  • I’ve just got an email from Anglian water saying we have a water leak. It’s 18 litres an hour. I’ve done the turn off the stopcock and see if the meter stops, it doesn’t. I’ve turned off the stopcock before the meter and it does stop. So that means yes we have a fucking leak. I’ve dug down to find out what type of pipe it is, it’s 3/4” copper and it’s deep (regular spade on top of service for reference) Next I’ve got to find out where it goes into the house and cut and cap it. The kitchen is at the back meter is at the front and we have a concrete floor. It’s going to be under the slab isn’t it! I can feel it in my bones. If we can all send happy thoughts and vibes my way that would be wonderful. Thank you 🙏
    I’m too old for this shit.

  • best hole of the year that

    Edit: this wasn't supposed to be a metaphor or so facetious, it was an honest thought of many wouldn't know where to start or be able to make good methodical progress - (as it goes and it wouldn't normally be mentioned I did you a ~4k redecoration job for someone who had an underfloor heating leak, this was paid to her from insurance, she had studied law (although not practicing) but I thought it very natty to achieve and manage the amount of work that was carried out...). You're not alone

  • Thanks, I’ve got AW coming out to see if they can trace where the pipe work enters the house. They should be able to clip on the the copper and use a cat to find it. I hope. Will see what happens.
