Stay busy all
Best of luck that the chassis is OK.

Well entire cupboard contents under the sink removed and the door as well, so hopefully ready for the plumber when he arrives.
Just spent some time fishing out car documents for all the ones I have got off road. I checked the tax status of the kit I am still "building" which I had built up to registration status, then registered back in '95 before immediately taking it back off the road and getting a tax and insurance refund. It came up as "untaxed" and not SORNed. This surprised me a little bit, not that I thought I had sorned it, just thought it kinda happened automatically. Still, sorned it online. Just hoping they don't try and get back tax off me!
Weather still dull and it has rained overnight for the first time in a while.
Miserable weather not helped by the knowledge of what has come to pass over the pond.
What cannot be cured must be endured as they say.
Have a good afternoon folks.

Happened to me with a car too, When they changed from the basic "its not taxed or insured" to the SORNed, Been a while now and am sure you have to redo it every year?

At one point you did(have to renew) and I never saw the point, then the govt decided there was no point either so they stopped it, so Sorned until you tell them otherwise, or drive it and get caught!"
See what you did there, very good
Did you use a 6inch bar

not as much as a bang from a 12 bore
Plumber's bin.
35 mins wuk.
102 sovs including the stop cock and the VAT.
Nice enough bloke. Gave me the old one to play wiv.
I put a vacuum test on it, i.e. closed it tightish, then sucked on it and blocked the 'ole wiv me tongue. It hung quite happily off it.
Hmm!
Beginning to think there was nuffin wrong with it. Altho appreciate that this might not be a proper test seeing as how there was no water pressure the other side, just atmospheric pressure of 1 bar.
I'll test it properly later using a hose and connecting it up to a bit of copper pipe.
If it holds then I'll be rather annoyed. Maybe when I turned it off I was just too impatient to wait until it really stopped flowing/dripping..... Don't remember it taking very long last time but I have just tested the noo one and it did take an age to stop.
Flipping plumbing is not my favourite pastime.
Enjoy the evening folks.

Vac with your tongue will not compare.
Ditto that, a body can only provide so much suck, or blow.
And I'm not going down that road any further, ok?
And what the hell happened across the pond?!

And, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we have no evidence to the mains pressure in the property concerned!

...hence my forthcoming proper test.
Very sad and I will say no more as anything on this topic I would rather "discuss" on AG. Only actually I woudn't rather!
