    cheers John
    it's been a bit tight here and there, due to the size of those pipes, but the drum is nearly piped up should have that done today

    but i'm about as far as i can go with pipework in the filter house....still no shower that i've been waiting 15 weeks for!

    the sleepers have had thier first coat of paint,
    it's still a bit patchy and needs a light sand between coats, but i like the look
    the tops and inside will get a coat of SBR to help stop them soaking up moisture.

    they've said that the shipment has been refused several times due to an incorrect digit on the export paperwork from the manufacturer,
    and EU customs deliberately looking for, and inventing reasons to refuse exports.

    i made the decision on what drum/filter to get in a thread a while ago, based on ease of ordering, local collection, and parts.
    if i could go back now i would not buy from a EU supplying company.
    if it takes 4 months+ to get an order, what is parts availablity going to be like?

    it's too late for me now, should have bought British...caveat emptor....
    but i will make a point of not ordering anything that comes from the EU in future, if it can be helped.
    i'm going to have to make a list of parts for my drum, including screens, motor, gears, sensors, ect... and buy them all up front.
    as potentially waiting for 4 months for parts is just not acceptable....

    Crikey that does sound appalling, I am surprised that you have just not cancelled the order and changed to local, sale of goods act would back you I would think as that is by far not acceptable whether the delay is theirs or not ??

    appalling! yes...but who to be mad at...
    it's all the EU's fault...petty vindictive beauracrats!
    1,2,3,4 I declare a trade war!

    it's still the design of shower and size i want...I won't cut off my nose to spite my face
    plus i'm too far down the line to start looking elsewhere and waiting on a custom order again...
