Yes... plumbing! No cycling today as it's been legging it down outside so I decided to get started on re-plumbing the family bathroom, so as to remove the old bidet, move the WC and basin and re-plumb the rad into the heating circuit insted of the hot water circuit.
The floor is up, the pipework exposed and there's nothing more satisfying than removing the old bits and setting it all up new, planning, measuring, cutting, soldering, glueing the waste pipes together and getting everything laid out just perfect then standing back with a cup of tea and admiring the result. I'd never survive as a professional because I take too long over everything. But at least I know it's been done properly - for example the basin and shower waste now runs downhill into the soil stack rather than UPHILL, which was how the bloke who built the house did it. Consequently we had a 6' length of waste pipe, which was half blocked with hairs and scum.... yuk! It stank.
What's your secret little pleasure on a rainy day?
