Ollie or Stan – Another Fine Mess!
Thought I’d fill the water tank today and get everything turned on to see if it all worked after the freeze a couple of weeks ago. So quarter filled the water tank, turned electricity on and started the water pump then turned on taps.
Everything going well – air getting expelled from pipes, lots of gurgles, nothing coming through then heard the sound of water splashing. The connection under the sink had come out and water was pouring into the under-sink cupboard. Very awkward to get to but managed to connect again after getting soaked (and yes I did turn the pump off but residue water was still coming through).
Mopped up the mess and then went to try again. Pump on, taps open then ‘pop’ the tap spout flew off and water squirted right into my face. Soaked again!
Felt like I was acting out a scene from a L&H film. But was I Ollie or Stan? I think Ollie as he was the one who was always getting into 'another fine mess'.
Anyway I had a good laugh which to be honest I felt I needed.
