NS&I eventually got their announcements into gear and told me I'd also won 4 x £25. No ''good news'' email this time though.

I check it on the app on my phone.

Pipework and wall feels dry . About to take up the floor !
We are rigged for silent running but I can't stop the chief engineer from using a load of swear words !

It strikes me that there have been a lot of updates for Linux Mint this week. Clearly other work has been put to one side.

Oh dear ! It's Das Boot time again !
I just noticed a damp patch on the ceiling ! Looks like a plumbing job to do !

We had a small brown dot appear on Monday night, boiler had a leak on a plastic condensation pipe, £23.65 for a replacement 440mm of convoluted plastic pipe!!!

@Gravity Aided, anywhere nearby?

No, quite far from me. Although I have quite a few relatives in Washington State. I am more affected by the New Madrid Fault.

Quoting myself to add my dad won 4 £25 prizes and 1 £500 on the premium bonds this month, that means he's already beaten bank interest rates for the year.

Friends of Ernie?

Plumbbusters, you don't want to cross a stream, you'll get wet

I'm playing battleships !
I've rolled up the flooring and lifted several floorboards . I can't seem to get access to where I want to . I tried using my mobile phone to look under the floor and it is b****y useless ! The damp area seems to be where the bathroom sink unit is fitted and I don't fancy removing that as it is all sealed to the wall along with the sink .
All of the pipework I can reach feels dry .

I’ve been out again, but I’m back now. Again.

Yeah, I did that too.

Mine went on the bend of the pipework to the sink (below the floor), when copper is bent the outside of the bend stretches and becomes thinner (pin hole in the tube), I was lucky as the pipework involved was above the set back front door and I managed to access it by taking the ceiling down (piece of plywood) that went back easily.

Good luck in tracing, I feel your pain.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Unlike earlier gadabouts, I haven't been out and I can't therefore be back.

Problem with water is it flows to the lowest point, I once took up a full oak floor only to find the leak in another room. Are you sure it's the pipes & not the waste that's leaking?
