Owning your own home

ah that's right, the sportsing is on today. pop over for a snossage and a fight if you get bored / need a break.

gonna do a proper knees up later this month.

Ha, the one at my old work exploded, thank fuck I had the week off.

Will do!
Knees up sounds great

As long as you don't put anything other than shit piss and toilet paper into a saniflow they should be fine. It's worth using macerator cleaner too off Amazon. Pour it in. Flush so it goes into the box and leave a few hours then flush to pump out.

According to the fellow I just spoke to it could be limescale shitting the sensors up. Either way, we might get it sorted today, 100 clams later .

That's close to the top of the list of items I will pay someone else to sort out.

Looks like the macerator is in the eves storage part too. That'll be a nice job for someone, crawling around in an area 50cm wide rodding shit out of a small pipe.

Reminds me of a club I used to go to...

My worst experience of them is one backing up and then proceeding to fill up an eaves space for many days. Inevitably the lathe-and-plaster bulkhead gave up the fight and a shitpiss cocktail cascaded down the stairwell.

My husband was a cleaner at Newcastle General. One day, the industrial macerator in the gynae ward - the one that eats all the used bedpan liners - backed up and overflowed. The torrent of shit filled papier mache flooded the ward an inch deep and also dripped through into the gynae operating theater below.

Guess which lucky cleaner got to tackle that mess?

These things sound great I must have one

If you don't have sufficient fall for a normal waste pipe or if you want to put a toilet in a basement or too far from a soil stack they are useful. But they need to be used carefully.

In 45 degree temperatures.

macerator follow up: fixed and parts replaced. apparently these things don't like having kitty litter speckled lumps of cat shit or bleach being thrown at them.

that was a 170 quid lesson i won't forget in a hurry.

'Shoreditch warehouse living' for sells in E10 for £1.6milli

Great space, but was surprised how far out of town it was for that money.

That's what I thought. I've recently looked at a few similar properties in terms of size and style in SE1 for less money than that.

Aesop confirmed.

Worth every penny.

That's just behind my flat - literally, I could chuck a bucket of rocks and hit it - and the local kids quite often do just that. (So from my perspective those skylights aren't a sales point!) Good god.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great warehouse, but this bit of E10 is very unreconstructed even for E10. We don't even have a hipster coffee shop down this end.

Gorgeous industrial interiors ?

Go and live in a real industrial building.

needs moar Artex

yeah - all that faux distressed brick and wood work is gonna look shite in about 5 years.

it's the ragging of noughties.

It looks shite now.

They are proper industrial units though. They were used for (among other things) button manufacturing when built in the first half of the 1900s, and they've been abandoned for many years since.

On closer inspection, you're not wrong.

liberal application of a pint or ten of Hague blue would lift that fucker right up.

Lighthaus!

I pray nightly that I'll wake up and there might be something half decent going in at the Markhouse junction. Hopefully the flats behind there and further down LBR will create some more demand. I've lived there for about 5 years and all that's really happened is the local cafe closed - although it has been replaced by Crave which I rate highly.
