Video of the bathroom spaghetti junction. The wash basin is at the other end of the bath, so the waste from that must be joining the bath waste just out of view. Then the bath waste seems to extend under the toilet soil pipe and joins the 'stack' below it. Finally I turn the camera, (smartphone...

Hmm, so, I'll have to rip into the pipe box in the bathroom (1st floor) before I even start. Just to get an idea of the layout.

What does 'stack' mean by the way?

Annoyingly, I've been off work, but feeling too mankey to sort the bathroom. I know I've prolly added to the blockage even though I also used a public loo once a day. If I leave the toilet alone for about 4 hrs, I can chuck 1/2 a bucket of water down it without a problem. But more than that and...

Thanx for the advice guys. Yeap it was a huge dish of veg curry and rice. :D

This is not what a bloke wants when he wants to settle and check his emails following his after supper bath!! :mad: Having flushed the toilet not long before, I was still in the bath when I pulled the plug, only to notice a moment later the the toilet, right beside the tub, was filling up with...

It's definitely going to help light up the front room. Though I will probably have to enlarge it and inch or so, once the DG unit arrives and I get to measure it finally and calculate the timber surround/frame/whatever. Hopefully the bin men will take this, as I'm not sure the bus driver...

Viewed from outside the front door. Note my excellent application of an old piece of pvc board + bin liner with gaffa tape decorations.

Then the last bit. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j226/chashugh/Cutting%20a%20hole%20in%20solid%20drywall/Photo0123.jpg That's a thumbnail image by the way. (or it might have bee na fingernail) ;)

Then I cut out the top part, leaving that bar to support the bigger section as I wasn't sure how heavy it might be and it seemed like a good idea.

Then I shut down the leccy and started cutting. First a narrow bit at the bottom, just to prove it was going to go ok. That's when I found it was plaster boards right through.

Sooo, it's an all plaster board wall after all that. I bought another "voltage checker". £14 this time. It was also a bit vague about what was and was not there. So I took the drill by the horns and drilled a bunch of holes (turning them into slots for the start of the saw cuts), where no...

Not yet JJ. Heh, there's a launderette just down the road. I may get round to checking the whole machine out this weekend, but I have other things planned. That's the way it goes. ;)

A washing machine named Fred. Zero problems since buying Fred second hand 6 years ago, bless his little processor, till the other day. He boiled a wash, ignoring the 40 degree prog setting. And now refuses to progress through any prog or part prog. Fills to the correct level, emptys ok, but...

Yes, it's a bit vague, though when the light is switched on, it does detect the wires going up in the corner of the lobby nearest to the switch. But I'm going to cut a small square in the center of my planned window. Then check around inside the wall for the nearest stud before opening it up.

True. I haven't cut it yet. Something else came up.

Curses! My mind was elsewhere when I went into Screwfix. I paid £5.99, yet the online page shows it at £3.44 !!!! :mad: That aside, I want the size I want and won't be constrained by the wiring, even if I have to re-route it. But thanx to crystalclear's prompt, I now have a rough idea where...

Hey, thanx for that CC. That's a real bargain at the moment. And in stock at 2 stores locally! I'll be at their door as they open tomorrow! (y)

I need more daylight in the afternoons as the front room faces west. The front window is pretty small and it's all I've got. Apart from leaving the lobby door open all day. Image courtesy of Roomsketcher. There's a light switch inside the room, 100 mm from where I intend to cut the wall. As...

Every day's a holiday when ur as thick as me!
