Operation: BATHROOM Update
Well, the professional British Gas man came out and told me that the banshee wailing from the shower was becasue the actual shower taps themselves were broken. Bit of a bugger i htought as I'd already attached all the pipe work for the old ones. But worry not he said, you can buy a fitting that will go onto your existing pipework. As this meant a £100 for a new shower it had to wait.
So after a month of banshee wailing showers the new shower mixer thingy arrived. Very nice looking to, got X taps on it instead of plastic knobbly bits the old one had, so I redid it and attached it. Looks smashing.
Guess what...
Yep, the shower still wails like a banshee, possibly even more so. I am almost out of ideas, the only thing I can think of is that the new installed bit of chrome pipe (about a metree long) that goes into the loft is causing it, I just can't see what else could be doing it :S
Plumber-man should be coming today to give quote about radiator, I will ask him, and if I ever catch up with the British Gas man he'd best watch out.
Stoopid professionals.
Today the toilet aspect of Operation: BATHROOM begins and the sink aspect is finished off. I have to finish off the waste connections for the sink (which looks lovely in its new position) and also replace the plastic cistern in the downstairs loo in the shed. The second part of this is so that we have emergency backup toilet if toilet replacement does not go exactly to plan.
Fun, fun, fun.
