Aaaah, my immortal enemy, brought to the surface at last.

That is the window in what used to be Scott's room (and before that Ed's room).

You will notice a large down pipe hidden in the fucking wall.

Normally there is a large piece of wood covering that whole area, which is why we had no idea it was there.

You will also notice a join halfway down said pipe.

Guess where the leak is?

Congratulations!

Does this mean it's all covered by your insurance?

[andrewducker]

Oooh, yes. Indeed it is.

[cybik.livejournal.com]

That's.. Wow. Pretty impressive idiocy.

[dreema.livejournal.com]

what is it? some sort of inside mounted drainpipe?

[andrewducker]

Possibly. Nobody seems very sure :->

Did someone build a replica of your house, but slightly larger, around your house?

Your plumbers and insurance people need a talking to.
I have lived in many archaic properties and would have investigated all the funny little wooden panels around the place, since they tend to either hide pipes or cables.
Then again I worked (and did some maintenance) in a hotel that had additions over many decades thus had many such idiotically hidden pipes.

We once had a roan pipe behind a wall empty large quantities of water under our dining room.
It was a lovely swimming pool size when we lifted the floor and had to get specialists in to dry the foundations properly.

To be fair, the first lot of people to actually investigate behind the woodwork did find it. And then this lot found it again.

It just took me two sodding months to get people to agree who should go look for it...

So is it time to declare wiktory?

[andrewducker]

Not until they fix the fucking thing.
