The following is a true story...
Only the names have been changed to protect the (not so) innocent.
Fred's - Top tips for moving a tap
Tip 1 - Call a plumber
Tip 2 - If you do not heed the advice of tip 1. Don't waste halve a bottle of MAPP GAS trying to braise ¾", buried, water-filled copper pipe.
Tip 3 - After attempting and failing tip 2. Drive to work and borrow the OXY kit. (Oh, so easy with the right gear !) But...
Tip 4 - When you succeed with tip 3. Remember that the water main is turned off, and the hose does not work. This is especially important when the neighbour's garden is on fire
Tip 5 - Considering tip 4, Use a bucket and water from the fish pond to put out the fire.
Tip 6 - After completing tip 5. Count the fish in the pond. If the count is low, rescue the fish from the smoldering embers and place back in pond.
Tip 7 – Whilst retrieving the fish, as noted in tip 6. Ensure that your now excited dog does not burn her nose on the hot pipe!
Tip 8 - Refer tip number 1
Well...
The neighbour won't be impressed, the goldfish is swimming on it's side, and the dog has a sore nose.
But you've got to laugh
