Lucky lucky bastard, by Coach on Aug 21, 2009 21:01:30 GMT 1, Went on holiday for a week. Faulty ballcock (wonder what the spell censor will do with that!). Had a build up of water above the lounge ceiling, which has caused the bulge and eventual ceiling damage shown in the pic:
Fortunately, the ceiling came away at the edge of the coving, rather than the edge of the wall, and all the water fell out missing the wall. The carpet was sodden and is ruined. But the wall was missed!!
Hanging on the wall below the bulge were:
All completely untouched. I feel soooo lucky!! 
No amount of insurance would replace the Denning og!
Cheers

Whatever FR - I love those pieces, and was simply chuffed that they were not damaged. Ceilings and carpets are replaceable, as are the prints, but the Denning screaming head is not.
If the pieces dont meet with your approval, why feel the need to comment at all???

Ok, fair enough.
The fireplace is in another room.
I was just pleased that the art was safe - that's all.

Lucky lucky bastard, by Coach on Aug 22, 2009 0:45:01 GMT 1, The 3 pieces were under the bulge in the lounge, now they are in another room (hence they are on the floor, not on the wall) cos I moved them there, in case any more water came down. Simple really.
Can we end this now FR - I only started the thread to say how pleased I was that I had had a leak, but that I was lucky that no art had been damaged, that's all. Starting to wish I hadnt bothered.

Haha - despite what you might think c101, I'm not that stupid! We were away on holiday. No bulge when we left. Burst bulge when we got back. According to the plumber, it's quite common with a faulty ballcock, because when you are at home you are constantly running water off, so the problem only arises when you go away for a while.
You take it easy too buddy.

Lucky lucky bastard, by minutewheel on Aug 22, 2009 21:26:41 GMT 1, Firstly, Coach: I don't want to hear about your bursting bulge as it happens!
Secondly: I reckon you live in a Victorian terrace in Islington - am I right?
Thirdly: Glad you didnt lose any artwork but....
Fourthly: If you did, GREAT because it would only make our collections more valuable!!

Not Victorian, not a terrace, and not in Islington (or Londan at all). Good guess though

Lucky lucky bastard, by spenie1975 on Aug 22, 2009 22:51:56 GMT 1, I think the lesson to learn here is always switch your water off, leave the radio on and have lights are a timer when you go on holiday just in case.
