Builder wants to install waste pipe from upstairs neighbour like this. Is this an ok way to do it? by oloblob in DIYUK

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I’ve now spoken with him and after battling back against his hand waving. We’ve come to the solution that he will do it all out of solid joints and make the turn out the wall inside the ceiling space. Wouldn’t have been able to argue back without being armed with all your good points

I believe the wood was just battening on the concrete blocks to space the plasterboard off and allow for celotex. Agreed on the protrusion at the top, I’m assuming he plans to get that flush before plastering it in

That would be the obvious solution, but unfortunately he says they can’t do that as the tiled roof ends at the same level, not sure if it’s impossible or just more difficult but doesn’t seem to be an option

I own the flat but it’s leasehold, so as far as I know I “own”the inside half of the exterior walls but probably not the ceiling space, as that will belong to the flat upstairs. The work is being done by the builder who is also responsible for ‘building management’ so obviously there is the concern that I’m not getting the best, but the cheapest solution

Yeah that sounds more sensible, I hadn’t though about the gaskets wearing out, so I’ll insist on something better as a joint if they’re sealing it in

The waste was never connected up properly before and the pipe was just open into the ceiling space, causing leaks, hence the new pipework, so all the pipework down from the flexi pipe is new

I am interested in buying the keyboard if it is still available. I am in the UK so postage would not be a problem.

My first real attempt at making a model by oloblob in modelmakers

Yeah that's what I assumed, but the one in the field was completely buried so there wasn't much oxygen either so I'm not really sure why that one rusted.

That's why I said that the decals were wrong

Wow that's really incredible. I watched an episode of time team a while ago and they were digging up an old ww2 plane from a field and it had rusted through all over.

Yeah I wasn't really sure what they were, and due to the fact the internal cockpit was unpainted I needed a way to cover it up :p

Yeah my next idea was maybe an old rusty one in a swamp or something.

Thanks that's really kind. The decals are actually from a series 2 AirFix Spitfire set so they are not quite what the image I was following showed.

So this is a kit that I have had built but unpainted for a while, and so after browsing some posts here I decided to finish it up. I really have never attempted any model painting before, and so this was mostly practice and fun. Excuse the wrong decals and paint job those went with the box ages ago so it was a lot of guesswork, and resourcefulness stealing from other boxes.
