, had many days when everything is just a struggle. Saying that it's easier to do a lot of things nowadays than 40 years ago. Cheers good job and its nice to see a tradesman that takes pride in his work.

Top work bud I've had week's like this some people just don't see the amount of shit we have to go through to get jobs done chin up bud keep it real 😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍

Neat job👍 I'm not GSR, I work in maintenance for a hotel chain. Called out to blocked toilet. Convinced myself blockage was in a horizontal run near the pan. Took the pan out (pan connector went 90° left) No blockage. Decided blockage was in another room. Gave up, called the jettting lads, plugged pan connector with a towel as now cheesed off/knackered. Went home. Called out again to massive flood of s..t. Blockage on floor below had held then gallons of sewage from above had forced my towel out. Probably could all have been done better, but these things happen 😅

Thanks for posting Luke. Today’s been a shitter for me as well. Keep posting the good and the bad mate. We are only human. 👍👍

I moved a boiler for a builder once for an extension he was building...it didn't end well so I'll never do it again. The flue was rotten in the wall, the jig was bent and twisted, and the formed elbows needed replacing....by the time I'd finished it would have been easier to fit new

We've all had them day's, and i give you credit for documenting. This is how we learn

Totally helps your videos mate I just passed an intensive plumbing course and my head went for 1 1/2weeks during the practical nothing went right , a few simple supposed hour jobs out in the real world went pear shaped airlocks that wouldn't budge , leaks that wouldn't stop , now half way through my gas course more pain incoming

Those days when what you want to do bad what actually happens. Fair play you kept going. That's all that counts in the end. 👍💪🏼

Great work mate we all have off days your a credit to your trade👍🇬🇧

Top man. More patience than me. That level is next level and must pay for itself many times over.

We all have days like this. Too much running through our heads of jobs we've done, quotes to be carried out, upcoming jobs. All whilst carrying out work to the best of our abilities. That was a cracking job you left bud.

My every day is like this work hard play hard. Everyday has a new problem to solve, where's the fun in doing same thing day in day out with no issues. That's why we became plumbers in the first place 🙃

Always better the next day pal, it’s when that tiredness kicks in unfortunately Lovely job you’ve done there 👍🏻

Great job - think you’ve done well 👍

We're not robots everyone has a bad day. Don't beat yourself up and fair play to showing the reality of life as a plumber. Lot of guys on social media would like you to think they're perfect.

I'm a DIYer. The pipework at the start looked a complete mess and credit to you for doing a neat job. I just wondered why you fitted the pipework through some flooring. Wouldn't it have been easier to pipe-up first and box in after? Especially based upon the untidy previous work. I refitted our bathroom in 97 with yorkshire joints and a heat gun. Push fit was unproven and expensive back then. It was a steep learning curve with lots of frustration!

Braver man than me I probably couldn't fit in that space

Everyone has days when you can’t see the wood for the trees. Another day makes a world of difference.

Hi Your far to hard on yourself I've 40 years in the job and you should be proud of your dedication. What you've posted is fabulous work. Your dedication to your customers will continue to provide you with plenty of work. Do stick with your soldering unless you have issues with hot permit re Commercial properties. Very impressed and enjoy watching your content.

We have all had days like this, best to leave and fight another day. Cracking video. Press Fit, all i ever see is press fit leaks! Constantly fixing leaks, stick with solder fittings.

well done on an awkward job 👏👏👍👍

Dude I feel your pain ...... but solder will outlast you . Dude pull the bends into the jig. Save your sanitity 😂. Your a trooper. Keep at it 💪

Keeping going my son don't worry about it

Cracking job mate 👍

Yep, I agree with the other comments, we all get the bad days, but an excellent neat job. You could try a bit of Hardybacker board for your soldering, it works a treat and you can cut bits to fit into all those dodgy areas, no heat goes through it.

