Oooo, that sounds dirty. Can I video tape?

I must be lucky. In 21 years of house ownership, I've had no floods. But with this fookn house, I've had more than my fair share of leaks.
Just finished plastering and painting #3 son's bedroom ceiling. Two days later: "Dad... I think you'd better come downstairs...."
Water dripping from the ceiling.
Climbed up in the ceiling - broken t-joint in the pipes behind the kitchen. Knee through the ceiling, big soggy piece falls down. Hmmm....
Oh well - means easier access to fix the pipes.
So, I fixed that up, re-gibbed/plastered ceiling, but procrastinated finishing it off. Few weeks later, there's another leak, this time behind the dishwasher.
Pull soggy ceiling down, fix broken crox (or however you spell it), replace ceiling, re-replaster and re-repaint.
Short time later - newly laid tiles in toilet are all wet and grout is cracking. "Hey - don't you guys know how to use a toilet?!?"
More investigation - pipes behind laundry tub are leaking. Crap. Pull tub out, cut wall open, replace t-joint, replace wall, replace tub.
Short time later - #2 son's bed is wet. Can't have pissed himself in the night - it's by his feet. Hmmmm... ceiling isn't suposed to have water-cooling. Pull architraves and tongue'n'groove out - leaking t-joint.
Fix that up, replace, and a few months later, same thing. FArk!! The other t-joint is leaking; this time it's my fault - I re-used a t-joint. Oops....
I've also had to replace two showers (and the floor/walls adjacent to them) because of leaks, and had two leaks in the roof, the latest of which leaked out through the lounge wall minutes after I'd put the first coat of paint on after having the lounge replastered.
Hopefully, the other sundry bazillion plumbing joints around the house are OK, coz new carpet's going in on Monday.
Shit - I've just tempted the plumbing gods now, haven't I?![]()
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
Hell yea, good luck Viff

Years ago I had an upstairs flat, with the landlady living below. She had gone to Europe for several weeks. I managed to flood the flat, was able to mop up most of it but a bit concerned that the sodden carpet wouldn't dry out properly, so got a 2-bar electric heater which I angled over the worst part of the carpet. Went away, got distracted, forgot about it and ended up burning a hole in the carpet. So not only did I later have to explain why her downstairs rooms were so damp, but the burnt patch in the upstairs carpet as well.
At least flooding the bathroom is not going to damage the fixtures in the same way as a kitchen flood. Once a babysitter forgot she was filling the sink, and several hundred litres of water ended up on the bench, in the drawers and the cupboards, all of which were made of particle-board...
Age is too high a price to pay for maturity
While Dad was still living on the island (after I had left to go to uni in town) he forgot to turn off the weather. The house was in a beautiful little setting next to the stream, which flooded something fierce. Reckons when it burst the banks and came over the lawn, it got deep real quick. Wound up with the water being 4 feet up the french doors, with arc's of water jetting out from the gaps between the doors. Fortunately the force of the water held the doors in hard against the jams, so not too much came in, but by the time it had subsided there was a foot of water across the floor. Was really lucky that none of the trees getting swept down the stream came over the lawn and hit the glass on the doors, things could have got really messy.
Incidentally, it went through our shed as well, and Dad found my trail bike (yam Xt200) with just about an inch of one end of the handle bars sticking out of the silt - still inside the shed . . .

D is the king of pervs. He's one of the ones you have to watch out for, because he's quiet about it, while I vent my pervyness here, so I'm all perved out when I meet people and walk the streets. In fact D taught me everything I now.Originally Posted by Sniper
