Big Google is watching us!

As for the plumbing work on this house... The pipes here are clunking away like mad as my neighbours get ready for bed, turning taps on and off, flushing their toilet etc. It used to really make me jump because it sounds like somebody is upstairs here and dropping something heavy on the floor. I have got used to it, but it is still annoying and might eventually cause leaks somewhere.

The water supply for the rest of the street passes through my cellar which is probably why I am getting these big water pressure variations. The pipe comes in from the road outside, goes across my cellar and through into the neighbour's cellar. My water supply spurs off that inlet pipe.

I'm hoping that the inlet PRV will reduce the fluctuations and give a nice steady QUIET water supply here.

We're not that big a danger, to them.

They may not want our obedience, but they do want our money!

That will be a presta valve I assume. I had one tube which did that but tightened it up a bit and seemed to work or is the stem bent and catching perhaps.

Some presta valves have removable cores, these can cause problems by working loose,

Bit late though, you've got yours fixed.

No, the engineer just called in on his way home to check things out. He has given my landlady a quote which she accepted. I am waiting for him to contact me to arrange a time to do the work. Hopefully it won't be long because it will be getting pretty cold here soon, unless we have a very mild winter.

Any unusual vehicles in your area?

I'm not getting out much recently... On my brief excursions I haven't noticed anything 'unusual'. What have I missed?!

You're the one they seem to be interested in, same day boiler repair.

Ah... No, not seen them.

Anyway, as long as this one reappears soon and sorts everything out, I'll be happy.

Apparently, tradesmen in the valley have been very busy recently and increasingly hard to get hold of.

The same all over. One major one has had to close up shop for the time being. Too many positives among their engineers. Simple step of not wanting to spread it.

Morning. Chucking it down yet again Everywhere is saturated and running out of roads or tracks that don't have standing water or mud now.
