I have these past few weeks, completely remodelled my main bathroom. It involved new close coupled toilet (removal of a rather over ornate overhead cistern) moving the soil outlet, moving the cast iron roll top bath, new basin and cupboard, plastering, plumbing, 500 tiles*, and flooring. I am now doing some final snagging, main problem is the monobloc tap in the new sink had come lose.
Its that silly type with a long screw thread and an elongated brass nut crimping up the mounting plate.
Without buying the correct box spanner, I could just get some mulgrips up there. I managed to grip the mulgrips onto the back of my left shoulder. Literally, locked onto to a pinch of skin hanging painfully (and as I found out bloodily) from my shoulder.
I was laying on my back with my shoulders in the sink vanity unit, the mulgrips were in the base of the unit behind my left shoulder, and in reaching over to grab them I freakily locked them onto my shoulder.
Not sure how I explain the wound to Mrs Z when she gets in. Wiped up the blood from the vanity unit tho.
*500 tiles. Metro type brick style= 150 metres of 3mm of grouting to be done so I thought I would try a new tool and use a grouting gun. Anyone wants technical thoughts on that - let me know.
