I’m nearing the end of the latest episode in the long saga that is the rectification of a previous owners DIY prowess. Or lack thereof.
Our “extension” destruction got started at 0830, the 5 builders were gone by 1400 only because they had to wait about an hour and a half for the skip to arrive.

Found out that in all likelihood he plumbed in the gas as well since nobody uses compression fittings below the floor. Thankfully the existing kitchen still has all the conduit as evidence that stuff is where it’s supposed to be.
The amount of correctional work I’ve needed to do in my house is unbelievable (or would be as a naiive buyer), all I can say for future is bugger ever installing a central heating system again, taken me about 3 weeks of days off and a few holidays on my own to get where I am, just the final clips to install and a couple of valves to put in and I’m done though.