We all have them days, I got the novapress last year from plumbingforless on Black Friday 👌id hang on for that, the Metabo core drill is a bit of a beast and not too expensive pair it with the Bosch coredrill dust attachment for your hoover that sticks to the wall 👍👍

We all recognise when we have a bad day but establishing what the cause was, to prevent it happening again is the most important thing. I will raise my head above the parapet and expect to be flamed and say this, you could help yourself by spending more time on the planning aspect - even to the point of writing a list of the ‘order of battle’ and when it comes to pipework concentrating on completing each home run rather than hopping from one run to another. But at the end of the day we all make mistakes - the man who never made a mistake never made anything.👍

I have been a plumber and heating engineer forty years plus retired from plumbing last year. nice to see good quality young plumber like your self proper tradesman some times people try to hard don't beat your self up we all get bad days just say to yourself I managed to that job and all workerd well feel proud of your self keep up the good work merry Christmas

It's brilliant to see a video of when it goes tits up. Rather of just the best bits. As gas engineers we all have those days. Would definitely recommend a press gun. Something I seem to use more and more. The only downside is the fittings are massive and more expensive.

I love soldering. Its a dying art and takes skill, keep doing it. Might take a little bit longer but looks so much neater. Looks tidy that from what ive seen

Don't beat yourself up.Everyone has an off day.Should have the drill serviced use as a back up. Keep up the good work.

Nice insight

I'm a joiner and I wouldn't of done that, some builder that like 😮

When soldering I found it don’t need a high flame turn it down until you get that whistling sound no scorching and far more control over the solder less runs and if it’s non potable use lead , lower melting point and don’t run as much.

Where did you get the laser level adjustment thing?

Man oh man I am sitting here cringing. I was a house basher until 2015 and I felt like I was genuinely losing it. Fortunately for me, my back went big time and it was game over for me, in hindsight, best thing that happened to me C/H is a very hard and horrible job sometimes……I feel your pain mate.

Looks like a quality job to me. If I get frustrated just walk away, 10 times easier the next morning. You wouldn’t get me up a ladder at that angle though, you’ll come a cropper be careful.

Yes, sometimes you feel like youre treading in water for weeks on end. However much of that stress and situation is felt by my subbies. Following or even working with builders is a minefield. Best to be the main contractor.

I know this feeling, them days you look at a job and go “how the F*CK has this took me so long” knowing you have a load left to do, get even more frustrated and then everything takes even longer 😂 bloody hate it! We all need bad days so we appreciate the good days when we get a nice easy combie swap, finished by 2pm and go home with a nice profit!

O! Yeah!!!

I think is about time one of you gasenginers be brave and bold enough to start using MLCP pipe for boilers save lots time and less fittings you can shape those pipe fairly easily camon lads give it a go

Any Plastic Pipe is meant to 600mm or more from the Boiler , Worster-Bosch Regulations .🤔So the Original Installer was wrong .

I’m retired and I still get days like that

Hi what good a install ,

Just seen this one mate, it happens and it is quite upsetting or frustrating. Nice recovery though. Just had one of these last week.

There was a little bird visiting you through the condensate hole at 9:11 and latter it showed its displeasure that you stuck a pipe in it an ruined its nesting ideas! If you had noticed it, you might have chilled out. He was having a bad day as well.

I feel your pain😢

Mate every day is like that for me 😂 I've got press life saver at times

Great video. Not sure where you walked away from it though or did you mean you called it a day when it was late and went home?

Milwaukee care drill is good my friend has a hilti core drill and that is in a league of its own but you need to keep hold as the torque is quite high and the clutch is vicious

🤘😎🤘

Mate do plumber do much wiring and what is the extent of it can u legally wire to the spur or how does it work 🤔 ? Did u wire the sockets in the new area or was that a sark and what was the amount of wiring u done on this job specifically?

We've all had them m8, my worst one was cutting in a filling loop on a gas pipe( working on vaillant in the morning and alpha in the afternoon) only thing that saved me was i had the ECV shut.......a very bad day 🤯🤯🤯

Are there any professional plumbers who can tell me where it says either in Manufacturer's instructions or building regs it states that "Push Fit " plumbing does not require clipping? Time and Time again i come across this. and the infamous quote... "It will be alright and I've never had a failure" If you're not clipping push fit then you're not doing the job correctly. Nice to see it was changed to copper.

eibenstock core drill, and use the blue marcrist core bits, best setup ive ever had

Don’t normally comment badly on your videos mate because your works mint that waste at the bottom for the shower could of connected onto that flexi into Mcalpine tee then back out into trap clip the flexi would of worked also Worcester got 250-300 from soffits press tool get a novo press ace 103 small compact powerful goes upto 35mm good little press tool had mine few years now be lost without it

we all have had a bad day.If it was easy everybody would be doing it😂😂😂

Not an easy boiler to fit either so well done.

