I'm not in the business of pipe repairs nor home repairs and just like to try and fix things myself.
After retrieving jewellery out of the bathroom p pipe I noticed the black rubber seals were very worn so a visit to the local plumber supply shop was in order. It was like walking into a mans world as guys behind the counter and male customers except for me.
The shop front is small and there is a big supply in the warehouse out the back. I had to wait for service and took a bar stool seat. The man behind the counter politely said "shouldn't be too long" and he wasn't.
When I showed him my worn rings he initially said he didn't have them in stock and the other staff member disagreed and pointed to the supply on the wall.
Home in 5 minutes and my new rings installed. Good to know I have a local store. read more
