working in a confined space

macafee2 · 25th August 2018, 20:05

don't know about you but I hate working in a confined space. I don't think its claustrophobia but the lack of space to move.
my sister has rung and has a problem with the hot water to her bath.
This tap is on the far side next to the wall.

If the guts of the tap can be removed and repaired magic, if it cant and tap needs to be removed.......nightmare.

Anyway, over the phone I seem to have been able to get what was a faulty shower working......... damn I'm good at this

Generally speaking, females have slimmer torsos, thinner arms, wrists and fingers, and are more able to twist and turn than us fat, sausage fingered blokes.
So by all means pop over to help your sister, but send her under the bath while you give her directions.
I'm sure she'd even make you a cuppa afterwards to say thank you

I’m a plumber and worst thing that ever happened to me was crawling under a floor years ago and reaching out and getting stuck between the joist and ground, had to be yanked back by the feet, never again that feeling of constriction against your chest
