 Had a better energy day yesterday. But not before surfacing another wonderful bit of shitty work.

During the heating install they managed to break my waste water pipe.

Yet another fuckup.

I didn't have the energy to sort it yesterday - I took a look at it, figured out what had happened, some options of what I needed to do about it - I decided not to get yet another fucking tradesman in, and then collapsed back into a rest state.

Today I have undertaken a fix. Possibly temporary. I have glued the pipe back with proper PVC pipe glue which I had kicking around from an earlier project that I never ended up using. The fix is working fine. But. It's not ideal. What I should do is cut the pipe out and replace a whole bunch of external pipe work. The problem with this is that this is the most effort and most faff. And where the pipe is, or rather, the consequences of the break et al make it... awkward. If the break was in a different place, a cut out and pipe replace would be a lot easier. As it is. Meh. A second reasonable fix would be to put a flex joint on it. But. Also more of a faff.

So. First solution was glue. See how it goes. Keep an eye on it.

But it has been yet more energy burn and bullshit that I can't afford. Today just getting down to the floor to fix it was very painful. The old associated all over pains have been screeching. And having to move around in awkward situations with them today just set them off. I could hardly get back up again from the floor because of the pain.

But eh.

It's done.

Needless to say. This has done nothing to alter my misanthropic fuck everyone mindset. I'm still there.

I still have a list of things I need to do from the recent work being done. At the moment I just seem to be going backwards. Hopefully. At this point. There will be no more reveals of fucked things I need to fix.
