Climbed in to bed about midnight on Saturday.
Suddenly awoke to the dread sound of the water pump going ten to the dozen.. this was about 1.50 am
Leapt out of bed ( literally as I was up in the cave ) and hit the button to turn the pump off
No obvious signs but had an idea what had happened as we once had a leak under the rear 'step up' to the back bunk bed
Soooooooo.. getting on for 2am I get the tools out ( yer, nutter or what ! ) and started taking things apart
Removed cupboard doors to allow the removal of the rear step, rear step and ............ nothing ! Well a bit of a puddle but no obvious signs of where it came from
Craining my neck to try and see the suspected problem area I turned on the water
AAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ceiling wet, cooker wet, coats hanging up wet, even the top bunk wet all in less than 2 seconds
The hot water pipe running round to the kitchen sink had split ..
Sooo.. temporary repair ( read t piece with the t bit blocked with a self taper wrapped in ptfe tape !! ) was made.
Finally got back to sleep about 4 am
Spent 3 hours yesterday replacing the whole line right from the boiler take off round to the tap..
Looking carefully at the old pipe, I find a manufacturing fault line along about a meter of it ...
Bloody Italians !!! oh:
