You sure its not a leaking stop cock on the water supply line to the property?

You tell me??

Flow rate into tank = flow rate out . Only time flow goes into tank should be when foul flow occurs from property i.e toilet/sink/bath/shower. Sounds as if there is ground water infiltration in to feed pipes and bottom of pipe blocked up due to septic tank not being emptied for a very long time.

Now that is posh a wardrobe with a window to hang your suit up

Changed my mind, would bring mortar all the way up to level in one go and forget the self levelling so that its all held down in a monolithic block and tied in to brickwork gaps, may even put some nails into joist for mortar to tie into. Apologies to noseall who will now have a fit.

Well I have to close my static ( not suite) down in Skegness next week so I'll keep the thread alive and update in due course

As you can see if you don't follow noseall the jobbing builders advice he takes exception

Its OK just tell them you haven't been onboard long enough to get your sea legs yet and you'll have them in another 4 days

This is why I do not like sailing back to Southampton after a autumn/winter cruise as it gets colder and colder and colder and spoils the end of the holiday, flying back is best I think (unless you are on the vodka all the way back and do not know whats what)

That's me all over, I'm off to the Caribbean because that's where I want to go, in February because that's when I want to go, in a ship because I want to go on the sea and with the wife because that's what's she wants. We are obviously 2 peas from the same pod.

Don't bother some seasoned traveller told me its a bit naff. The buildings are leaning over, terrible footings

Should be walking around Florence or Pisa now

Enjoy your holiday, end of

I'm the opposite, I like sharing tables with strangers, it gives the wife someone to converse with and leaves me to enjoy my holiday
