Working With Your Mates, What Could Go Wrong?

Working with your mates or other trades, that is the topic of discussion in this weeks episode when we teamed up with AB interiors to get a first fix done on a bathroom.
We will be first fixing all the hot and cold for the shower and basin and running the cold supply for the toilet. This first fix was right back down to the brickwork so its completely from scratch so you will see how we organise and route the pipework while trying to work with another trade
ALSO...we will be sharing our experience and giving advice when it comes to working for your mates or other trades
Thank you all again for your support...so close to 10k now!

It makes a nice change, when you get to work with people from time to time, being a sole trader. But after a day… I’ve had enough of it and want to be back on my own 😂 you two did well in such a small space! Loved the new angles/voiceovers on this one🎉

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Yeah mate I’m same after 1 day I could go a week without seeing anyone 👍👍😂😂 thanks mate thought I’d change it up a little bit

[@chiron6699]

Great video as usual mate. Whats the tape that you put around the pipe called?

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Foil tape 👍

[@jonny7491]

That’s why I had Luke around the other day for boiler service and gas fire cap off, after watching him work felt like he was a mate I could trust his work,would definitely recommend him.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Pleasure working for you mate 🙌👍

I'll never forget when I got caught short, needed a shit, both toilets out and water off. So decided I was near a public one, drove to it, and it was shut and padlocked. I'm really struggling now. I decide to go in the bucket in my van, opened sliding doors, went in and closed the door, quite peaceful tbh. Blue roll to clean up. All done. Then I went to open sliding door from the inside, it was deadlocked! My key did not work to open from the inside. My phone was in the front. Panic set in, plus the smell. My ladder rack was internal then, It was a Ford Connect. I managed to get to the back door latch with a length of 22mm, it opened a little, I pushed the ladders back against those doors, thankfully they opened. Ladders and racking out the way I could crawl out. Still freaks me out.

[@tirvplumbing]

Now that's funny😂

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Mate I actually laughed out loud at that 😂😂 what a predicament to be in…imagine if someone had to open the doors for you, the smell they would have been greeted with 😂😂 fair play mate that’s a good one thanks for sharing 🙌👍

[@andrewoleary9704]

Those preformed crossovers are well worth carrying. I really struggle to get anything that tight

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Yes mate they am definitely worth keeping on van, like you said no bend is getting tighter than them 👍

[@andrewoleary9704]

Actually caught a sparky walking off with x4 of my Makita batteries and multi charger……all his tools were Dewalt!! “ oh sorry bro ,thought they were mine”!!!!

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Wow, good job you caught him in time!

[@richardranson9449]

I don't let anybody use my tools and I would not use there's. Because if am using mine and it broke it's down to me. Cheers mate.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Yeah mate I know a few lads that have a strict policy on there tools and I don’t blame them, some tools can cost £££, like you said if you lend it to someone and it breaks am you going to trust them to replace or reimburse

[@mburton5365]

@@bluebulldog_uk If a family member or friend wants to borrow any of my tools then the answer is no but I will come round and do it for you or you bring the item that needs fixing to me. Saves any arguments about broken tools etc.

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Yep working with mates or for family is a no no.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Can be a headache 😅

[@markchambers]

Hi Luke You attending Installer Show NEC next week

[@bluebulldog_uk]

[@markchambers]

@@bluebulldog_uk Wow you must be earning to much money to spend three days 😉

[@jimmym2628]

how come the basin pipes are that far apart pal, big basin or summot?

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Wasn’t sure just thought one on left other on right be sound 😅👍

[@nathangroves3177]

Can I ask why you used tape on the tube in the wall and not lagging? I'm going to be your worst stalker for asking questions 😅😅😅 It's videos like this that I learn from.... As for boxes, I used to buy DeWalt and then noticed that Stanley is DeWalt and the gear is exactly the same (fits with DeWalt too) in build quality and it's only 2/3 of the price.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Didn’t have any pipe wrap/lagging mate as my mate was supplying materials so just use that tap to protect pipe 😅 yeah the Stanley fat max am great to be fair, them dewalt ones are very similar, I’ve got a few Stanley boxes as well been great for other fittings 👍👍 And don’t worry about the questions mate, fire away 😂🙌

[@andrewoleary9704]

It’s purely a barrier to protect the pipe from brick and cement

[@stephendavies925]

Always trust your mates never trust your family they always want jobs done for nothing, Oh I will get you a few pints, I think not😂

[@benc1439]

Heard that one a few times 😐

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Mates are the family you choose 👌👍

[@plumber9885]

I blame the cyclist
