Son arrived at 5-30 pm to fit a new kitchen sink he had advised my wife to buy. This all started off with a leaking swan neck tap. All it needed was 2 new O rings which I had tried to get back in place some time ago. I gave up and left the tap with a small dribble from the swan neck. I was going to remove the swan neck and check the O rings and replace them if required and put plenty of silicon grease on them and re-fit. I suspect that he has tried pushing the swan neck back into the body of the tap and pinched and cut the O rings, as the leak has increased about
6 or 7 hundred percent.Two new sinks that are smaller than the original later, he is still here re-fitting the original sink with new taps.
I hope we get a working kitchen back again tonight.
Because he has plumbed his own bathroom and his girlfriends bathroom, he thinks he knows all about plumbing. I have worked in the development area almost all my working life and learned to check what could go wrong with a project, before starting.
Wish us good luck, or washing ourselves in the morning will take some time. We have no drinking water and no hot water until the sink is piped up again.
