Sorry to hear of the issues with that channel and hope you are / will be ok. That little Sanitas around the 8min mark is so cute! And the loo at the end was immense! Look forward to you having it installed.

Thanks mate, it’s been a pretty long winded up and down thing which before this shed was built it almost ended up as the end for my KZbin channel, just need to forget about it now as it’s just doing my head in now, the whole reason behind selling off quite a few toilets from my collection, oh well it’s paved the way for some real awesome Victorian ones, Thanks!! That was my first Victorian toilet that was added to my collection, And yeah that’s gonna be big once I get it fitted!

When I read your description I really felt it, alot..... been in similar situations but sometimes it's best to try and move forward, was really odd seeing him just vanish his videos and collection was amazing, in fact I would never have stumbled opon this community had I not found his channel back in the day but life goes on I guess. Amazing collection btw keep up the good work👌

Yeah mate that’s what I’m doing, that’s why My channel and collection has changed so drastically in the last year, it really had to, To make it great again and I’ve got even better things coming if it all works out which I’m confident it will, Thanks mate!

Now that pan at the end is an absolute gem, can only imagine something similar was with that Norwich Service box high level cistern I restored from many years ago. An epic video as always, all WCs working brilliantly. Surprisingly, the one thing i'd like to have the most for collection purposes is a Shires Rubberwell and a 1970s Royal Doulton Ashdown pan with a big long 30s lead side wall flush pipe and get it set it up just like my toilet I had pre May 2005. Do you have any old Croydon float valves to set up in your collection?
@sparkyfireworks2 жыл бұрын
Thanks!! It’s certainly a very unique piece, just gotta design and make a rim spreader for it, Ohh really that’s cool, maybe you could get those one day and no I don’t have much on the fittings side yet all though I’m hoping to find and fit some more older valves to the japkaps at least at some point,
@castironcisterns2 жыл бұрын
@@sparkyfireworks Indeed, yes actually the first things i look for in salvage yards at the moment are Croydon valves but somehow evaded them entirely since finding the XL Burlington cistern close to home in 2020. Seen plenty of M.O.H Portsmouth valves though. Luckily, I do think one of the salvage yards near me have a Royal Doulton Ashdown at the moment, so will buy it along with a very special eye catching cistern there too that needs alot of restoration.

And yeah, could never have something like that in my houses as I haven't the room. Maybe when I get my own place hopefully in the not to distant future I could collect a few toilets but I'm not a very practical person so putting them together and assembling them would be a challenge.

I do apologise for get involved before even watching the video, but it maybe best not to call his boyfriend an ugly potato head if you want to get back in contact with him even as a friend while he's seeing these videos. Yes it is a bit unusual with the gap but to R453 he's still his partner. He's ghosted all of us, and may only be watching your videos to make sure you're not sharing personal life :( I know, rejection hurts and especially losing a close friend, loads of people have been there. It's best to look forward & to move on with your new partner. Don't let R453 get in the way if this new partner is meant to be. Anyway, time to watch your video :D
