As the title says, where is the weirdest place you have fixed a leak?
this is mine today,
the lead pipe was punctured by a nail.

anyone guess where it is?
 
I thought a grave at first :lol:

spot on, 200 year old grave, opened so bodies can be moved to new area, due to a building going here, everyone thought lead pipe was dead! As well, so tried with a nail just to see,
4 bodies were removed, then I could go in do temporary repair.
watched another person being moved while I was there, amazing what you learn.
the bottom of the grave is approximately 2.1 m deep
 
You saying they buried someone then the water board come along and laid their main above the coffin then someone else was chucked in afterwards? Crickey!!! You'd have thought they'd have chosen a more appropriate route to run their pipe than weaving between grave stones :lol:
 
Not only water, 75mm gas main and 3 phase cable, grave was 200 years old though,
 
I wouldn't want to go down there knowing it was a grave, would kind of freak me out a bit to be honest. Its making me feel a bit funny just thinking about it haha.

Were the residents haunted by low water pressure then?

Can't compete with a grave!

Weirdest - a double decker bus fitted out as a hippy caravan

Stupidest - mother-in-law's bathroom. Shoulda left that one to the professionals.
 
On a bidet in ronnie corbetts en suite.

Ronnie Corbett doesn't have an en suite. At least he didn't. According to his daughter. And to be honest...... I only really saw her bedroom......

And Corbett in the kitchen the next morning. Didn't seem too pleased to see me for some reason.........
