Even I know this is bad, right?



Let's just say I got quite wet trying to shut this down before I remembered there was a stop tap nearby... Not fun!

Pesky global warming.

Easy enough to swap as it is between the two unions. Mine always go on stretches that are completely inaccessible to anyone.

It's an outside toilet so it can wait until the warmer weather arrives... Suffice to say some lagging will go on it when I've finished, although with -10 temps I wonder if it would make much difference.

When I got home today I wondered why the neighbours had their hose on... And why my garden was so wet, which I assumed was snow melt...

They didn't, and it wasn't. hehe

Not too hard to fix if you can use a spanner!

Screwfix or Wickes will have all the bits you need to fix it & probably lots cheaper than a plumber smile

Done a bit of shonky plumbing already so I'm not afraid of the job, just the fact it's bloody freezing out there! smile

Thanks for the link though, most helpful!

Just hope that there is enough flex in the pipes to squeeze a new section in between the two compression fittings.
