Hang on ! It was welded ( I think ) - then gunked . I might be wrong was some years ago … 🙄 If welded and gunked will it come off nicely ??? 🤔

I did do it right first time. It was just that its life span was 2 years....

Yep. I'll hear that 'drip' at some point in the future for sure......

🙃 I'll prepare a big list of jobs for you! Seriously; very kind offer of you @joe90

You really want me to do this don’t you ! 🤣 I’ll tiger seal it again . Then when it leaks again I’ll get a plumber in to do it ; will tell him some cowboy (expletive deleted)ed it up !

Filled up the sink . Let it all go in one ; so pump is busy . Ran round , up ladder - watched . Saw 1 drip - couldn’t see exactly where it came from . As this has been fine for 2 yrs I think it is the pump causing the pipe to vibrate / thud and hence weakening any seal . Could ( once I’ve smeared more tiger seal round the joint ) maybe clamp the white waste pipe to something to restrict any ‘bump’ movement

I caulk . Then when it cracks find the smallest narrowest trim I can and stick that up

Thats how my mega steel was like …

Once I got my completion certificate I just called up my insurer , changed to ‘normal’ insurance and of course my annual premium dropped so they refunded that . They never asked for any proof on completion . Also my self build insurance at the time allowed for occupation .

I would appear spell check does !

Keep the beam exposed so the Kevin mccloud can comment on how authoritarian it looks …

You say it how it is 😉

Not on a 1st date you don’t !

No ! . Use the sugar !

@Onoff sent me a nice advent calendar. Obviously I had to ‘catch up’ to current date . Very nice , very festive . Do we have a Xmas section where he can post it ?

Looking at this again .. the water discolouration track marks suggest running around the fitting ; up and then back to the bottom I.e drip point . 🤔????

Thanks ! Got yours today also

I know mate ! . Can’t do a list - I just walk around looking at 500 things and think “ must finish that “ …

Ooooo (expletive deleted) me ! I love a bendy one ! Nice one !

Oi @joe90 ! . Don’t you do a Labour on us LL’s ( get money for doing feck all ) . Still got a few years on my build aswell of work . Come and visit again and you’ll go “oh , there is still a bit too do “ 😝

It’s like my tires a bit flat , I could put some air in it and see what happens or remove the entire thing and fit a new tyre . One of those is asking for trouble . I’ll grow some hair around it another day . Trying to generate work for me ffs ! 🤣

Absolutely! About 4m I think . Probably not 1 continuous length so will have a weld coupler somewhere . Until SWMBO leaves ( or disappears for a week ) I’ll have to settle with ‘smear joint hope for best ‘ approach…..

@joe90 if we didn’t live here or SWMBO was away for a week I might be tempted to remove the boss as I really should . But … a tiny drip as I have could become a new major problem if I did this . For laughs if you look at my 1st photo you’ll see a 2nd capped off boss strap fitting . That was my first error 🤣 ; the angle of it is just out ; the white waste wouldn’t run into it !! . Access ( as it’s away from the wall ) was much better though . That one probably doesn’t leak 😂😂😂

The white pipe has no play on it . So if I did cut it would be a mare to get into the boss strap . I think it’s a 32mm pipe . I think I understand what you’re saying - a coupler without the central ‘lip’ . Going to be a (expletive deleted)er to get that solvent welded AND slipped back enough before it sets surely ??? The black pipe is the main drain ( obviously ) the final point before it leaves the build . So removing the boss means no toilets/drains until done . Feels like mission suicide to do that ! The real issue with the boss is I can’t get too / see the other side - so you are kind of hoping on a water tight seal .

Did @Onoff once mention lsx or something ? Vague recollection of someone saying something ! . It’s a tube ; so smearable ???
