Lets get this bit out of the way... Im a fooking idiot from the Frank Spencer school of DIY that should never be allowed near a spanner again!

A couple of weeks ago i fitted new bath taps, I had several attempts at getting a water tight seal, but I thought Id done it.

Today - when i go to investigate the water running down the kitchen wall the connector on the hot tap was barely finger tight.

I am absolutely 100% utterly convinced I tightened that up. Is it possible that the heating and cooling of the pipes could loosen it? Or am I just clutching at straws to save my own embaressment?

 

you are clutching at straws mate

 

DOH! Thought as much!

 

I will have to try and use that one

"Yes love, the water made the nut undo"

 

use ptfe tape or red locktite .. that will stop it coming undone

o dear

 

Well I obviously DIDNT tighten it up - and now Ive got to decorate the kitchen as punishment.





Wonder what kind of mess I'll make of that?!
