Plumbing

23 - 25 June 2014

Far to busy to remember to take photos until the sink was fitted - which was Wednesday.  Before that we plasterboarded and put in worktop supports around the fridge and cooker areas.  But Weds was the moment of truth - the plumbing!

 Here's the ready-at-last sink worktop, with three coats of heavy duty two-pack varnish.  The sink has been fitted and laboriously sealed and fixed in position.

 10 am - the plumbing paraphernalia  - luckily it's Dave's problem, not mine!

1.30 pm - hours of doing and undoing and redoing and swearing at poor quality plumbing equipment and a trip out for more pipe bends - but here it is, the water is running out the tap and draining down the drain - so wonderful!  Ran out of paint on the window and bought some more for the cupboard underneath, but went for an aqua blue this time, it all looks very sorbet coloured in these photos. 

 5pm and the first batch of washing up has been done - wonder how long the honeymoon will last?

  1. You've had the whole thing broken down like a model kit. That is pretty wicked. It should probably be just a matter of assembling the and then letting the rest make something out of it and weave it into the fairly fragile tapestry of the pipes and drains. Kudos!
