Fortunately one of my PITA meetings for today has been cancelled, so that only leaves 4.5 hours of scheduled pointlessness for the day.

Morning all.

If you can reach it you might be able to slap a bit of chemical metal over the hole as a temporary fix. You'd have to depressurise the central heating first though. Worked a treat on the copper pipe to the clutch on my old Triumph when it wore through from rubbing against the bulkhead.

Pressurise it?

It's like using a garden hose to fill the underfloor space?

[barrydidit]

Indeed.

The pipes leading to the radiator in my hall, one of which is pissing water into the floor cavity, are unsleeved.

In fact the one of them that's forced against the brickwork coz the oik couldn't be arsed to drill a hole through the joist is the one that's leaking.

Mind you, it took about 35 years and a replacement combi for the leak to happen.

Oh Zeity boy, the pipes, the pipes are leaking
From joist to joist, and down the cavity
The pressure's gone, and all the water's dripping
It's you, it's you must go and buy some sleeves.

[zeitghost]

Aye.

I think the replacement 18" of pipe will pass through the joist rather than under it.

Morning

[zeitghost]

I'm sat here listening to the 2nd year esteemed customer feckwhits holding forth in the lab.

It's funny how the ones without sufficient brain cells to rub together manage to make the most noise.

I've just given out the stuff I would have taught about PICs and PIC programming back in the days before semesterisation raised its stupid head.

I don't suppose I'll be running that again before I retire.
