Now that the fog of last night's beer has worn off its time to tackle another project. Mrs P wants the outside tap moved so that she can reach it from the porch rather than have to go rummaging about in the bushes. Looks easy enough and I bought the necessary parts yesterday. Time to turn off the water and get to work
Update:
What is it with women and going to the bathroom? Not 5 minutes after I shut off the water and cut the existing tap off, they need to go to the toilet!!! They flush and this causes a drop in pressure in the system and the water then syphons back out the lowest point. Which happens to be what I'm working on! "Sorry I forgot" was the apology, anyway no harm done and its all back together and tested. The double bend I had to put in was to accomodate the fact that the upper post overhangs the lower post by about 1/2 inch.
Mrs P will be happy when she gets back. Next job is to replace that scruffy lattice work on the left of the picture
