Oh what fun we had ....

The last few days have been a lot of fun, as you know the shed (that we are grandly calling a kitchen) was erected at the weekend and on Tuesday the washing maching and tumble dryer was installed inside it thanks to Reggie's fabulous plumbing work. First thing Wednesday morning, Sue and I were very excited at using the new facilities (yes we really are that sad) and on the second load of washing we suddendly reaslised that the kennel area was slowly flooding. A friend of ours who's trade is ground works just happened to have popped by for coffee - so that was his afternoon gone because the underground pipe that was taking the waste water decided it didn't like suddendly having to do so much work and had completely disintergrated underground! We had our own little natural spring there for a while (well if you don't count the soap suds). As it turned out the washing machine wasn't even supposed to be emptying into that drain so we now have a lovely ellaborate peice of pipe work going into the man hole - that was after driving around for 2 hours yesterday afternoon trying to find the right sized pipes as no one seemed to stock the ones Reg had used.
