meadowfield 1,900 #1 Posted May 23, 2017 We are almost two years into our current house and loving the yorkshire dales. We live fairly off grid, only mains electric and rudimentary telephony. I finally added a water filter to our supply the other month. and changed the filter after 3 weeks!!! we've been drinking this stuff god only knows what it does to the insides of pipes, etc. All has been well for a for weeks until we noticed a very wet spot outside, and the ground is cracked all around. Cue, starts looking for unknown pipe... found it! after lots of bailing water, we find an old 1-1/14" compression joint that has corroded away. it was late saturday afternoon, so we had no choice but to borrow a fitting from the sheep feeder up the lane - sorry sheep! Another maintenance job complete 3 Alan, Stormin and Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 400 #2 Posted May 23, 2017 The joys of country living. In the 80s two neighbours and I shared a 30+ year old alkathene water main along side our quarter mile track . It would spring a leak every three months or so. Eventually we bit the bullet and laid a new one. Wont mention the shared septic tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
