Now isn't that weird but if I had got round to visiting you on time on Monday I would have just said A leak? Oh dear. However it's now Wednesday and will soon be Thursday. Guess what? We have a leak from one bathroom to the other. The water from a pipe under the bath is running well dripping down the light cord. Surely that is dangerous? I tell the farmer. I could get a shock I tell him. Am I safe in the shower? I ask him. Apparently he can mend it, he doesn't need a plumber. But WHEN?

How...How LOVELY having the mob all home for Easter! How special. As for bathrooms. Well, plumbing. We've had to have a new hot water service fitted. A week later our shower taps ceased... but couldn't be replaced, cos they were so old. So half the tiles on the bath/shower had to come off, to expose the plumbing to re-plumb for the new fitting. This is as Tom has a sore thumb still. So, no water proof board or tiles back in place. Just a piece of sheeting taped around with masking type tape. Oh, I HEAR you with the plumbing thing!!!!!!Lizzy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635794099699316625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-31337599029312873272017-04-04T10:59:01.302+01:002017-04-04T10:59:01.302+01:00You pull off a plumbing story with ease...

Robbie is pretty handy around the house, so when we returned from a road trip last year and the toilet would not flush at all he spent the evening replacing all the inner parts. Not the best first night home, but it was soon all fixed and working properly.<br /><br />The family street sign is such a wonderful gift!!
