• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

The shower tray trap proved very hard to do up and seal properly. There was nothing for it but to go downstairs and open up the ceiling to see what was causing the issue. Turned out to just need a little adjustment on the outflow connector.

But.....and this will make some of you happy...!!...I found that one of the compression joints that caused so much kerfuffle earlier in the thread was leaking....yes, I know, I know.....I can hear the 'I told you so' and I apologise...you were right. So I ripped it all out and fitted a run of solvent pipework. That drip is a legacy drip. Nothing to see here !

The other reluctant realisation is that that ceiling needs overboarding and replastering. Just a wee problem. Full of furniture and nowhere to put it.

I'd be tempted to put an access hatch there when you sort the ceiling Roger. Sods law you'll board it over and one day will need to get at it. Happened in my son's house a few years ago so I put a small hatch in his kitchen ceiling, just in case.

Another area where short adjustables that have a wide opening ability come in usefull is with the pump isolation valves.

Sorry to back track, but the last pump valves I needed to get off I used an 18” Stilson with a 4’ scaffold pole on the end.

And all my special “plumbing” spanners are just old open ended ones which I have picked up over the years, grind off the faces to fit the nuts and shorten the legs.
