My old lecturer used to say :- the difference between amatures & tradesmen is that tradesmen know how to hide their mistakes !!! LOL 😂
That doctor inspection story absolutely killed me!
This is the closest I think I will get at 43 years old to social media addiction. As always James, your content is amazing and the delivery/production, genius. I learn so much watching you work. Never stop! 👌🏼
Absolutely brilliant. Cheered me up. Love the doctor story…😂😂
Hi, Mira here. Your warranty is now invalid. 😊
Wow just like the majority of plumbers but what i really like , is your tenacity to get the work complete. Could be the balls up or out vid . Entertaining none the less👍👏👏
This video and the last video are two of the best I've seen you post. Truly entertaining and great information. You're such a great TH-cam watch, I really look forward to your content. Best wishes
Thanks man!
Had to do exactly this to convert a gravity shower through wall to pumped exposed rail. New control box was mounted to a LAP stainless steel 2 gang cover plate. Looks like a deliberate design feature :smug:
Not even a plumber and not even thinking of doing any plumbing but you got my attention and and ive even subscribed.
Loving the content mate 👍
Had the same idea on a similar job but we needed a circular chrome plate…300mm diameter! Worked just the same as yours did. Nice!👊🏼👍🏼
I agree a round backing plate would have been better.
Good advice on the balls! Although my doctor tried to treat it with antibiotics…. Needless to say I was under the knife 4 weeks later and some heavy duty chemo. I have been clear for 6 years
Nice ❤ 🎉
Glad to see you sorted that out nicely with the cover piece. Good on you too for agreeing to be a demonstration guinea-pig for the medical students from 14:24 on... they have probably given up their medical careers now
I love these vids, your so down to earth. Your type of tradesman I’d like in my home. The testicular cancer check was funny, think Thora Hird next time lol. Pleased your all clear! My experience with my prostrate cancer Diagnoses, My nurse was 9/10 talking about it all it was really weird. she got me through the operation could thank her enough!
Brilliant video from start to finish. Fair play to you for posting it. Well done mukka
Good on you for getting checked!
I had myself checked last January. I was luckily okay too :)
Love the video, Great, save with the wall plate! One thing I’d like to know though, why is it plumbers always fit the controls to the far side of the bath or cubicle, so you always get a wet arm when you switch it on? The cleaners at Premier Inn Love it, They always position the shower nozzle so you get it straight in your face 😢
Fantastic recovery, 👏🏻
James, you are absolutely hilarious, love the videos and the ideas I've gotten where ill be changing bathroom eventually and want some of these gadgets
good rescue, one question why did you put the control knob in the wet zone, aren't you better off putting in a location where you won't get that initial splash of cold when you reach in to the controller. I've installed a couple of these are put the controller opposite end of the 'wet zone'
Your story had me crying with laughter 😂 your channel is awesome!
Genius fix James
Hey bro you do great work I can do basic plumbing it's nice to see a whole job done keep up the good work
great job and recovery, looks factory
Top guy! Me and partner have just bought a 60’s bungalow and I will be installing a new bathroom as well as a new kitchen. This has given me massive confidence to go ahead with it. The videos are all so knowledgeable but entertaining at the same time 😂 Keep it up 💪
Backplate was a genius
Well done James...... and the plumbing job worked out fantastic too😏😂
Brill ! It looks better with the backplate !
A brilliant all round video James! 😊
I don't know if you mentioned it, but did you put the control wire in a duct?!!! 🤣 Seriously, good on you for getting the bits checked! Blokes are terrible with this sort of thing. Glad all is sorted!!
Now that's what you call getting your plumberparts checked! 😂
A very good Tuesday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset
You got out of that one 😂. Nice one mate. I don't know any companies near me that could supply a plate like that. I think I need to do some local research. 👍
Had a similar situation once many moons ago at a certain clinic. Very embarrassing 😅
Nice job.
My OCD keeps looking at that black line in the apex above the bath😢
Shirley the maker of the gravity shower also makes a model for unvented that shares everything except the box in the loft?
I didn't like your channel at first lol but your funny and do a good job ever time..,👍👍
I still don’t like it! I don’t know why I’m subscribed really! 😂
What was the reason for screwing more holes in the tiles when the new backplate wasn’t screwed to the tiles??
Doesn't that handset break water regs though,? Genuine question, not trying to be a git. Love the channel
Is the metal plate stainless?
13:19 why are there hanging those two big beam from roof? Support i would understand but hanging.
