Day 289 Soiled and dumped

18th May 2018

“We have a problem” Andy proclaimed, ” I’m not sure how the soil pipe will match up with the new toilet position” my heart dropped, hit the soil pipe, down through the sewer and into the shit heap.

He went off to the plumbing supplies get some fittings, and I took a load of crap to the tip.

Eventually he came back with a bag of bits.

He explained that he didn’t want to touch the soil pipe in the ground, so any fittings had to be above that. The only solution was to raise the floor higher in the utility area. So more wood was purchased, and another frame built.

This was not ideal, but having to deal with the unexpected is what I’m used to.

I left the cottage and headed back to Barrington, Andy was going to start the tiling on Saturday, I think he was looking forward to do that as it was a change, and I wanted to see the result.
