Kitchen Sink drain Test 1

Thursday 29^th March

Contrary to the forecast, weather cool but sunny with no rain….the North of Spain is getting torrential rain and flooding. I spent the morning cementing the shower and “wall”…….8 buckets of cement. Pefected a formula of 12 trowels of sand, 4 trowels of cement and a saucepan of water for each bucketful… quite knackering. J painted door frames and shutters of front bedroom.

We broke for lunch and market about 1.30 pm and bought 5 kg oranges, 2 kg beans, 1 kg peas and 1 kg runner beans……10 €……peas and runner beans bumped price up ! Shopped at Mercadona on way home for meals for next 2 days.

We conducted a leak test of the kitchen sink drainage system…..the picture tells the story…..a number of leaky joints. I spent most of the afternoon trying to fix the leaks and conducting further tests, culminating in using sealant rather than glue to stop a leak. J painted, taped banisters ready for painting, plastered holes, cauchoed and painted water-tank stand, painted all the grills (removing 4 screws from each one for aesthetic reasons) and junction boxes, and screwed the missing screws back on the 6 dining chairs (probably removed by builders for grills).
