Might be a few days before i can get an up-date chaps...........man-cave is a temporary storage area due to the damaged pipes saga this weekend , airing cupboard is damp on the floor boards to to what seems to have been a slow leak over a long period............i`ve had to cut out and replace all the 22m and 15mm pipework including all the tap drops to the main feeds..........and just for good measure it was all located BEHIND the ferkin` bathroom sink in an alcove so it was very limited access!!!!!!! .
All 3 pipes ran close together in the very lowest point of wall and floorboard..........couldn`t get a pipe-cutter or hacksaw blade in anywhere as no room!!
Touch wood i`m hoping all is well and i`ll keep an eye on it for a little while Hopefully the floor will dry pretty soon...........i`ve got a fan going in there at the moment to get airflow going

Oh bugger, always a worry when you discover something like that mate but at least you can do it yourself and not have to pay someone else to sort it.

That is a real pain in the ass . Hope you has it sorted dude, would be a nightmare having to go back in there re-do it

Kit looks terrific! Your nerves on the other side don't. Good luck with the pipe issue.

Nothing to worry about Marco, Boots`s pipe is getting old.....it's bound to leak a little . Hat and coat time I reckon

Post by Boots on May 16, 2020 19:23:13 GMT
A small bit compared to you lot but a big bit for me........more detail painting and shuffling/adding etc, planks lightly dusted and the Boyes AT as WIP.........drying and handling times slow things a bit but i`m on target .............the rag on top of the rear fuel can is white btw...the lighting is reflecting off it a bit
Still got some more bits `n` bobs to do but not too far off now
Thanks chaps
