Today started off in a relaxed way, we had friends coming for dinner at 6pm and spent some time preparing the house and get everything cooked and ready. We were just about done when I went down to the laundry room to fetch some kitchen roll.
Signs of damp at the bottom of the wall, and a dripping sound...
David chopped his way through the partition wall and found the leaking joint on the pipe.
The Heath Robinson instinct then came to the fore and a nifty solution was rigged up using a wine funnel, plastic tubing and quite a bit of duck tape!
With the plumber on the way we had to postpone our dinner guests until tomorrow night.
After two hours or so of work with the heating and water turned off and a few more large holes in the wall, the offending pipe was sealed..
Thought it best to comment with "No comment". Bet that lot gave the plumber a laugh - or is it normal?

Oh, I was referring to the existing, not David's excellent "rescue".
