Why I hate DIY
"Huge" wrote in message ... The toilet in our en-suite has (had) a crack in it. No problem, I've got today off, I'll swap it out. The replacement arrived weeks ago. Ever had one of those jobs where *everything* goes wrong? Seized nuts, faulty service valves, leaks, stripped screw heads, more leaks, wrong tools and on and on and on. The leak at the service valve only stops when the connector to the cistern leaks, and vice versa. I can't tighten the service valve 'cos it's jammed hard against the skirting board - what pillock installed this? (Oops!). Everything cross-threads, nothing fits. Five hours later, and I've just finished (including a trip down the local shed to get a flexible tap connector.) I bloody hate plumbing. Sigh. -- Te hee hee. Not just me then? |
