Still wrestling with the problem of my leaking shower, and an inability to access the relevant areas without demolishing half the bathroom... my thoughts turned to the possibility of drilling a few small holes in appropriate areas (eg inside cavity walls/stud partitions/under floor boards/through joists) and poking an endoscope down them to have a looksee at what's going on.
I see that HSS do one for hire, but at a daily rate of 40 quid plus VAT
- wow!
So I was wondering, maybe it would be possible to make one up relatively easily... what do you think / has anyone tried it? I'm thinking, a length of 15mm copper pipe, an LED light and a mirror or prism at the tip, and I suppose a lens at the eye-end... hmm, maybe not so easy after all. Any thoughts from anyone who knows more about this stuff than me? Wouldn't mind if it cost a bit, as I would get to keep it for longer than 1 day, unlike going down the HSS route.
