DIY update

Never mind the lounge, I'm now having 'fun' with the kitchen. After problems with a hosepipe on Sunday that led to a tap that sent more water sideways than into the sink, something clearly had to be done.

That something began just as DIY stores closed today. Which leads us to Andrew's First Rule of DIY:

Do not start DIY unless DIY stores are open for a clear 8 hours ahead, or you have enough spare parts to rebuild whatever you're working on twice over.

Thankfully B&Q opens at 7am tomorrow, at which point I shall avail myself of some bendy pipes etc. (or at least sufficient caps to block the pipes so I can turn the mains back on).

The temptation to try my hand at welding is rather strong though...
