PLUG ... my versio of PLUTO

[Julian]

For nearly five years I've been lugging containers of bio from the backgarden to the drive to fill the car.

Whilst relaying a new patio, I've decided to install PLUG (Pipe Line Under the Garden), my version of the WW2 PLUTO (Pipe Line Under The Ocean) ...

Looks good. I've done similar, but it runs along a wall rather than under the garden. Certainly makes life a lot easier!

Is that a urinal?

Won't the soap set hard in the pipe?

And what about a slow accumulation of Glyc drop out blocking over time?

I hope thats a before picture otherwise im slightly underwhelmed!

So cruel...but so funny!

I'd at least lay the pipe in sand, then cover it over with sand. I was on the gangs on the water board for a while, it wasn't uncommon to dig out a leaking pipe, and find a stone had punctured it.
That blue alcethene (spelling?) will also split without any encouragement from a stone. Admittedly, I don't suppose it is that common, we used to see a lot of water pipes.
In your favour, the pipe is not under any pressure, so should be ok. Otherwise ,I'd say run it in a duct. You dont want to have to be hacking concrete or patios up to find a leak.

I reckon it should be PULP, sounds better.

Pipe Line Under the Patio.

I hadn't heard of operation PLUTO before. Just read a bit about and am quite amazed.
I can't imagine this country being able to undertake a task like that today yet they managed it seventy years ago.

Yes.

Won't the soap set hard in the pipe?

No, I don't make soap any more.

And what about a slow accumulation of Glyc drop out blocking over time?

With Heather on the job I doubt it.

I hope thats a before picture otherwise im slightly underwhelmed!

What a tosser, 'corse it's not!  She's chosen stone with a similar cost to Axminster carpet, but I may yet talk her into lovely, plain concrete.

Nice one

No it's not.

No it's not.

Have you got the right thread, this is a serious answer!  It's PE pipe and I was going to surround it with a little sand ... couldn't find anything in building regs about subterranean biodiesel pipes.

Stupid boy .. PULP would be Pipe Under Line Patio!

I can imagine this country being able to do that seventy years ago ... I can't imagine this country doing it so quickly or efficiently, if at all, now.

Weeds mostly at the moment.

[Rotary-Motion]

out the concrete?

[Julian]

out the concrete?

The redish looking strip is a brick edge, the bit behind it it broken concrete waiting to be dug up to pour a foundation for a second, higher brick edge.

[Head Womble]

The mixers going to get another workout then.
