The Plot Thickens

Today, Dan made a hole in the floor through the concrete in the corner of the lounge.


Yesterday, he had all the carpets up on the landing upstairs and put in a plastic pipe (as well as some copper ones). Yes, these two things are related, and may also be linked to the road closure scheduled for this Sunday. The first correct guess (from anyone who I haven't already told what's going on) as to what's happening will receive no prizes at all.

That picture of Dan looks like an illustration in a workplace safety manual - the 'not like this' pic. ;)

But the pipes... well, you already have gas... and water.. and three pipes is a puzzler. I'm off to mull this one over.

Lou, you are barking up the wrong tree. The copper pipes in the picture are central heating pipes and are in this case acting merely as a decoy. The ones Dan put in are not visible here but will attach to the plastic one. Any the wiser? Oh, and there is no mains gas in Culmstock.

Ah, you red-herringed me by saying you put in plastic as well as copper. Swine!
Ok, so it's either awesome cabling for super-super-fast broadband, or a aid to the migration path of the Lesser Culmstock Dormouse which needs to pass to your garden unhindered.
Or it's a giant house trombone to make Tibetan horns look puny. Gotcha!

Not just you, I red-herringed the WHOLE WORLD! and... what? Super fast broadband, in CULMSTOCK???? We've only just been connected to the electricity grid! Last week that was, 56 electrocutions in the village and counting.... Keep guessing....