I round the corners on the plate
Nice fix mate .
Looks good but I would have rounded the corners of the plate
At 10:35 Podcast about just stuff - I'd watch it.😊 You could call it, "James The Plumber comments on .... or James The Plumber vents about .... 😉🤯 At 15:25 The examination - "Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day .... Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day ...." 😂😂
I’m an electrician watching these videos 😃 think I’ll swap trade. I’m only 55 it’s not too late 😂 Great vids 👍
Would prv's have been an option to make it a low pressure system?????
Did you ask the Dr's to "hold tight" lmfao
Wireless controller! Sorted...
What's the name of the paste you use on pipe joints? Thanks
I'm not a pro but never had a solder joint leak. Not enough heat?
Exelent steel idea👍👍👍👍
Nice job buddy. Neat and tidy. Its happen to me .thank the Lord for Copex 😀👊👍
props for sharing your balls story.
no cutting oil ~ ouch
OMG it *DOES* sound like the London underground!! :D
I thought you said in the previous vid that the unit you bought was identical to your other one? Are they no longer made?
What good is having a back up plan if you don't test it!
Is that a rickshaw in the back of your garage? Which year/leg did you do?
Hi, are digital showers okay to use in hard water areas? Someone told me they are more susceptible to limescale clogging than normal mixer showers. Thankyou.
"Leave your dignity at the door and step this way sir.............." 🤣
My wife Jackie is listening to you while iI watch this....and said you talk a load of old rubbish.....Hahaha🤣👍👍
I hope you don’t weld with bare arms?
I can top you ball story, my doctors were my mates mum and dad 😅 can't remember who groped what though but have been in same situation with student doctor that was filming for uni...but wasn't the old family jewels that time 😂 bet woman are more cool about visiting for these things haha
Just out of curiosity, I saw you sealing the 4 screw holes behind the new faceplate but did you seal the back of the faceplate to stop any water getting in 🤔
Yea and yes.
I knew you would 😉
What was the 4 screw holes drilled again for? When the faceplate wasn’t screwed to the wall after? Looks glued to the tiles?
Was expecting you to jump into the shower in your swimmers lol
was the other shower controller in the loft a high pressure unit.....?
don't worry got the answer....they don't make it no more!
you da man
Brilliant...
Separate podcast? It thought this was already a non-plumbing podcast :D
Cool and all but shouldn't he do something about sharp edges and corners of the plate he bought? And he put silicone around the hole in the wall... ok, but he didn't put anything around the edges? So original part has gasket (100%) of some sort so blob of silicone around the hole is not even really necessary but now there is nothing around the edges so there will be water constantly behind that plate. Humid, warm, dark place...
That was a good laugh 😂
Would it not have been easier to just replace the 2 tiles that had screw holes drilled in them?
Not in this case - much much harder to do that.
There’s no way you pulled that cable down without throwing a few c bombs 😂
Can the next video be all your profane outtakes?
Yeah definitely do a podcast talking waffle that would be funny lol
It's about time🤭😏😏🤣
your welding skills (or lack off) are diabolicle, chicken chit welds..., you seem to know a bit about plumbing though 😂🤣
Same thing happened when I went to the doctor about a lump on one of my balls. But it was a male trainee doctor and he wasn't nearly as gentle as the doctor.😢
You know you can get wireless ones !!!😆😆😆😆
Ducted the cable, its like you knew you was going to screw it up.
Good tip for the wall plate.
Can't believe you bodged it at the end, fitting the control box where you did.
You know that youre gonna knock the outlet pipe one day...😢
What's going on? Back in the day you would have got in the shower to test it in your funky shorts!!!! WHAT'S CHANGED. 😂
did she "HOLD TIGHT!"
Never understand why the control is the other side of the shower. So you get an armfull of cold water when you turn it on.
I’m just made of stronger stuff! 😂😂
16:00 Nicely done on the promotion of testicular cancer. Feck the embarrassment and get them checked. Chubb 😂
2:10 If you haven't clicked Subscribe yet, sling your hook, I don't want you to watch any more! 😂
👍🏻👏
Ive had that exmination before, male doctor, far too much eye contact from him.
don't think pipe xDD
panhead panset panhead panset panhd-ow biff my tonggf
Bit of everything in this one, plumbing, life advice, what to do when female junior doctors want to spread you like a dead bat 👀
Meh, replace tile.
What's the name of the paste you use on pipe joints? Thanks
