plumbing arg!

Still struggling with the plasterboard in the kitchen, having found that the drywall electrical boxes wouldn't fit on the plasterboard with the OSB behind it, so I then had to remove the plasterboard (again) and chisel out 'wings' in the OSB to allow the clips to sit behind the plasterboard.

I then had the spigots for the water pipe to solder the elbows and joints onto, this itself was difficult in keeping the pipe flush to the wall I had to put the solder joint tight up against the
plasterboard. I then realised that I hadn't allowed enough space between the pipes to allow the flared fitting of the appliance hose, thus I had to rotate the hot water fitting away to run horizontally (I'd originally wanted them both to hang vertically). Now they fouled the waste pipe for the appliances. I gave up and went to bed at that point.
