Remarks about the translation
My guess is that the original text goes like this: "Grundet udskifting af faldstammer i kælder må De ikke bruge bad, wc, vask og køkkenvask. Arbejdet forventes færdigt kl 1600
mvh blikkenslageren"

Hi Ian,

Webster´s dictionary says that a "faldstamme" = draft tube, draught tube, soil pipe, soil stack.
(In a plumbing system, it´s the drainage pipe that carries or is designed to carry human excrement)

faldstamme means "main sewer pipe". The collector pipe for the entire building / house. I'm 100 % sure, because designing HVAC and sewerage for houses is what I do for a living

lepurica: In Danish, it is in the plural (faldstammer) so do you think it should be kept in the plural in English as well (main sewer pipes)?

yeap, you are right. I just gave the definition for "faldstamme"... But thanks for mentioning it, it is absolutely correct.

why did you (I didn´t see who it was) change "kind regards" to "regards"? "med venlig hilsen" = with kind regards (that would be the direct translation)

Yup, I am the guilty party!

With such a short note from the plumber, we usually wouldn't use the word "kind" here: it would be insincere anyway...

But if you prefer the direct translation, I can put it back in for you!

Anyway, the text meaning is perfect, so I'll validate it now! Thanks everybody!
