Description
My Mum has been going through an incredibly difficult time lately, and the last thing she needed was a "professional" plumber making life harder. After a botched job left her toilet unusable, I decided to step in and fix it myself.
In this video, I walk through exactly what went wrong, the mess the plumber left behind, and how I managed to repair the damage. Whether you're here for the DIY plumbing tips or just to see a son/daughter looking out for their grieving mum, I hope this helps you if you're ever in a similar situation.
