Ah well PK, at least you only got wet, or rather "Honey" got wet. Would not be the first had you hit the 240V power supply :zap:. 'tis a risky business at times working on the house.
Easy to say now that you could have used a stud / pipe / power line finder first. I have one but it's out there in the shed so I don't always use it. I do though, if I suspect something might be lurking behind the wall.

Oh it's much worse than that! The cornice is missing at that point and you can actually see the pipe running into the top of the wall.... :doh:

:lol:

so your peripheral vision drew you directly to that pipe..... Well done :clap:

Once the cupboard is back up, you might as well put a tap in it now.

I did the same at my sons new house, His girfriend asked me to screw down a couple of floorboards in the spare bedroom, I duly obliged, I put one screw in then it struck me, 'Why were the boards taken up??
I removed the screw I'd gone straight through a 22mm copper pipe that feeds to the radiator, Luckily the system had been emptied as builders were in, Plastering and then decorating, I had to buy a length of 22mm pipe and a couple of straight through Yorkshire joints, Couldn't find my flux so had to buy some, Almost fainted at the price, A tenner for a very small tub :bang: I got home then instantly found my large tin of copaline, I took the new tub back for a refund as i'd not opened it!!

The punctured pipe was made good and all's fine now they're in the house!!
