Oh joy!



Just when you think things are back on track... derailment.

It appears all the underground pipework for the former bathroom / laundry (now bathroom / laundry / toilet) was well, not so very underground. And nothing is as per the plans that I paid for from the BCC (albeit handrawn and mostly illegible). Pipes that should be 600mm underground, are barely 150mm here. Thus when we got the excavator in, he's cracked a pipe further up, causing problems (but perhaps alerting us to the issue, inadvertently). But the pipes are also cracked further down. And one pipe just stops. Goes nowhere. Nada. Hmm...

So more plumbers, more money, more headaches, more fun! Oh the joy of renovating!!
