The drain men get serious....  eeek:



Gawd knows what damage they will do with THAT tomorrow....  scared2:

We had an Irish lad work with us years ago, couldn't read, couldn't write, but he could part yer hair with one of those long reach excavators

I suspect they'll be doing more than that....  noooo:

I'd love to have a bash at one of those tho....  Thumbs:

We were sat in our local a couple of years ago and a JCB digger thingy went past( public road) with a kid (9?) driving it .......all the ex-pats were shocked but one old Cyp just looked up ......and said ..don't worry that is Stelios ....that's his dad's .......... eeek: eeek:

Stelios you say?

That'll be Easy-JCB then . . . .

 lol: lol: lol:

 lol: Right coloured livery.  I wonder if the 'trolley dollies' have hairy arses and wear steel toe capped stilettos.

Eeeewww I have an awful image in my head now. eeek:

So, how do you fix the problem of the two pipes that don't meet...?


Well, you pile up some owld rocks on either side of the hole...


Then you put an bit of owld corrugated iron on top - with a plastic pipe for a drain inspection hole...


And then you make a mould for a concrete 'cap' for the hole...


And then you liberally dose the whole thing with concrete...

If they've arched it, yes, but it needs to be secure. T'other way is if they've seated it on brickwork (or more wood  lol: ) and surrounded it with mortar overnight (sort of been there, done that like  ;) )

Or DUCK tape  :thumbsup:
