Wet pants strikes again.....

[GBDamo]

I was on the Wirral so my gaffer asked if I could swing by a pub as the landlord doesn't think the water tank is properly supported.

So I goes into the abandoned flat and ogle the surface conduit, bakerlite switches and wooden pattresses.

Then remembered the water tank.

Stuck my head through a hole in the ceiling and saw this little treasure.

Scouse plumber sense of humour eh?

Now why would you miss treat a decent copper topped table like that.

So what makes the landlord think it’s not supported properly?

It definitely NOT supported properly!

 

[timhoward]

Ask if you can keep the table though - even if you sell it they are worth a bit!

DIY bodge job getting stripped out.

pattress box as backbox.

and wall built over faceplate screws

Seen the old plastic pattress boxes used as recessed boxes quite often , but rarely do you find a wall built over the socket

It’s a diy disaster house. Turned his hand to plumbing, joinery, ufh, sparking....

the kitchen walls here are plasterboard on top of wood panelling.

Long way to go for a back box. Then again, you probably have a stock of them in one of your French villa's ?

You only need airtight box's in modern house's with stud partition walls, not needed in an old farm house with solid stone walls.
