    Very good advice Tom for any apprentices (or anyone) about de-nailing your timber. ALWAYS de-nail your timber to prevent a trip to A&E with a foot injury. I was taught this when building/striking theatrical scenery as a 17yr old. That's a long time ago and I still do it now, using my ancient Stanley Steelmaster claw hammer 😅

    Fair play Tom, everyone has a different view of being sponsored and working with companies…..
    like you said if you was to be sponsored it would have to be with a company you like…. Exactly what my view was and the reason why I work with the brands I do.
    Leading into Christmas there is ALOT of companies that contact people like us who make content….. probably 5/6 per week and I turn them down aswell.
    Keeping it “Real World” in the content is key to being relatable…
    Keep doing you….. 👍🏼👍🏼

    nice work ,why not run the pipework in the wall ?so much neater and easier for laminate flooring !

    • @PlumbLikeTom
      @PlumbLikeTom  2 дні тому

      It was always down to have these two rooms with the pipework on surface, I upgraded from an old one pipe system, where the entire house was surfaced fixed. Due to extensive renovation, I upgraded the system, and hid all the pipework. These two rooms were used for storage, and I only had a small area to originally work in so clipping back on the skirting was the only real option as the floor was laminate and was staying. Once the rest of the house was complete, the customer decided these two rooms were to be done, and they then wanted the pipes hiding

    Yeah the radiator thumbs stop you getting the black iron all over the house. Don’t get bent out of shape Tom, the client obviously changed his mind. I always trim the Loctite 55 off the thread when tightened up to tidy. Takes longer than making the thread up. lol.

    One question ... when you install skirting boards over wall-mounted radiator tubes, do you buy off-the-shelf skirts or do a a custom-make ? If custom, what skirt material is best suited to the job ?

    Coming from a maintenance background myself I’d rather pipes be visible and easily accessible in case of leaks etc. never did enjoy having to destroy perfectly good finishes in properties because everything is hidden, obviously costing the customer more too.
