WHO NEEDS A PLUMBER?*

Today I went under the house again to do a bit of 'do-it-yourself- repair on the leaking pipes.




I thought that if it did the trick then there was no point in telling The Old Girl what a bodgie job I did and the money I saved by doing it myself.





Once finished I crawled out again, scraped all the mud off and turned the toby back on.


Disaster. The water went everywhere and possibly worse than it was in the beginning.

I decided to ring a plumber.




















* Actually I do. I contacted one today who is coming around tomorrow to put an isolating valve on the pipes until he can spend some more time on it next week.

Forget the pipes, you took a selfie and got yourself in the picture!

I took my phone with me to get a pic of the pipes to send to the plumber.
I'm not an 'influencer'. Really.

Thanks Robert.
I checked up on that black piping and it is prone to leaking after 10 years or more so will probably have to be replaced.

There's always something ....
