The pipes and tap for the bathroom were already there so the parts were socket and wire and replace the u-bend under the sink with one that could take the dishwasher (old one was cas iron) they charged us £700 for that (remember 25% VAT on everything...)<BR/>As for fitting the flooring, I have one big think in my favour - the flooring will fit neatly under the skirting board when I take off the existing beading which wil help a lot (I hope)Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649747163716439871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27191651.post-55852948666956844402007-10-18T09:09:00.000+02:002007-10-18T09:09:00.000+02:00Phwoor !Phwoor !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27191651.post-36022515224925453992007-10-18T04:48:00.000+02:002007-10-18T04:48:00.000+02:00Posiden phoriasis psorelanwrmPosiden phoriasis psorelan<BR/>wrmwilliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177248393218928648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27191651.post-78530549274170751362007-10-17T23:10:00.000+02:002007-10-17T23:10:00.000+02:00I hope that I am not the "old boiler" referred to!...I hope that I am not the "old boiler" referred to!<BR/>mAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27191651.post-60301673536323775102007-10-17T21:35:00.000+02:002007-10-17T21:35:00.000+02:00W, why don't you package up all the plumbing tasks...W, why don't you package up all the plumbing tasks including the boiler to make the visit worthwhile (the rate must be PH) throw in supply of ALL the parts so that the job is worthwhile from the plumbers point of view but obliges him to suply all the bits that you will neither know are needed nor will easily be able to source. The total bill will be mitigated by all the prep work you will have done and because you will make it easy for the plumber to do his part ie no wasted time - no interruptions just all ready & waiting for his expertise. If they really are so expensive it's the only way.

A belated H' Birthday and congrat's on your two new jobs, I hope they will prove to be a great challenge and reward. Best of luck with the kitchen, like the flooring. I don't remember how the cabinets/counters look tho. <BR/><BR/>Seems like an early winter in LA, with below normal temps & rain 3 x's in a mo, but since we had almost a drought last year it's welcome.
