Please Read - Help a Bear Out

[Clemdog 39,389]

As some may have seen in the previous thread our own poster @rabc10000 has had a torrid time since his youngest daughter Toni was diagnosed with ALL blood cancer.

Rab, in my words, has been let down by the Council. They left his bathroom in no fit state and refuse to fit a bathroom suitable for Toni. 

Please find a letter written by a Social Worker from the hospital Toni has been admitted to. Please donate what you can.

I'm actually a spark mate, is your bathroom flooding and flowing down from above into the kitchen? 

If so, go to your consumer unit and confirm that both lighting circuits and the kitchen and cooker breakers are off. 

You should be able to get your sockets in the living room/bedroom/hall switched on to get some plug in lamps on.

Already done that and have them back in. 

I'm actually becoming an expert nowadays isolating the dif fuses now😊

Its a bit of a piss take and luckily my son was still awake. He came down saying he heard a loud pop in the bathroom and sound like someone was running a tap full blast. Thankfully was only maybe 3 or 4 mins max before I turned the main water off. Didn't stop it flood g the kitchen and bathroom tho

Well done mate, also just to add, if the leak was under your bath, you should have no problem getting the upper floor main lighting breaker back on if you haven't already done that.   👍

I think the pipe that's burst is the one behind the wall that runs up the wall from downstairs if that makes sense

Should be fine if it's just a riser, as long as the burst pipe wasn't in the loft, the upper floor lighting loop should be good to go.

There will likely be 2 lighting breakers in your consumer unit, one for ground floor and one for upper floor. 

Ground floor breaker will probably trip instantly if you reset it but upper floor should be ok to reset and will at least let you survey the scene mate.

No hesitation. Thoughts are with you and the kids Rab. You shouldn't be getting treated like this man. 

[My Fathers Scarf 1,144]
