One of the problems with GR for me, and also for others, is the differences in time zones across the world.

This means that it is difficult to respond to posts at the time that they are made.

I refer to Rollo's post:

what's the point of a man who cannot fix a tap and even worse the loo?
maybe that's what Bunnings does to a country".

Unlike some, I have never claimed to be an expert in every single thing under the sun.

I do have my practical limitations and whilst I know the theory of laying drains, replacing loos, domestic electrical circuits and all those DIY projects you see on Reality TV, there is a big difference between theory and practice.

Oh, and also, at least in WA, only Registered Plumbers are allowed to work on drainage and water supply items. This technically extends to changing washers....the one job I am capable of doing, and have done many times

At least it's just wet feet if you do your own plumbing and it goes wrong..

Yaay!

Really pleased your wife is okay. <3

It's good the tap is still under warranty - why change it yourself when you can get if done for free? ;-)

As for the loo - well, who wants a flood when you can get a plumber in? :-D

So pleased your OH is OK.

xx

Glad your OH is OK, and the plumbing! x

:-)

Someone is just being their usual charming self I see

Well we're not all married to superman and yet still happy with our lot :-)

and yes before you make comment on my husband he's more than capable of fixing both as am I as it turns out.

Now I know why I live in a council house.

Alright, no benefit when you have the both enders but they do look after the plumbing and stuff.

Glad your OH is better too.

She's put up with you for this long Allan :-)

Yes, but OH could change me :-(

Good to know Allan

Thanks all. :-D

Just a quick note, the tap is now operative but still has to be changed

OH is also operative, and I will not be changing her :-D :-D

Good news Allan pleased OH is ok. and good that the taps etc are fixed.

Great news Allan I am pleased all clear with your OH. Now your tap is fixed you can have a celebratory drink of water ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

So glad your oh is ok Allan. We are having much the same as you at the moment. Think the house is crumbling around us and most of the problems are to do with water.:( Fix one thing and something else goes wrong. :-S

I think that might be worth a celebratory drink!

Well, good news on all fronts :-D

OH is fine, although the Doctor still thinks that she may have had a very minor aneurism, but the CT scan was clear.:-D :-D :-D

Our mixer/filter tap in the kitchen will be replaced under warranty and that includes the plumber's bill.

Our downstairs loo has been replaced as well as one of the upstairs ones being repaired at a total cost of $643.50. I was expecting a bill of at least $1000 - $1500.

I think that I'll have a drink to celebrate.

:-D :-D :-D
