A cautionary tale..... We have one connected to the our en-suite which sits above the garage. The macerator is installed on a shelf in the garage just under the ceiling height and adjacent to where I park my car...... Our en-suite is a big b******* and we have a v.large walk in shower. The wife had left the door ajar one day so one of our dogs decided it was a good time to visit a part of the house where it's normally not allowed. Unfortunately the aforesaid mutt had been scoffing plants and things in the garden. So, the bl**** mutt investigates the shower and barfs on the floor of the shower cubicle. In haste the wife quickly cleans up and throws the cleaning tissue with dog puke down the loo before I get home. I come home a few hours later to be told that the shower is backing up and the macerator seems to have stopped working, she neglects to tell me about the dog puke incident... Soo I have to investigate. Sure enough the fuse for the macerator has tripped out, a quick reset and it cycles about a quarter of a turn before tripping out again. Quick inspection reveals the macerator to be v.heavy and full of errr, liquid. I have a brand new spare macerator in my shed, so I think it should be a straightforward swap....Oh dear... Suffice to say that at a slightly later juncture in the evening I am stood atop a step ladder with a fairly heavy full macerator in my hands, but still connected to the waste outlet. Foolishly I ask my wife to reset the fuse so that by a series of incremental "throttle blips" we can empty it out in small steps. The fuse box is at the opposite end of the garage. Wifey pops the fuse, the macerator cycles briefly, stalls, and then erupts from a relief valve on top spewing a shower of fine brown brown slurry up into the air and over the head of the Muppet standing on the step ladder....Unfortunately it doesn't trip out immediately as before but cycles for a few seconds, thus ensuring a full and even coating of both myself, the step ladder and anything with a 2ft vicinity......Doh! :A***: I don't say anything....I'm afraid to open my mouth goodness me, meanwhile Mrs L is doubled up howling with laughter from the sanctity of the dry end of the garage.... An hour later and having endured a fully clothed cold shower from the garden hosepipe, I am shivering in the garden as I swill out the macerator with the same cold hosepipe, jamming the blades at the bottom is a small spring...of the type found on clothes washing pegs..... "Ah yes" says SWMBO when I point out what's blocking it...."Lola occasionally chews up my washing pegs, she most have swallowed one and I picked it up when she was sick...." This is the first of the dog sick incident that I had heard, as I stood outside, dripping wet, cold, having been doused in ****e, and cleaning out what amounts to a mechanised pooh chopper.......I was not as happy as I could be at this particular juncture..... :laugh: Anyway, suffice to say the macerator was stripped, fixed, plumbed back in and dogs are once again firmly barred from my bathroom.... |It's not the first time I've had **** poured over my hopes and aspirations and I'm sure it won't be the last....Hopefully it will be the last literal outpouring of ****e tho'.... :d

Nope, I bought the seats of the Locost forum, they'd never been used and came with Sparco runners. I say sparco but it seems they're supplied by a lot of people. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOUBLE-LOCKING-BUCKET-SEAT-RUNNERS-SLIDE-RAILS-SLIDERS-/260821245444?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cba285e04#ht_1875wt_1037

I tore both back muscles whilst renovating the house. Lynne was in hospital at the time so I had little choice but to dose up on codeine and paracetamol to keep going. I was taking 9 per day for 6 weeks (max dose is 6 per day for maximum of 3 days!). I've now not done a stroke of work since mid December and I'm still getting treatment twice a week at the physio. I have lots of little jobs to complete the house but have been warned not to do anything until I'm completely cured. I'm just so bored I'm thinking of starting an autobiography.
