011 of 366 ball valve replaced
Finally got around to replacing the ball valve which has been causing problems with the downstairs toilet - overflowing into the brickwork. It was fairly straightforward, apart from the dodgy moment when I couldn't join up the inlet pipe and the valve pipe without it leaking. Fortunately, a new washer (which I had in my tool box) did the trick. Phew! Always a bit nervous tackling water-related jobs, but pleased that it all came together in the end. Useful to have Mike on hand to turn the water off when necessary, so didn't make any real mess. Next job - replastering and painting the wall in that corner, but maybe when the weather is warmer, so it can be as dried out as possible.
