Quick ways to learn about the new(ish) CH
Hah, so I walk through the kitchen door tonight to find a very large lake -
or as it's know, the contents of all the rads. Seems like a badly made joint has given up after 18 months and a CH service (where the pressure was upped) and spat everything out onto the kitchen floor. Lots of cursing later and all the water is gone and apparently little damage done - though at 7.30pm it's a sod to find: a) olives b) non-own-brand CH inhibitor c) tools SWMBO claims we have lost/never had d) a torch e) enough towels to clear up the flooding Seems like it's all ship-shape now, but I haven't fully re-prressurised or added the inhibitor tonight as a) CBA and b) CBA BTW - what is the chemical formulation (pprox) of X400 Inhibitor? It's made my skin damn dry cleaning up all that water!! FWIW - B&Q are crap - Hombase rock at 7.50pm when you need pipe clips, inhibitor and olives(and a large adjustable...) Cheers Dan. |

Last thing you want when you get in from work. Got a call from my daughter at 6:30pm last night - leaking pipe on washing machine. I'm lucky to have all the bits on the van! -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Yeah - the worst thing was - SWMBO has gone off in the car for 4 days leaving me with a list of things to do (which is nice) - but this one event has totally buggered that list! Cheers Dna. |
