Just wondering how much I should keep aside for this kind of stuff. The damn pipe for the water to golf course ran across the middle of our back area !!! We had to divert it for pool. On the plans it showed it as a sewerage pipe But - we knew it was the excess water pipe. Luckily. The fibre optic conduit was so hard to find - they'd done the "tunnel/hole" - but no pipe to be seen. We had to dig down - to find the "tunnel" - and then run a new pipe across - under the road ! Then re-dig the one to our house. The top of the box where it all meets looks like a normal water metre box. Then, the underground water tank was right in the middle of our driveway. Builder didn't want to do driveway then. We convinced him to, and you barely notice the lid now - and its probably a good spot for it. You see lids in roads all the time - but I guess they need to be careful in a driveway. Best thing about the tank - the pressure is awesome. We have town water of course - but just average pressure. The tank hose fires from one side of the block to the other Its all fun. Re: What pipe is this? 12Jun 19, 2016 10:28 am Looks like a dual check valve and line strainer for mains water. Shouldnt be a problem to move it but I would be a little worried about how much they want to charge you My build with FHBD viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78344 yep sounds good make the footing bigger to to allow for the pipe in the middle 3 7386 Plumbers 'can be' plumbers, made all the worse by self certification which the building surveyor invariably accepts as proof of compliance! The good thing is that you know know. 3 4957 I think you are getting different numbers because they all just based them on "other jobs" even though each job is unique. Often, with builders, unless you're speaking to… 3 3290 |
