She still went on to do some brick laying and plumb in a sink while there. |

I taught our daughter to solder (safely) when she was about 6 (much to her Mums dismay / disbelief when daughter told her when she came in) and she has carried on and made projects since then. We still use daily the 'Kitchen Timer' she made years ago. ;-) http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/velleman-k...lder-kit-n05aa She recently treated herself to a pretty professional pyrography kit so I wonder if her junior soldering took her that way? She still went on to do some brick laying and plumb in a sink while there. That was handy. ;-) Mine (now 25) asked me recently if I could show her how to clear all the pipework from the bath and hand basin. Someone needs to know how to do it when I'm gone and it's not my hair blocking it up. ;-( It should be funny because whilst she seems able to shovel a flattened animal off the public highway, she gags at the content of a well used drain. ;-) Cheers, T i m |

Nope, not that either, it will probably be a strip down of all the plumbing from the trap back as far as necessary (all removable plastic) and to clean it out properly. ;-) It should be funny because whilst she seems able to shovel a flattened animal off the public highway, she gags at the content of a well used drain. ;-) She knows what she has put down there!

Mate of mine, a plumber, used to tip a winchester of conc nitric down any drain that was having a problem and swore that it always worked fine. Not that easy to get for the average consumer and very dangerous to use like that too. And that was in the days before plastic plumbing.

Quite, so nothing like having the pipes out and in the sink and washed out properly. ;-) The longest pipe run goes under the corner bath and terminates in an access point that has a removable lid for cleaning / rodding etc. I fitted that directly under the corner seat of the bath so that if I had to at any time I could cut a hole in the seat and fit an watertight access hatch etc. Cheers, T i m |
