VICTORY !!!! WON OVER THE PLUMBING !!!

VICTORY !!!! WON OVER THE PLUMBING !!!

Posté le 19.12.2007 par sablesdegypte
Hello to you all,

Today is a very important day I won my battle with the egyptian plumbing !!!! Probably it felt I was prepared to take apart taps and pipes as I had more than enough of a vague trickle of water, well drops would have been a fairer description, so trying to take a hot shower was just out of question, and a cold one well I am not a fan...... and washing my mope was a nightmare. Kettles of hot water pour over the kitchen sink.....

So yesterday tired of asking the BAWAB or caretaker about having some hot water...I investigated the roof for the water tanks. Here water is brought in by water trucks and then pourred into a large ground tank and then pump up to smaller tanks located on the roof...

Here I went yesterday to find out why I had never any water... sometime cold or hot...
so I climbed the ladder leaning against the tank, hoping this dam thing would not slip.... and all tanks were full, so many pipes are going in and out of the tanks it is impossible for me to know which is mine. So back down to run the pump, ran back up to see where the water was going, well found nothing.....so Sherlock deceided that if the tanks were full and I have no water... I have an air lock somewhere.
So I had decided that that was it, I was getting myself a "mooftar" or spanner to dismantle the plumbing... but before urgently i neede to wash some clothes... not having water I had left the washing for better days and here is the magic

Remember I have a twin tub washing machine and I fill the drum with a hose itself connected to a tap, well connected is a big word, the hose is shoved onto the tap but it holds....
and during rthe filling i heared spitting and chocking into the pipe..... and bliss water came back to my taps.

Technical notice of water use. BEFORE TAKING A SHOWER FILL THE WASHING MACHINE DRUM HALF WAY;;;;;
and me who was trying to save water made my problems worse, the more I saved the less I had..... so this morning I took a really long hot shower.....just for the peasure of feeling the water running...............

The day shall be a very good day !!!!
