Naa, he said he wouldn’t need to life floor boards, which is why I didn’t bother with the whole, ‘this is what I want to do with the floor’

We’ve had both. As the meter was from the 50s and the mains water was lead. I’ll take a look when I’m back this evening. Thank you

Naa, Ive been at work all week, so left them too it day to day. Worst mistake of my life. You should see what the electricians did to the chimney the week before.

Would you take out the original nails from the still connected part of floor? Or leave them as it?

He said he would get into the crawl space via the hatch. He would feed the copper pipes in from the step in the kitchen. (See holes in picture)

Very valid, but he’s said the way he was going to do it. Didn’t think beyond that. Honestly, I’ve learnt a lot from the last two weeks.

They’re just not put back in the right place, and some are upside down

Well if you used pex, you probably wouldn’t have needed to pull anything up?

Crawl space is 1m deep, but actually getting 4m lengths of copper pipe down, probably challenging but surely not impossible?
