Hmmm. Bit more than repairs though its the damage caused.... Unless he can build me a sofa, TV, etc I think hes a bit out of his league.

Yeh np - as in this case it seems.

Learned my lesson there

Yep plumber I called out said no washers. He also mentioned the filters I think which he said were broken because he'd tightened it up so much. I'm beginning to realize that his plumbing skills are somewhat lacking.

Yes that's correct. Of course, I'm not a plumber either so I'm paying him to know what hes doing and safely replace the shower. Which he didn't. Hes fed me some crap. Like I said he came back when it leaked a little and said it was sorted. All he'd done is tighten it massively. As you can see...

No idea - I'm not a plumber. All I know is the shower mixer is attached to the end of the pipes. Like I said no idea myself but its where you screw the mixer unit onto the end of the pipe? It leaked a little and, apparently, all he did was massively tighten it and completely knacker the thread...

Got builder in (hes done a few things for us before) to tile our ensuite shower. So he removed the existing bar mixer showed, tiled it then replaced it. Next day there was a leak. Called him back. He had a look and said sorted now. We were out that night came home to water gushing out of the...

Above the door - part of the door frame.

Probably too difficult to cut. Its only about 1cm out to be honest. One idea was to remove the surround above the door? Good idea or bad idea?

In the end managed to get a new key cut from the bit left..... Stronger key than before. Using pliars - took some time - but managed to get lock open. In the bin it goes now

Well managed to get the broken off piece out at least. Even managed to get a new cut from this. Alas, no joy. Looks like its seized or something. Assuming cutting off is no go, I can't drill above or below the lock. Would drilling into the actual keyhole itself and slowly using larger drill...

Local locksmith quoted me £110+VAT -hmm bit much that

Hmmm. OK. Not sure how do to but I guess I just drill into where the key goes?

Drill out the lock no good?

Trouble is I've still got no key to unlock it then

You the type, bright yellow, fit over the towball.... Not been used for a while so think its seized but key has snapped off in the lock now.... Any suggestions? Im assuming its easier (if at all possible) to drill out the lock rather than cut the actual bars? After all if it was that easy...

right to in and out of everyone until the end - in serial?

ah outdoor 3 way junction box? So could I put plug on one end, run to junction box then 3 lenghts to each light? Might be a bit messy...... I guess ok to run from one outdoor socket. (Can't remember exactly but this was done by an electrician for the purpose of running the hot tub so I guess...

Dear wife has bought 3 mains powered garden lights. Got an outdoor socket (but not 3). Whats the best way to do this? Can it be done in serial somewhow? Got outdoor cable so thats not a problem. The lights look like 2x35w bulbs in each.

Yeh I suppose it has worked so far. Not so sure about the back garden - the patio does flood. Dear wifes bright idea this is because one of the neighbours has done it.
