Re: outdoor tap
 

I bought mine over 18 months ago and i have a fella who is more than capable of fitting it! his excuse was that he didnt have the right drill bit (the big massive one to go through the wall) so i bought him one now his excuse is that he dont have the smaller one "because you cant just drill a hole you know!" you need a guide hole and blagh blagh blagh like i care just fit the flippin tap! lol

So its no good me lending you my fella to fit it! in fact he would probably have yours done in half an hour its just stuff i need doing that he can seem to do my half a job bob!.

Re: outdoor tap
 

I'm sure there are lots of gentlemen on here who would fit your tap for you, I would volnteer in a flash(:rolleyes::D) but the old pump ain't working that well at the moment :D:(

Re: outdoor tap
 

I'd offer flashy but i couldnt even put a shelf up, had to get someone round to do that for me lol

Re: outdoor tap

Best £15 I ever invested:cool:

Re: outdoor tap
 

thats all good and well Reece cant wash cars from water butt water can he? lol

Re: outdoor tap
 

If you are a tenant you might need permission before having one put in, because it needs a hole through the wall.

Re: outdoor tap
 

Or as I did, fit it inside as a convienient connection point and run the hosepipe out the back door on the days I want to use it.

Re: outdoor tap
 

Same here, one of those fittings that self tap in to the pipe and a push fit connector on.

Re: outdoor tap
 

yeah thats what i have Dave, one problem with the back door thing though, i lost mi keys for it years ago :o so now i cant open it :o

Re: outdoor tap
 

I fitted my own tap - probably like the one you have bought and it was a nightmare to get through lovely nori brick...as someone already said you need more than 1 drill bit to start off ..small hole - then bigger etc...my poor drill was practically smoking by the time I got through !!
and if it wasnt for the fact I am building a pergola swing for the baby boy I would do it for you...not much help to you I know - but maybe your as well as phoning an odd job man in the paper to do it..save a lot of faffing about..

Re: outdoor tap
 

ah thats true, thanx for that GG

Re: outdoor tap
 

never mind the tap get that back door sorted out first. What if you have a fire near the front door?

Re: outdoor tap
 

yep, I'm sure some burly bloke will be happy to break it down for you. Angle grinder/Stihl saw anyone? :D

Re: outdoor tap
 

Entwisi :eek::eek::eek: i dont want anyone to break my backdoor down for me ta very much :eek::eek::eek:

Re: outdoor tap
 

Can you not get lock changed flashy?

Re: outdoor tap
 

i could Em, but it will cost me £80

Re: outdoor tap
 

Is it UPVC door (or whatever they are lol) Have you rung round for that?

Re: outdoor tap
 

yeah its upvc type thingy lol havent rung around but thats what twin valley have quoted me, it was my bro who lost all the keys, everytime i gave him one he lost it, hey not to worry

Re: outdoor tap
 

make him pay for new lock then see if he loses keys again you need back door to open in case of fire

Re: outdoor tap
 

Whe i lost my keys i got a friend to fit new lock (although did have a key so it was easy for him to do) the new lock cost me £20 but i dont know if that is what it cost them or they put a bit more on. I know theyve to drill the barrel to get it out if there is no key which might be why it cost but I would ring round and get it sorted at some point, you never know when your gonna need to use it lol

Re: outdoor tap
 

your joking right? he owes me £100 for some things he got out of my catalogue, i'm having to pay it all back because stupid me didnt get him to sign anything, he's an arse and i dont like him

Re: outdoor tap
 

I will do it for you it will only take about half an hour if you send me a message I will give you my number so we can sort it out.:D

Re: outdoor tap
 

ah excellent, that'd be great :D cheers


oh by the way, i dont have the right tools for the job

Re: outdoor tap
 

Hi glasgow guy

There is an easy way to drill through Nori brick, I first of all regrind masonry drills so that they are like drills for steel, then switch the hammer action OFF, thats what buggers masonry drills up. I reground all mine, from the smallest at 5mm to the biggest at 22 mm which is near 3 ft long and never had any more problems, just occasinal regrinding, before the drill bit gets hot, a lot of people ruin their electric drill with blunt drill bits.

Hey, youve got someone to fit your tap, how come I could never find anyone to hang some wallpaper for me (only wanted 1 wall doing but I dont like ladders) Its just not fair lol
