Kitchen refit progress
Next stage of the kitchen refitting has been to take the doors off the sink unit and take out the shelves. Now my husband can measure and study the plumbing.
It might be some weeks till it is completed so I fixed up a curtain using an old bit of curtain wire, some screws and some charity shop curtains.
After three tries in the last year we finally got our water company to turn up (long, frustrating story) and agree to put in a water meter under the sink. Apparently, we can't have an outside meter as we have a shared supply through a neighbour's garden with the stop cock in his drive. But all the 13 other houses, built the same way, have outside meters. We kept quiet as we did not want to ask too much and question any logic in the water board ways as the last worker ran away when questioned too much and nothing got fitted!! Anyway the person is coming early next month to fit the meter in the kitchen, and another one on the outside loo. Neighbour has not got one of those in the adjoining outside building - we again kept quiet just in case we were stirring up things for him!

the joys of water meters , they fitted one for next door , then his bill went up to £1500 they then realised we were on a shared supply with the rest of our little street and that none of us have working individual stop taps . Got even better when we informed the council that we still have lead piping
ReplyDeleteMentioning the lead pipes was our mistake last year. They wanted us to pay thousands to replace it. They hung on expecting us to weaken and agree. We didn't. We just filter the water in house as needed instead.
