Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but :lol: :lol: Strangely enough, we managed to retain our senses of humour (just) throughout all of that! Without humour you'd weep, but I'm a persistent son of an unmarried mother so I just pressed on regardless. The original plumber for our renovations and extensions back 23 or so years ago was far worse, we had to move out for six weeks because he simply couldn't get his act together to finish the job, and we have regularly found cock-ups over the years, most involving unexpected leaks from nicked and/or burned plastic pipes, or water damage from slow leaks, cracked spouting etc and we had to have our mains pressure HWC completely replumbed as he had ballsed that up way beyond belief. The latest joyous find was just a few weeks back when we had a sewer blockage and found that instead of a Y joint from each side of the house (bathrooms on each side) to the main sewer line being easily accessible under a few hundred mm of soil, the lazy prlck had buried it inside the retaining wall line for our rear patio ( before it was filled in) so it ended up buried under about 2 metres of rubble and soil. There is no way we can get to it now so we are going to have to install an access point below the wall line for emergency use if we get a blockage. My experience of plumbers has been that I can do a better job myself, and leave the site cleaner when I'm finished. Cheers Billy 8-{) :angry |
