I would risk it in the UK but not here, Copper plumbing is also easy (and to me preferable to any plastic) but everything is proprietary here, the swiss are very clever at protecting their tradesmen as many who have purchased in Germany have found out.

Can you not use push-fit plastic?  My plumber made all my bathroom and
kitchen changes using it and I'd do it myself now I've seen how quick and
easy it is.

Thanks for looking,

Bob, it was an early shot with the boat - so I was lucky to catch some
morning mist

Philippe,

These are all BW from the Fuji XT-1 and my normal workflow is to import to
LR adjust histogram with high and low sliders and then open in silverefex 2
scroll down through the presets and choose the one that looks best to my
eye, which is usually the first one that looks right, I may continue on but
I usually go back to my first choice. Sometimes I play with the sliders but
(unlike Bob) I normally leave them alone.

Thanks for the offer re DIY but we are stuck at the plumbing stage and
unfortunately here they no longer use copper pipes and soldered joints
(which I could do myself) but stainless steel and crimped joints and I
can't seem to find out where to buy the joints so we will need to get a
"proper" plumber in, so we are saving up for that.

BTW as a Welsh supporter  I will be optimistically supporting France
"Allez le Bleus" this weekend

Cheers Ian

Hi All,
I am slowly going through the photos I have taken, here are a few I
thought worth sharing with the list, the first image was taken on the Great
Orme and we find the rock very much looks like a bear from this angle, the
boat is on the lake at Llanberis and the rest are images of Snowdonia. This
holiday we left the dog with a friend which meant we could manage a few
long day trips - for the rest of the images  we rode the train to the
summit and then walked back down to Llanberis which took about 4.5 hours
with a picnic stop. The visibility was abnormally fantastic.

For those not on facebook, Cai recently turned 10 and I wrote a reply to
a newspaper article that was written when he came home as an infant which I
posted here - Please excuse any grammar and spelling mistakes (as always it
was written in a rush) although I will correct them if pointed out. It's
probably best to read the article (translated from German) first, it starts
about halfway down the page.

You'd be wrong to give either as your presence here is much appreciated
on all counts.
The BW series is fantastic, you do have an eye for landscape and geometry
young man :-)
BTW, are there straight BW jpegs from a fuji?

As to Cai, I probably got on board the list after the paper article was
published. But I remember the first pictures I viewed, and I'm happy to see
the little one is growing fast and good, and to read that the family can
adapt and meet the daily challenges.

OTT, I'm neither good at nor so fond of DIYing. Yet, should you need a
hand some day to carry on with the works, just let me know and I'll try my
best to make self available and helpful.

Grüsse
Philippe in neighbouring Alsace today
