Do you try to be unlucky? Maybe one day your luck will change for the better.....
That'll be the day ooooooo!!!!
thanks guy & dont ask me about my bathroom dilemma ive had this week
Ok i won't!
But I will! Spill the beans then!
o,k boys & girls,,,,,are you all sitting comortably??,,,then we`ll begin
got a plumber in to fit a bath in our pokey bathroom as it was a wetroom type of thing, well the first job was to take up ceramic floor tiles,,,hmmm easy enough but it what was under it that wasnt, the shower floor & water run-off was a preformed steel thing which was nailed to the floor
, so out with the angle grinder as trying to pull them out was lifting the floorboards [which was a worry], so as it was a shoehorn fit it was decided to cut it in 2 bits, we then lifted it & ,,,,ARGHHHHH!, where this shower has obviously not been water tight its leaked through to the floorboards, so i thought oh well id better get ready to buy a couple of new ones, by the time id finished i needed 4 floorboards, then to inspect the joists,,,,,hmmmmm should they really have the texture of sawdust??, so now its 4 boards & 3 joists that needed sorting
,
so sorted that mess out & the plumber begins, "i`ll just remove these bottom tiles & skirting so i can lift the floorboards a bit to run the pipes under the floor" he said, so with a little persuasion with a jemmy off came the skirting,,,,,,,complete with a huge lump of plaster with 3 rows of tiles attached
,,,oh dear was his cry [spelt with 2 L`s & cks on the end] so now plastering required, next was the waste pipe for the bath,,,"just a little tap on the old pipe & replace" was the approach,,,,,ooops thats now a half brick needs fitting, so what started off as an afternoon job for the handyman & myself has ended up as 3 days work & ive still got the tiling to do,,,,,,,,yes unlucky alf is back on form
,,,,,i bet you wished youd never asked
