Why I hate D.I.Y. that involves water. Bathroom update.

I hate water as water causes leaks when you move it through pipework unless everything is perfectly sealed. It was a leak that started this whole project when a leak around our bath brought in the kitchen ceiling.

Now having got all the water-pipes in and checked them for any leaks it was time to sort out the waste pipes. The problem was the new fancy sink and unit was nowhere near connecting with the exsisting waste pipes.

So I bought a new waste kit and some bends and a six foot length of pipe so I could cut off about 4 inches from the end, that was all I needed. Once fitted and altered to fit I checked it for leaks by running water through it and all seemed well...

Well until I turned around and realised I'd not blocked off the waste pipe for the shower and there was water everywhere as the two waste pipes are connected. Mopping up the water and moving the shower base back out of the bathroom I've fitted the showers waste trap and again tested it all for leaks. With hot water into the sink the next step is connecting the cold water supply to the sink and pipework I've put in for the shower.

The wife has already started to accessories and picked up a new soap and toothbrush holder, it's so good when she starts to help out in dong the new bathroom.
