Good news, bad news, sort of good news...

Plumber came out despite it already being weekend. It's a leak rather than a burst and should not cause damage in the next day oe so. (Bathroom is all tiles, no carpet or wallpaper and paint.) He can patch it next week.

But... the old copper pipes probably all need replacing before we end up with another major leak (as we had 2 years ago - insurance job wit humungous excess - but they didn't advise us to change it all).

Sort of good news is that we have savings that should cover it so it is not life-changing for us. We are very fortunate.

Once he has patches the leak we will discuss the major work and get some time and cost estimates. But he said it is pretty hard to estimate until he digs in. (We also have a drainage problem so need all that lot sorted which will mean breaking up a lot of the tiles.)

Oh ITG, that doesn't sound good.

I had something similar a while ago, but without the complication of a drainage problem. The insurance covered only the patching of the initial leak; not the replacement-of-pipes-before-something-else-goes.

Apparently a lady called Julia Hawkins has just set a new world record for 100m. A new world record in her category, that is.
Her category is 105+
