Medium, fine and very fine abrasive wheels. Finish with felt mop and white polishing for stainless, all powered by the trusty angle grinder.

Thanks. Not sure about Oban next week, I've now that run 3 times since May. I'll keep an eye on the weather.

I’m going back to tanks and armour. Too much fiddle and glass on this.

I hate plumbing.  All the annoyances of home electrics like sorting out other people's bodges lying in an awkward position, but in addition you get to do it in a puddle of poo.

I actually enjoy a bit of plumbing, the only issue is having all the right bits to hand.

Usually involves a rushed visit to Screwfix mid job.

I hate plumbing with a passion.  Working in cramped conditions, a plethora of slightly incompatible pipe sizes and fitting styles, the inevitable unavailability of fittings with the right connections and angles on them, the need for weird tools that you never have and awful clean ups afterwards, especially if you did something wrong.  Plus there's jobbies involved.

 

I remember once testing a toilet flush valve that I'd just installed, forgetting that I'd disconnected the waste water pipe for access.  Shouting "No, no, stop, stop" at a flushing toilet achieves absolutely nothing 🥺

 

I much prefer house electrics, even when you take into account the slight risk of death.
