Re: What have you done today thread?
Dog walk on the beach and with my old dog in his hire disability wagon which he loves. Probably his last trip to Cornwall so he’s getting spoilt (apart from the doggy dementia moment where he went for a paddle into the stream just as a huge wave rolled up the beach and muggins had to wade in up to his thighs to point him back to the shore as he was determined to head out to sea! ).
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

Pool man delivers me bad news after pressure testing.v8-powered wrote: Mon Sep 25, 2023 7:24 pmSimilar job here. Drained ours as having a water loss issue which the pool guy thinks is the pipework leading the the water inlets. Coming tomorrow to test pipework and prepare for replacement.Yorick wrote: Mon Sep 25, 2023 6:54 pm Drained the pool today and jet washed the liner as level dropped.
But last 6" wouldn't shift as below the pump room level.
So me and neighbour cobbled together the pump from fountain. Didn't have relevant connections so was held in place by lots of lockwire and hope.
Ready to fit the top trim tmrw.
Buried pipe from plant room to pool has gone pop, probably on an old galvanised fitting somewhere - going to have to lift patio and pool surround to replace the complete run. Kerching!!!!!

3 arrows from me and 3 from my shooting partner.
Only 20 metres indoors but still chuffed.
