Re: Plumbing problems
I think you will find that the correct term is "access chamber" I was building a small extension on a house in the mid 80s.in Lambeth, one of the first places in London to get on board with the whole PC thing. The council building surveyor came round to inspect and mentioned access chamber several times and he could see i was confused, he then told me that manhole was not used anymore as it is sexist, he did wink when he told me.rozzieoz wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2017 4:05 pm We had some leaks in the ceiling and the guys came in to do some repairs.
They located the problem, after cutting a hole in the ceiling, There is a manhole in the bathroom but that is blocked by the hot water system, so basically it's just a hole in the ceiling to access the hot water system.
Turns out, it just needed a funnel and a bit of pipe.
Ric suggested to the guy he cut a new manhole in the kitchen but that was a ridiculous notion- as IF he'd have to come back!
Except the next day.......
So, it turns out, the problem was the funnel. It just wasn't big enough.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
You'd never even know there was a problem!!!

Re: Plumbing problems
This reminds me of something that happened many years ago when I was working as a maintenance fitter on a poultry farm (caged hens setup). Anyway we had this really temperamental machine that dropped eggs into the trays and it was very delicate lol.
Anyway, one of the ladies working the machine came to report a problem. So, me knowing what a pain in the ass it is to get it setup right trots off to go have a look.
I could see as soon as I got there that it was fucked and promptly told the lady working the machine the good news. Anyway the convo went like this....
Me: it’s fucked.
Lady: can’t you just say it’s broken!
Me: no. If it were broken I could fix it, if it were just knackered I would have a job fixing it. But that’s fucked.
