Epic DIY fail...

Well there should be two to each normally, ignoring waste pipes. Plus a cold feed to the toilet

Incidentally, did work on a site once where the toilet was accidentally plumbed into a hot water circuit!

You have no idea how warm you are getting (and there is a clue there as well)

 

And no  :) I don't have the wrong feed going to the loo or either tap

You connected the towel rail or rad to the domestic hot water supply.

I bought a new house where hot & cold water had been swapped at feed to tank end. Thankfully a reasonably easy fix!!!

Hot tap connected to heating system?

Or trapped the felt in a floor board, causing the board to rattle when the pipes near it moved.

OK first things first to preemptively protect my reputation...

 

I'm quite good at DIY and when I do a job, I do it well.

 

So I sort of knew what was causing the knocking and knew what to look for and to make sure that all the copper pipes could move over the joists easily.

 

So when I said I did a good job of putting the plumbing felt at all the rubbing points I did.

 

Except...

 

I did the cold water pipes not the hot...

 

So when I was sat on the bog listening to the knocking I was wondering how the hell... Because I knew all the pipes were floating free.

 

Yeah... The wrong pipes  :down:

 

So last night I wrapped the right pipes and the noise stopped. Strange that eh..?
