I own a house. I work and I hire people if I can’t fix something myself. So far I’ve only had to do that once in 4 years. Owning a house is not a job. Landlord literally has “LORD” in the name… kinda hard to defend, friend.
That’s the strangest argument I’ve heard in a while. Owning a house isn’t a job but maintaining one is. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing, HVAC are all jobs and if you don’t think so you must be one of these Republicans that think a person who gets their hands dirty doesn’t deserve a living wage.
A plumber or a sparky doesn’t just maintain one house, and if they’re just doing maintenance, probably work on hundreds of houses a year. Maintaining your own house takes a fraction of the time and effort of working a housing-related trade full time.
I challenge anyone to disconnect the water feed, remove the top part of the siphon, remove the likely rusted manky bolts holding the cistern, remove the bottom part of the siphon, clean the whole lot up where the foam ring has turned to mush, remove the old filler mechanism, replace it, plus the siphon, bolt the cistern back to the toilet, reconnect water supply, adjust fill height of both the siphon and the filler, then install the push button and test. Then clean up behind yourself
In ten minutes 😂
Bear in mind the guy you’re speaking to is a yank and their plumbing makes the fucking Roman bathhouses look modern lmao
Own a house then get back to me

Pay income tax rather than capital gains tax on your house.
Then get back to me.

I think you just agreed with each other a little bit.
I own a house, got a plumber for replace a cistern was like 30 mins of work, and I did that whilst working!
Your comment doesn’t make sense and is confusing. Are you AI?
Illiterate and a landlord? That does check out, you pathetic excuse for a parasitic infection somehow confused for a human.
Care to explain to me how anyone replaces a cistern in 30 minutes? Either this guy got his terminology mixed up or they got ripped off
How do you take longer? It’s a ten minute job with a journeyman and apprentice helper.
