    Good repair and should be temporary at best. They should replace with preinsulated underground pipe and get it done correctly. At the end of the day, you can only do what is asked for.

    hi tom had a job with something similiar last year the lesson here is never let the customer buy or order the materials as they are not on a price or hourly rate looks good in the suppliers show room no pipework ( ect) a job that should have taken best part of a day took 3& half weeks from suppliers to finish! keep up the good work and the vids ... oh and dump the suppliers . from the other comments i've read

    Top job again Tom.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. A note about how good Denso tape can be. I wrapped a temporary underground 0.2 square inch copper cable joint up on a night call out after a fault earlier in the day.put about ten layers on and warmed it with a gas torch and smoothed it down. Long story short, it was forgotten about! About ten years later someone dug it out whilst overlaying the old main. Still as good as the day it went in. 😂

    Always find it nerve racking drilling new holes for the taps in a new bath. Sometimes better with holes already there but in a way it's better to drill your own holes so you can make the hole just a couple miller bigger than the 3/4 thread. Better that way than pre drilled holes that are 100 times bigger than the thread going through them
