Rads & Over Zealous Drilling

Oh it was all going so well.  The plasterer had finished, the carpenter was putting in doors and skirting boards, careful with that drill there carpenter, and the plumbers were finishing up the bathroom, having installed the great new vertical radiators that will be real space savers.  No more rads behind the sofa.

But then ... where's that water coming from?  Yes through the ceiling there!  "But I flushed 20 times last week and there was no problem" pleads the plumber.  Investigation reveals that flushing is no substitute from keeping an eye on carpenters wielding power

tools, here used artistically to drill straight into the soil pipe in several places!  Lucky we found that as I was about to try the facilities for real!  So here are the Polish plumbers taking the wall apart to repair the damage!

One day, one day ... it will all be over, so my psychiatrist assures me ...
oh look it's fixed; now put the wall back can you?
