The Shower Man

So electric showers have micro switches to activate the heating elements and make the hot water needed
Pull cords and wall switches to isolate the shower when not in use
Should all be working properly and should be switched off
If a microswitch fails in the on position here is what happens
The unit boils on by itself and creates incredible temperature as their is no water flowing because no one actually turned it on
It just started boiling by itself.
You can clearly see the scorch damage and thankfully the thermal cut out locked out to prevent a potential fire 🔥
See the warped handset where the water temperature was so high it disfigured the round threads to oval.
Another lucky customer who had a close call
Please always ensure your shower is isolated and never allow young children to shower unattended
My pet hate of stop start button on shower heads causes scalding conditions also

Customers complained that water was scalding and child almost burned
Thanks be to goodness the safety locked out
At 76 degrees
This hose bore is so small water can’t get away fast enough
Headset has a solid rubber washer almost
And a start stop button to complete the scalding certainty

Soooo lucky no one in hospital

When the summer ? Weather has been so poor that grass growing conditions were so cold that grazed fields did not recover in time with new grass.
And all the restrictions now placed on farmers means you can’t go out and buy fertilizer to boost the growth again

Means that on the first of august you are having to feed hay in the field to support the animals while hopefully the grass comes back with the recent few good days

It’s depressing for mainstream farmers who hold big stock numbers to support the economy with milk and beef products
Bad handling!!!!

Too funny from Chelsea
And absolutely spot on

So you get keys to the apartment and you check the shower and needs replaced.
You leave your tools go out to van and return to be met with a growling dog
Who plans to take ownership of your tools
And as his boss ( tenant ) isn’t present , the whole appartment as it’s his territory and I’m the stranger.
So we had to wait 40 minutes for tenants to return as shaping into a Berlioz mountain dog would not be my wisest plan.
It’s not going to be a stand off that would be easily won
So you have time for an enforced cup of tea as you can’t grab your tools and move on.

Every day brings new challenges 😂

There’s a role model and a terrific player

Rodri is the only star that Man City wants young players to emulate, and this is what the young players will recognise:

➖ Receive salary of £220,000/week
➖ Do not use social networks
➖ No "tattoo"
➖ Spends 25% of his salary each month for charity
➖ Outside of playing football, he stay at home to study and cook
➖ Completed economics major at Universidad de Castellon University
➖ Don't buy a luxury car, buy a used Vauxhall Corsa from an old man

A simple guy 💙

Some people do endurance running , cycle riding etc.
Spare a thought for Annette has managed to endure me for 40 years today!
Happy anniversary my love

As she always says it’s because he’s always away at work or farm or whatever charities he works with, that was a huge factor in hanging in there

Best of luck to Morgan and all the thousands of students starting their leaving certs today and the next few weeks
Hopefully you all get what you deserve after 6 years of deele college

Always a powerful experience

Special Mass with Anointing of the Sick and Elderly on the Wednesday morning of our Parish Mission.

Bring your children along for a memorable experience

This Sunday, as part of our Parish Mission, we will hold a Corpus Christi Procession from All Saints Church through the village of Newtown. The Procession begins at the church at 2.30pm. All are welcome to come and publicly honour the Lord Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Any First Communion Child from any parish is encouraged to take their place with the First Communion Children of our Parish at the head of the procession - as is traditional.

Bring your car for a blessing

How do we begin to express our gratitude to the community who rallied around our family at this sad time .
To the masses who flocked to our home to pay their respects to the 5 sons and 5 daughters.
And sons and daughters in law
And countless grandchildren and great children .nieces and nephews.
It was constant support
For 3 days
The amount of people who arrived carrying boxes of food for donation to the kitchen was staggering.
The grandchildren and great grandchildren made sure that every single person got tea and scone or sandwiches as mammy always offered.

The neighbours who rallied around
The fantastic committe in the community hall
Who served up the tea and soup and sandwiches to the 150 /200 or so people who came back after the funeral .

To father Kemmy our parish priest
His attendance to mammy day or night
Several times some days
Gave her the ability to say I’m churched and ready for off, hopefully they come for me soon .

The care and attention to details from Barney (Seamus) Odonnell undertakers was outstanding
Every single detail was taken care of to the small bottles of water and packets of tissues in the front of the family’s seats
Unbelievable attention to detail .

So from all of us to all of you
A MASSIVE THANK YOU

Due to the passing of my dear mother Mary Gillespie a 91 years young inspirational lady
We at the showerman will have reduced service Wednesday and Thursday
And closed on Friday as a mark of respect to such a wonderful lady .
Live life every day and embrace each new day/ chapter/challenge.
Because that’s exactly what she did , and taught us to do .
RIP Mammy you big star 🌟

On a roll of bad workmanship
These flexible hoses are designed for a maximum bend of approximately 30 degrees give or take
This was supposed to be a warranty call that we had to walk away from until the installer returns and fits it properly.
Only one out of four acceptable

Oh so true

Clever dog

Well it’s rant time again I’m afraid .
Basic plumbing is that in a cylinder heating water the hot water needs to vent and depressurise the cylinder when it expands when heating.
This blows up the expansion pipe or vent pipe up to your cold water storage tank in your attic.
This must have a rise all the time to work effectively.
So imagine my shock when I came across this installation where the expansion vent pipe was cut and diverted down into a pump
Which is plastic, and to cap it all a restrictive non return valve is fitted to compound the pressure back up.
This is now an unvented copper cylinder which was not designed to take this pressure .
Not sure if the cylinder or pump will burst first .!!!!
When this happens the insurance company will thoroughly inspect the situation and will certainly be deemed as a negligent installation and not covered.
The poor householder had got someone to try and boost the hot water flow through their taps .
Great idea if it was done properly.!!!
Also didn’t check that he was now pumping pressure into a low pressure inlet power shower which is also in danger of bursting.

So when you need electrical work or plumbing work done please employ a registered and trained competent tradesmen to avoid potential problems.
Registered tradesmen cost more as they are registered insured and trained have fees to pay and taxes that keep this economy functioning.

Don’t forget a good job is never cheap
And a cheap job is never good

So funny and true 😜
