New project, will take a long time
- Thread starter Yanbbrox
- Start date
Indeed, my Dad turns up this morning with the opening comment of 'your probably going to shout at me but...'. A car full of breeze blocks to repair the caved in side which I'd already stated was going to be concreted and not breezed up. I can't complain too much as he's been a huge help so far but stillzennzzo;2180417; said:
Anyway as no work was planned in hole one I ignored it and carried on with the day's plan, then of course Mrs Y finds out of the breeze blocks and proceeds to be very, very
and she has been chopping down the left hand side of the garden followed by painting, so every comment made about anything is then snapped back and forth until I walk away.I've walked away once from the thing today to post the irked, I needed to get out of there, and I've drove away twice, once to get some more pipes which I needed and once to get another connector that I didn't but again I needed to get out of there. I do wish at times that people will just leave me be and I'll get on with it(present company aside
).The stance on the breeze blocks is I think the are unnecessary and concrete would not only do a better job but it would do it quicker, I'm so sick and tired of this project at the moment I just want it over and done with and now I have to wait for these breeze blocks to be cemented in something I won't be here to see, If he wants to breeze it all up I'm going out for the day, if Mrs Y wants to come then fine as long as I don't have to put up with the atmosphere that it will create.
Update later...........

I hate it when there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians...
Chin up, take a breather, it'll all be good in the end...
Preparation, always good:
First in was the main valve:
Then the next pipe up and vortex one in place, the huge pipe coming up is for the air and will be cut at a later date:
Drain system for vortex one including valve:
Unit one and two in:
Also after many trips out got hold of some cheap Kaldnes, over 60 or so litres here for a few quid less than a 50 litre bag:

The first and second unit vertical pipe is too large, this is nothing down to my cutting technique btw the solvent weld pipe is so flush it's almost impossible to get all the way in as the only thing that seem to get this flush is a sledge which you can't use on a 90 degree bend consiquently the rubber connectors I'm using should come into their own(or fail
) as one is perfect and two is raised up a bit due the pipe not quite going in fully, it's solid don't get me wrong but it measuring an arse.
Also with all the extra pipework in hole two make hole 2 not big enough
extra digging and concreting will be needed.
Comments and thoughts as always......

good progress I see too...
I have found by really gooping up both the pipe and the fitting, almost to the point of overdoing it, with the cement, makes them slip easier together...I know working with 4" can be a real PIA when putting together with slip couplings...
All connections have been overdone, trouble is the second this stuff touches a pipe it starts to set, then the other end needs gooping then needs putting together and sledging in(best wayzennzzo;2182487; said:
). I'm fairly sure that they'd been reasonably watertight without the cement the joins are that snug even after thoroughly sanding down. We'll find out when it comes to the fillThe join on that picture is not the best due to having to hit the other 90 as opposed to a solid piece of pipe. If I have to replace it I will but I'll see if leaks first, long way off that yet....
