Afternoon all,
My debacle from the weekend......
Sunday the wife asks me to lay some new lino type flooring in the bathroom as she wants to tart the room up a bit while we haven't got the money to do a complete changeover.
2-3 hour job I thinks and crack on with pulling up the old bright blue carpet tiles. I'm left with the 3mm hard board which was all in good condition and just needed a few more pins here and there to take away any bounce.
So I get banging with the hammer and pins. Now, the nails were marginally longer than needed, but were all I had and were only about 3mm more than thickness of floorboards so should be no danger of pipes etc.
So almost there a couple more to whack in. Hold on, is that a hiss I here?? Off goes radio. YEP, It's a bloody hiss. So I begin the run around like a loony bit and turn off water, pull up hard board, cut floor boards etc.
Up comes the floor board and woohoo I have three fountains!!!....
Why do they do it? Right up against the bottom of the floorboard!
