Friday 20th September 2013
Today the plumbers arrived. Three arrived, they discussed options in a slightly argumentative way and then one left to do another job, leaving the other two to do most of the work. They were very noisy but got the job done. They left a mess, including a cracked bathroom tile, a wobbly paving stone (which was only laid the other day by the builders) and managed to kill some plants. But hey, we now have water and gas in the new kitchen.
Today was the most expensive day so far. And will need to get a decorator to patch up some walls too.
Copper pipes running under the front door threshold – need to de-wobble the paving stone though
Gas pipe running across the front. Once the sink drainage is added we can plant some evergreens to disguise
The copper arrived in the morning
Hot and cold running around the room, chased in here to make more space for the kitchen units
DIshwasher on left, sink on right
A mess in the en suite
Where the en suite basin was until it was removed. New pipes coming off these
The gas pipe for the hob, coming straight in from the outside
Hot and cold in the soil stack housing
Hot and cold leaving the soil stack’s housing

Hi
I like the look of the external gas supply pipes
Where your main supply joins the meter, you have an external box. Any thoughts as to what we could with an internal meter. Due to gas supply into the house being shut off for safety, would welcome any comments. We aren’t doing an extension, but is on current house.
Probably best to get a gas engineer to come up with a solution.
