Dingle's decadent dining thread

The overflow's gone, just working on draining the sump.


Not that it's any of your business.

Draining a sump isn't usually difficult, but it does depend on your specific setup. Here are the key factors that affect the process:


For a standard sump pump system:
- If you have a functioning sump pump, it's simply a matter of ensuring the discharge line is properly connected and the pump is operational
- Most pumps activate automatically when water reaches a certain level, but many have manual override options


For manual draining without a pump:
- You might need to use a wet/dry vacuum, bucket, or other manual method
- This can be more time-consuming and physically demanding


Challenges that might complicate the process:
- Large volume of water
- Lack of nearby drainage point
- Sediment or debris in the sump pit
- Electrical issues if using a pump
- Inadequate discharge hose length


Do you have a sump pump installed, or are you draining it manually? And is this a one-time drain or addressing an ongoing issue?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Well, you're the forum's leading authority on blocked bogs, I guess.

As this thread seems to be in danger of going 'off topic' I thought I'd try to rescue it with one last attempt at a decadent meal, which will hopefully not attract comparisons of my face with a dog's arse.

For my last meal in Korat we had... ribeye steak and chips!

With another glass of real red wine.



Some more nice pairings...

Steak and a fried egg
Chips and a fried egg
Garlic and bread...
Peas and ... anything at all!



I don't know what the steak police will think, but there were two clean plates in the Mendip household!



This was all finished off by a Korat Chef Strawberry Cheesecake in bed, shared with Maya! I think that nothing says 'it's time to get back to work' more than developing a habit of eating desserts in bed with your dog. It makes a hell of a mess.

I need to get things back on track.
