      It wasn’t a bad one , I just lay there for a bit because I was so fed up plus it’s very difficult getting up once in down 😔.
      My pre op runs out next week so not looking good . The strikes have put things right back 🥺🧱👍🏽

      It does make sense to not just jump straight up but assess how you are first.
      I had a stepladder break under me and I fell onto my back a few months ago - I was fine but lying there for a couple of minutes to check that everything still worked and get my breath back helped I'm sure.
      I do hope you get your op soon.
      All the best.

    Support the pipe fitting with a second pipe grips to prevent overstraining the supply pipe which could easily fracture (copper age hardens) and leak and then you’d be is mess! Over tightening the end cap can lead to distorting the rubber disc seal which will then leak.

    Steve, you don't need any of us to tell you what we think of you and Al. Just look at the number of subscribers to your channel - tells you all you need to know mate. Get your hip sorted, spend the winter convalescing and supervising/advising Al, and come back next year as a new man. What sort of 'New Man' we can only imagine! Keep safe, the pair of you.
