So, I went to my dad's this weekend to floorboard his attic. Yay. Except I spent all Saturday aching and aching and aching as I was bent double hoiking bits and pieces all day. Then on sunday we started to move things into the loft, I was exhausted before we began, and my dad's way too ill to be much help lugging heavy stuff around.
Anyway, turns out that at some point in the past, the dozy people who put his header tank in left the overflow pipes hanging in the air. 20cm off the ground. Anyway, Dad had loft insulation people in, who put lagging stuff (the big yellow fluffy stuff) in, ON TOP of said pipe, and caused a weak joint to collapse. Some dozy idiot on Sunday (that would be me) put some spare lagging (rolled and bales) on top of the header tank causing the ball valve to depress (no hard cover). Which caused water to leak into the overflow. Which wouldn't be a problem except for it being disconnected.
The result? water dripping through my brother's ceiling, through his ceiling lights! nothing more alarming than watching someone's light fitting with water dripping through it.
In other news, this is my world holiday calendar :) if I could afford it
