Replacing some guttering at the rear of an unoccupied house this morning.
Had to move one of those plastic Wendy houses out of the way, to get the ladder where I wanted it.
All of a sudden I could hear running water. Knew it couldn't be the down pipe cos I'd removed it. Wasn't the overflows, nothing coming out of the kitchen waste pipe, no leak on the garden tap.
Open an inspection cover, nothing.
I was beginning to get concerned. Running water in an unoccupied house. Could cause a lot of damage.
Eventually found it. Inside the Wendy house was a plastic toy kitchen. Lying on its side was a toy plastic kettle.
As soon as I stood the kettle up, the running water noise stopped!
It was so bloody realistic it had me going for about 20 minutes :-(
