No problems Paul.
Funny thing was I checked that there was nothing there. The pipe further down the units was much closer to the building. Some drunk put the thing in and it was at an angle to the building. Added to that I took the crow bar from a friend of mine who dropped it off and is notorious for his uncanny ability to find water pipes, telstra cables, sewer pipes (I helped him fix that; phew), stormwater pipes and electrical cables. Believe me he has hit them all several times. So I think it was his hoodoo that transferred straight to me; not long after that I did my back.
I should have known that I needed to ground out the crow bar first so that the hoodoo did not transfer to me. It was the very first time in years of building that I had hit a waterpipe. So felt like a complete goose as I went and told all my neighbours that the water was off. Most laughed knowing that I am involved in the building industry and thought that it was a great joke.
Anyway, I have painted the pier today with the first two coats, and will finish with the last two tomorrow. I will take some snaps for you all and show you the painted version tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
