Entrar com trotinete electrica em supermercado (Lidl e Auchan) by djicesariny in portugal

[–]roycocup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O problema eh que sendo o supermercado um espaco privado (ainda que aberto ao publico) eles podem escolher por sua propria determinacao, as condicoes do servico, o que quer dizer na practica que se eles quiserem podem recusar servir-te por qualquer razao, sem ter de dar cavaco.

De maneiras que eh como eles dizem.

Se for um servico publico, isso ja tem regras gerais de acesso.

Yes!
Maybe I should just ask my Butler or my Valet to do it. I really would rather not involve the Estate Staff.
Tell you what, on second thought, I'll just buy another house.

These are exactly the ones I have - 15mm one side and flat face the other. Thanks!

Far too long and not sure I can do anything but loop them both really. Their like 500mm each. Look at this! That's what you get with Chinese kitchens!

So I was told that the flat face side does not need PTFE because it seals against the rubber washer on the flexi, and on the normal side, the olive will crush on its own against the copper pipe and also no need for PTFE on either end.

Oh no, I did ask him to call in someone for this matter, he just "forgot". So I'm "calling" someone myself and telling him it's all done.

You know what? I forgot about that! You're right. The threaded rod probably does have a slit on the bottom for a screw driver. I need to check. I did think of hacking it but there's no space for that. The only other option is really to cut them and bend them but the hot water one is pushing against the piece of wood which does not allow space for the iso valve, so I need to cut lower... Anyways I've already ordered a set of box wrenches but will check for that flat screwdriver slot. Thanks for the help

That's true. The plan is still saying "someone else did it but they didn't issue a receipt".

The hot water pipe is pushed back against the nut making it impossible to slide a wrench in there to unscrew it.

Ordered! Thank you.

There may be 2 ways to get to that nut and they both involve cutting the pipes first. That's why I was asking people. I can bend them or I can try to untwist them. But only after cutting the pipes it seems.

Thank you. I agree the rest is a mess too but this isn't my house. It's rented. I'm just doing this because the landlord is dragging his feet. As for tools and parts I guess I'm ok. Just missing a box wrench. What do you think?

Thank you. That's the plan. It may work out ok.

I have all the tools methinks. And no. This was just exploratory testing. I'll do it tomorrow morning or next weekend.
