Quiet one tonight.
Holiday shopping with Mrs PL Sat afternoon then few beers with a mate.
Sunday: Maybe do a roast. Have to see how bad the hangover is.
Ah ! You are only doing the bog ! That went in without a hitch. It's a wooden suspended floor so juggling the pipework under the floor was easy enough.
It's just the sink that's giving me problems, it's the placcie waste connection to the trap that is a pain when doing solvent weld as you need to get it right first go once you get the airfix glue out !
Yup, sink went in fine a couple of weeks ago. Got one with a waste trap that fits directly to the sink, just one pipe from there to the outflow pipe, nice and easy
Concrete floor here, and the old one left a hole down to the DPM when it came out cos the fixings had rusted fast into the concrete. Had to patch it up and wait for it to dry before putting the new one in.
All copper here apart from the fitting on the cistern which is a plastic screw thread fitting. The fun bit is going to be cutting and bending the pipework to fit since the cistern fittings are on the opposite side to the old one.

Saturday: taking DS2 to a tennis lesson, then taking DS1 to a games day at the local Games Workshop. Sunday: hoping to get out somewhere with all the kids, possibly hillwalking.
Wouldn't mind trying to get to see Watchmen at some point as well.
I forgot that job ! I chipped the pedestal last week while rushing to get it done in my last day of benchdom, a new one is awaiting me when I get home today. I'm using solvent weld ( I'd stick with push fit ) and compression/end feed for the copper ( I'd stick with push fit ). My plumber mate told me it made sense but I think he was talking bollards !
