I've been changing the hopeless pneumatic toilet flushes at work for cable push button items.
Plumbing firms quoting 450/500 per apartment!!!
Ive done them for work at an agreed £50 including parts and fitting. So work makes a little for my time. Units cost a whopping £12.50 each
I did 8 today and 8 more tues and weds.
This country is full of firms that steal from all care and nhs providers.
25k to do 50 apartment flush changes..no wonder were all paying through the nose if this is whats being charged

Mrs Salad and I are busy decorating her dad's new flat, in anticipation of him moving in, in perhaps 2 weeks time. The only problem is that he lives about 65 miles from us, so we have been doing a lot of miles this week....
Today, I thought I would award us a day off, and stay home with my feet up.
Then our drains stopped working, and I had a not so lovely morning unblocking all sorts of horrible stuff.........

Mrs V (with about 2 mins warning) decided to pull up hall carpet as it was mucky (and Cream in colour) it needed professionally cleaning again....
So she decided to pull it up and see what was underneath with a view to cushion floor or laminate going down.... We now have a fetching concrete floor in the hall.
I couldn't help as still on a fortnight of taking it very easy ref Doc after nearly a week in hospital with septic kidney. Back at work end of next week. But Doc saw cycling magazine in hospital and banned me off the bike for 4 weeks...
It was a struggle watching her pull the carpet and grippers up then lift them in to the car then out again at the tip on her own but don't worry I coped....
And goodness knows how long it will be before we decide on what to put down in the carpets place... Could be a few weeks/months

Nice and warm here today and I got punted out into the garden with orders to clean the weeds from the front patio. A thankless task at best I find, which is why Madam doesn't often volunteer herself I'd like to say that it was a fun afternoon but then I'd be telling porkies

Well got the radiator replaced in the week. Fitted it yesterday and daughters room is now very toasty.
Went out for a ride this afternoon ignoring the foot high grass that is our front and back lawns. That's for another day or even year.

What's best method to clean blocked external drains?
The gutter piping isn't quite finished but I thought I'd test it and noticed the drain was blocked with mud. I clawed as much as I could out but it's still blocked. One other is fine. Another on the other side of the house is blocked.
Baking soda and vinegar?
Buy some rods and poke it?
Pressure washer..?

Whichever you have at hand for starters, if it is mud I would have thought the jet wash.