Mate plumbing never straight forward. Never mind clear your head and come back the next day. It’s still a nice job mate top video thanks 👍🏻

The amount of times ive left an install after 9pm when everything is going wrong Feel ur pain mate

I have a Hilti dd100 and it flys through.

Press less stress mate, 😊

Don’t beat your self up big guy we all have them

Did you ever try to core damp blocks???? Pain in the testicles 😳

Honesty is the best policy. You tubers sympathise, but these vids are the equivalent of blood and gore as viewing material

We call that 'Ronning out' when one of the lads loses their head usually over nothing and sends the job sideways and ends up with every joint leaking and the flue hole 25mm too low 😂

cheeky pigeon poking through the hole at 9:12 ?

Change the nozzle on your gun to a cool tip alot neater flame thank me latet 🙏👌

Looks a nightmare job i would have walked in and walked out😢

Great vid to show what really happens in a day and life of a plumber. Can I ask what is the story behinds your name blue bulldog? Cheers

Go home , shower , eat , chill sleep .. get up go to work & grab that boiler & show it who's boss !!

Why was the condensate hole so big?

Get the Milwaukee core drill it won't let you down and it will last years

Had plenty of days like this ,it's called being human

It could have been worse, as you could have fell off that dangerous angled ladder

It looks great mate but I wouldn't be trusting them plastic fittings iv seen the damage that they can cause 😭

Mate get a press gun. Novapress aco103. Save yourself stressing and plenty of time. Fittings little bit more expensive but you’ll be home in no time washing your feet in the bath 😁

Press gun, really big, expensive ,nah Stick to the solder If you are that worried about dripping solder,start using Yorkshire fittings

I like solder, it takes time yes but it looks so much better. Nown wrong with your work my friend

Wheres the part where you walked away ?

Well, what a "coincidence" that the days when everything goes wrong are usually on the jobs where some blockhead did "it not my problem" thingy :) 9:13 - is that a mice in the condensate hole behind you?

Don’t work too hard need someone to help you. It’s a lot of work to move a boiler on your own. Take it from a plumber heating engineer of 45 years. Good job though.

Great but please don’t put boiler etc on customers carpet, I use corex sheets about a fiver each. Cheaper and more professional that paying for new carpet.

3:50 No cavity insulation in that wall either?

Well done mate, although you should have taken a mate and it would have been easier for you

The thing is they want to be in and out and paid ASAP, anything that remotely looks like they have to think outside of the box the panic sets in, Plumbers and Mechanics are greedy ba$tards.

Back heal in some push fit man, what’s up with ya? What’s this industry coming too…laser condense pipe install 😔

Did anyone else see the mouse in the condensate hole at time approx 10:00-10:15????

I think you just plain overworked yourself. There is nothing wrong with your work and you only did the things we all do ( or did in my case..I'm retired). Taking a break and coming back refreshed is so important. Work to your own pace and not the customers, otherwise you just get stressed out, and as you get older it just gets harder to cope with work stress. I know ! Nicely done anyway 👍

Tbh I would have rejected the job. I feel that moving an existing boiler to a new location is asking for problems.

You strive to provide very high-quality jobs and succeed in it - we can see it. Shitty content creator don't get subscribed - you do. PArt of the problem with your work schedule could be a simple burnout. Self-employed, trying to establish yourself - you probably work way longer hours than a modest 44h a week and on top of that - you upload all the youtube clips. It takes a toll on your wellbeing. Do not overpressurise yourself. If on some jobs you just want to do "good enough" and without camera recording - just do it. We can wait for another clip. Mental rhythm, regular breaks, holidays. Tell us about your next planned holiday, please. BTW, you did not walk away from this one - you've just taken a normal break for eat/sleep/normal activities.
