Mal’s Maintenance & Plumbing

🚨Just an awareness post.🚨
I’ve seen atleast 10 posts about stolen cars 🚘 over the last week.
In particular Land Rover ……..range rovers and a discovery.

If you own one, it’s worth ensuring your keys are safe at night, you have a steering wheel lock , tracker or any other means of keeping it safe. 🔐

Despite the price tag they are one of the easier cars to steal and are targeted for this reason then sold on for quick cash😬

This is in no way meant as a panic post but one to be aware of.
It’s likely it’s the same person/persons doing it as it’s been across Gwent and Cardiff.
Stay safe.

Helped this Customer today who’d had a TV bracket pull out of the wall so I used a spade bit and ensured I used some strong fixings (plasterboard specific - bull fixings) and remounted the bracket and TV 📺✅👍🏻

A little something different for this one.

To some it’s just a pipe slice……..to me it’s :-

The first one I ever bought ✅

The first one I showed my dad before he died 💙

It’s sustained my family / children and partner with work when I needed it 💪🏻

It’s a reminder of all the jobs I did and the times I would sit and tell my dad about them with a coffee ☕️

It was a plumbing tool that allowed me to better myself and my understanding by allowing me to work alongside my study 📚

But above all else it’s a reminder that whilst things don’t last forever, memories last as long as you’re here………..make the most of everyday and your loved ones 🙏
