Domestic annoyances part 2

[graculus]

After discovering my burst pipe yesterday, I eventually found another stop-valve which stops all the water, so I am now just subject to significantly squelchy carpets (soon to be removed) and am very thankful for concrete floors downstairs.

On the negative side, the stop-valve stops all the water. All of it, not just the water going into the central heating system and my electric shower appears to be extremely unhappy with me. Grrrr. Aggravating but not completely insurmountable - demolition has been put back to the weekend, so today's task will be trying to find the elusive plumber who can come and fix this when I get everything else done.

So, before Christmas? Doesn't look like a goer...

Ouch! I know how you feel though, I came down the stairs last week to water dripping through the ceiling! I do hope it all gets sorted for you xx

Wonder if it might be an ides to ask Elusive Plumber (TM) what it might cost to install an easily accessible central heating stop valve, while he is there fixing the leak ...

Hope this gets done really soon for you - being without water sucks.

Maybe you should have filled the bathtub before you turned off the water...

Good luck on finding a plumber. Maybe you could bribe one with christmas cookies? Or...something. Christmas slash?
