Started to screw in me batton today following the screws down the ply walls into the wooden noggins.

When i got to the one above the toilet pan i noticed that the screw in the ply wall was missing.

I thought i'd better check behind to make sure i wasn't screing into a pipe.

I put my hand through the access panel that had been made for the plumber and felt down.

The cistern was sat right in the middle of a noggin, the noggin ran from ceiling to above cistern, then it carried on under the cistern.

As i felt down i caught my finger on what felt like a lump of mastik.

Next thing i knew water was p**sing outa the bloody thing and down the false wall.

Now you lads know the score, keep cool, keep calm, keep.......... hiting the ply wall wiv yer fist , go at it wiv a saw like a mad axeman and swear lots and lots coz you cant get to the bloody leak, until the customer comes in and faints coz half her new walls hanging off!!

Anyway after she came round and i had hacked my way through the ply to get to the cistern ( which i had to do wiv a stupid little plasterboard saw coz nothing else would fit.... i was shagged!! No not literally Ivegots you perv!)

Looking at the cistern we could see that the people who had put the ply walls up had made the same mistake i nearly did, and put a hole throught the ply and into plastic cistern. They had then tried to cover it up by putting a screw all the way into the cistern and then filling round it wiv mastik, which lucky me had then come along and knocked off!

Dripping wet and exhuasted we got out of bed........ oh no thats another story.

The customer was glad this had happend before i had tiled the walls and got the plumber in to fix it.

I really dont need Mondays like this too often. Anymore and i'll end up looking like DH!

I saw a topic titled leak and saw it was posted by wivers and had to put the kettle on before I clicked the link. What a stunner. You're a star Wivs - keep it up mate.

I'm guessing you gunned the screw back in place and fixed 'her' wall?
 
No she got the plumber to sort the toilet and the chippies are coming back to sort the wall as its their falt 🙂
