hi all, sorry that this is late and a bit longwinded but i thought you would like to know how things are going.
got to job this morning and continued working got a phone call from the ladies son asking if i knew a good plumber(fired off butch and sundance)
i do i said i will give him a ring to pop round. 20 mins later both he and the son arrive they agree a price job done. ten miutes later phone rings(butch and sundance) not happy coming round to sort me out? funny i said thought the customer was paying me? swear swear swear phone down.(them not me) plumber mate decides to stay for a laugh. 2 hours later (typical of plumbers lol) they arrive looking none to pleased, goes outside with my mate and he falls about laughing butch and sundance quickly get back in van and zoom off, seems that they and my mate have come to blows before and they lost badly. had a cup of tea and a slice of cake and carried on working. mentioned that someone said about rogue traders and that i should put their name up, dont bother he says they have already been on(twice) turns out that neither of these pair are qualified plumbers. anywat finished tonight about 8.30 (just sealant to apply but plumber said he will do that tomorrow for me :thumbsup:) sorry about the pics had to use my phone and the grout had not dried out (looks dark but is limestone) so doesnt look as good as it does in natural light.

Glad they got 'sorted'...Those taps look awful close to the wall or is it just the camera angle...


sadly the bath was too big so they had chiseled the wall out to make it fit and the taps were already in place plus the size of the tiles left no room, had to scribe the tiles to fit over the tap plates. i did point this out before i started the tiling but they the lady and the son decided it was ok.
