That’s better

I just re-jigged the washing machine waste and replaced the manifold that was too long in the utility room and now things are exactly as they should be. I wasted a couple of PVC fittings in the process because the new adhesive that I purchased from Leroy Merlin was flashing off much to fast.

You only had to touch the parts being joined together and they immediately became locked rock solid. I had to replace the two bends making up the offset for a third time as when they locked they were not on the correct angle. Luckily I still had some old adhesive that I got from Brico Depot a long time ago which cured much more slowly and allowed me to do the job.

The washing machine waste is now positioned far lower with a longer inlet and now there’s no chance that it will ever overflow.

I removed the 4-outlet manifold and replaced it with the 3-outlet version.

This has allowed far more room for the freezer which can now be pushed closer to the wall so it will not protrude from under the worktop.

I can now go ahead and order the floor and wall units, worktop, small sink and a mixer tap to finish the room off and make it exactly as I want it 🙂
