… but it seemed straightforward!
I thought I had everything under control.
Little did I know, a seemingly harmless screw in the middle of a bathroom fixture would teach me a valuable lesson
Let me explain:
I was cleaning the family bathroom. The girls frequently used the shower over the bath, so the plughole had become tarnished and stubborn to clean.
I thought that if I could soak it for a while, that would help.
So I unscrewed it and took it downstairs to find a container to soak it in.
“What have you done!” exclaimed my husband.
“You’ve just dismantled the drain and we’ll never make it watertight again. A leak could bring the ceiling down!”
How was I to know – there was a screw so obviously you could remove it. 🤔
Fortunately, luck was on my side that day.
After meticulously cleaning the plughole, I managed to fix it back into place, ensuring it was tightly screwed in.
After putting the plug in, I turned on the tap and watched for any sign of a leak. Nothing.
I left the water in the bath for an hour – no leaks.
I then emptied the bath – no leaks.
As the ultimate test, I entrusted my daughter with a shower.
NO LEAKS! Phew.
I admit my knowledge of plumbing is small, so I should have asked my husband, who had skilfully tackled all the plumbing during our bungalow-to-house conversion.
We can’t be good at everything.
But here’s the thing – I am good at being the Marketing Expert, in fact, I’m excellent.
My clients have enough to do in running their business, so asking me when it comes to their marketing and advertising compliance makes sense.
They know asking for expert help can save time, money and a lot of stress.
