When work feels overwhelming remember you are going to die.

And don’t eat yellow snow.

Never say you’re a Plumber on here or that you’ve even touched a pipe.

My top tip deals with rounded off screw heads.
I've had it happen far too often where a 2min job of taking a door off has taken me half an hour 'cos the screws are overpainted and/or rounded off.
Keep a wide elastic band in your tool box and place that over the screw head and press your bit into that - works a treat every time.
To undo any screw,be it Pozi,Phillips or slotted,slightly tighten it first before unscrewing.
Seems crazy,but it works.
