In the S**T !!


Well this week has been rather eventful so far. On Monday we discovered frozen waste pipes which go from our living accommodation down to the sewage treatment works. This involved Myself assisting Steve our base plumber in thoring out the pipes and then washing them through.
Being brought up on a dairy farm this job wasn't as unbearable as it may have been to others on base, however still not that pleasant!!
With temperatures of -18 and with a windchill of -30 the pipes were freezing just as fast as we could thor them out. But we eventually managed and the system was working again by Wednesday evening.
