boydeste Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Settling down for the night, been a busy day ripping my central heating system apart to find a blockage. Blockage found and flushed out and prepped ready to be soldered back together tomorrow. Edited August 17, 2020 by boydeste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dreaded microbore.... easy to install, apparently, but even more easy to clog up...! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a proper pain in the ass mate, especially if the manifolds are installed under an internal wall, that's why I had to totally chop both legs out. I then had to cut as close to the manifold as posible to be able to rod out the pipes. Edited August 17, 2020 by boydeste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sometimes $140 bucks just for them to show up. If I didn't have my nephew over the years who has a home improvement company, sort out my plumbing needs I'd be right f**Ked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "birds" on board to help you with your "bait" LOL! Did not realize until a few weeks ago, how much fun it was to be out on the water again.

I am out on the Atlantic atm so you see less and less birds. The boat is a 22 foot pontoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a shadow of his former self unfortunately, but he still has a bit of flare and once settled into the game he can do some damage still.

He did have a hair transplant (or more correctly a "scalp reduction") in the 90's, but with further hair loss he decided to go down the "hair system" route. What is a syrup? Google didn't help.
