Don't laugh..he's doing DIY!

What was it they said about the cobblers children being worst shod.

And mine is an engineer

Oh dear been there, done that. Taps were imperial, new parts were metric, nothing fitted, new taps bought, pipes were then in the wrong place. Tools couldn't be found - all my fault of course as the garage was full of my c* ! Go back to hardware store for the third time in a day for flexible pipes. Finally sorted after a full day but not before nearly having several apoplectic fits and lots of blue air

Thank god for the east European team he has under him!

And yet my OHs job is.....head of maintenance!!

Don't knock it, Meno! At least he had a go. We have both a leaky tap and a leaking radiator upstairs in the bathroom and it seems we have to be floating out of the front door before we get the plumber involved!!
