I have just spent the most enjoyable 2 hours this afternoon. I have never laughed so much for ages looking at the photos. I have got as far as Page 80 and intend to go to the end; it is going to be hilarious. There seems to be Competent plumbers like members on this forum,cowboys,Diy`s and frankly people with no brains!! Cannot get my head around some of the jobs people do.
As mentioned on my previous posts I only have 2 joints to do which I was not sure about ,3/4 to 22mm. Had some good advice and decided the best way to go is to solder the joints. Not done soldering since the boar war so decided I was going to practice & practice till I got it right.
Purchased 25 solder free 22mm straight connectors some new laco flux and some Mapp gas. 1[SUP]st[/SUP] efforts were poor but gradually got the temp right and my efforts so far are below. I also had loads of old solder ring 15mm connectors so practiced with those as well and they also turned out ok, to me at least ,but feel free to criticise got no problem with that. I will still keep on practising till all the connectors are gone.
Maybe a bit too much solder but I pressure tested them with no leaks!!
There is now way I could stand to do a job like some of the photos I have seen, besides her indoors will kill me. To date like the toilet with low level flush about 7 feet in the air. The radiator plumbed in on the stairs. Leaking water joint above electrics mended with a toilet roll and the dozens of spaghetti junction copper & plastic piping ,just too many to mention.
I know I have asked a few questions about certain things and had some excellent advice. If I get stuck or need advice I know I can ask and get a lot of help, oh yes forgot photos of flexies bent almost in half and custies wondering why water flow is not so great ,ha ha.
