🦸🏻‍♂️Fantastic find/job Gavin and Mitch 👍🏻 Flaming bodge-a-job cowboy plumbers 🙄🤠 I though the house owners had two loos (dunnies) in the one room, then when you moved, I saw it was the shower cubicle🤭 😂🤣😂 Loving the intro shots "Stunning 🥰" here in the UK It's ☃️ weather 🥶 Have a wonderful weekend Gavin and family ❤

[ainerush]

Shocking😮. Great work as always gavin❤

[WarrenLindsay-no]

It is very difficult to find a decent plumber and that is unfortunate. Gavin you are one of a hand full that are honest.

[williamkennison]

Gavin, the summer view there gives a lot of comfort as we're sitting up here freezing.

[NeilFoord]

The debut, I think, of your long glove, .... You're a good man Gavin.
Im wondering if Mrs P has any plans to do another one of her Penetrator "Outtake" videos?
You should keep the outtakes, because they're wonderful to see.

[earlydaysseaangling]

That plumbing is crazy well done gavin for getting to the bottom of the problem

[williamlloyd]

My neighbor is a plumber and he's a great guy.
PS - definitely an unpermitted home remodel job built without licensed trades.

[gavanburge]

Some poor buggers got a few days work on the jackhammer to rectify all that. I’ve seen some really shitty work in my time and that one is up there with them.

[ralphfryer]

Good tradies do good work as its their livelihood, but looking at that reno, it smells of handyman who's watched too many DIYers videos. This is what you get and deserve when you're trying to save a few bucks. Illegal shoddy work!! Such works will void your insurance and in the long run cost you more in repairs!! If that work has been done by a plumber, then they should be reported to the QBCC. Once again good job Gav.

[plumbob]

Everyone is saying "cowboy plumber". That bathroom has builder/ handyman all over it. The reline part is a bit of a joke but. Good work mate. What a shitshow 😅

[nicolad]

You don’t have to be licensed/certified to be a plumber in the UK as far as I am aware. It shows.

[KeithCambs]

Is the intro clip of nice weather meant to make those of us in the UK jealous? 😉 It's currently -3°C here in Cambridgeshire.

[vaughanellis]

Seeing the state of the Pipework from the 'Reno' I have to wonder if the supposed 'plumber' turned up on a horse of a morning!!!
I'm NOT a plumber (Heavy/Marine Engineer), closest I've come dealing with pipework in the Heads on ships, is but I could do a better job than that just by following the relevant Regs.
