Do you ever go to a house, more than once, where things just go wrong ... EVERY TIME YOU GO THERE!!!???
It's like I'm cursed every time I work in this flat!
First time I went I somehow ended up with a nice straight towel rail, stood back and one of the brackets was literally way out - no idea how that happened either as I used a laser level :/
Today I went to run cold mains from behind the w/m, chase it into concrete floor across the kitchen, under the cabinet and through the wall under the bath to connect the bath/basin/toilet.
Did my chase. Was please. Flooring guy says: can you just go a little bit further as it will just hit the plinth where you are. Sure I say!
When I chiselled the extra bit with my sds I hit the hidden 15mm gas pipe :/ aaarrrggghhhh
It was nicely fitted right next to water pipes too! Nightmare! A I managed to get done was chase the pipe and cement over it and fix the gas pipe..
FFS!
