Rain stopped play again today, but at least I got the returns in. I managed to get 1 return slightly lower than the other 1 by drilling at an angle and and bending the return pipe with a bit of heat before going through the sleeper. Got a couple more sleepers up, and ran out of screws. Be going to screw-fix tomorrow to re-stock up on screws to carry on, hope the weather breaks so I can get things on the move again.

Nice one Steve, not the easiest thing to drill through when wet, here's hoping for better weather for all of us, though that looks very unlikely for the coming week

Cheers dbs, I couldn't be bothered to use a hole cutter as you have to keep stopping and chisel out bit by bit, so I used an expanding bit, much quicker. Still took a while to go though 190mm through. Need to pressure test the returns asap to make sure there's no leaks now.
Yeah your right mate, the wet weather looks like It's here for a while, well at least a week.

Got a lot done today between me and me youngest, not got to much to do now regarding the build, happy days . I'll get some more painting done tomorrow if the weathers OK.
