Rate my soldering

[PaulV]

Hello, what do you think about the quality of this soldering in a log cabin?





Mine, as in I own it, having paid a professional to do it.


Thanks

At worst it needed a wipe.

Close the doors and move on.

There are no doors, this will be visible.

The chippy needs a revisit as well.

Same chap - for the hole on the top.
Some of the boarding is mine, I can live with that as it will be covered up

I took the panelling off to see what lay beneath. The panelling and framework is mine, I admit it is not beautiful woodwork but it is functional. The slotted brackets are there to cope with the growth/shrinkage of the beams.

The plumbing was done in two stages, the first being from the stop cock (which was originally too low and fouled the floor boards) around to the shower, and the new bit added today for the LPG boiler.

I do like the piece of cut pipe used to space the one pipe off from the wall in the 3rd picture.








The shower tray (1200x800) has been bedded on expanding foam. Not sure how that will last.

All in all, I am not very happy with the quality of the work.

On to what sort of floor? In any case, that's almost certainly not going to last at all, but if it's on to a timber floor, that's even more ridiculous.

That alone would be enough for me to deem them incompetent and kick them off the job.

What has he done for the walls around the shower?

Tray is set onto the floor beams on some plywood. Floor boards have been cut around it.

I am doing wet wall shower panels, they are going to be stuck to 6mm ply fixed to the batten framework. I have tanked the ply and will be using bottom U trims with some adhesive / sealant to keep the water in place.

There is another story with the battens.

We sent the company an email stating the issues that we have, they are sending around a boss next week.

Hopefully things can be resolved sensibly.
