day from hell

[RyanCheetham]

Today has been an absolute nightmare and could not end fast enough. Day starts off with mrs exhaust falling off so i have to run her to work which is a 20 mile detour in the wrong direction which makes me latemfor work, i get to the site, my first day on it and i start chasing out for pattresses when my bolster snaps so im left to doing it with an old chisel. The fuse board cupboard was full of crap worse than most lofts, then when drilling through for main water bonding i catch the hot water pipe out of the boiler, first time in 7 years i have hit a pipe. Water is flooding out as its under mains pressure, so i isolate the boiler power and try to turn the stop cock off but its siezed. I get the grips on it and the head just snaps off. Off i go to the road to turn outside stopcock off and the holes full of mud which i dug out with my hand down to my shoulder. I turn the valve off but it doesnt shut the water off, i was not happy. In the end i had to smash the back of the kitchen unit out and cut the pipe live and make the repair. Absolutly gutted with myself

I hope you have taken it out on your misses if she had not made you late ...............

 

[RyanCheetham]

Haha i couldn't take it out on her, shes a good one. Had dinner waiting when i got home and she had walked the dogs so i didnt have too. Tomorrow cant be any worse so there is no point in avoiding it.

 

[stuartcourt]

fair play hitting pipes a mare at best of times

 

[Brightspark2]

In future when I have a bad day I'll look at back at this thread and think "Things could be worse" lol

What a nightmare...

 

[jedisparks]

You'll live to fight another day mate. Draw a line under it and crack on ?@#% happens sometimes!

 

[RyanCheetham]

I know it gets worse, our old apprentice drilled into the main incomer, massive bang, sds bit glowing orange and the cable sheaf was on fire and downstairs all smokey. Had to blow it out and call the supplier, 500 pound later all was fixed.
