As we are now increasingly looking into water treatment and the water supply in our shed, we decided that it wouldn’t hurt to know a little more about what we are actually doing here.
That’s why we enrolled on a 6 week Level 2 Diploma in Plumbing Studies (6035-02) course at City & Guilds. Contrary to expectations, the course was extremely helpful, instructive and, above all, great fun. We owe a lot of the fun to our instructor Iain, who was always able to pass on the tips with a lot of humour but also a lot of experience.
We learnt how to bend and solder copper and even threaded the dreaded LCS pipes, how to lay plastic pipes neatly, and how to make sure that everything is tight and does not leak.




So, now we are even more ready and “beyond being prepared” than ever and neither radiators, showers, bathtubs, toilets nor washhand basins or kitchen sinks will put us off any longer… (not that they ever had)
