I am trying to find out who did it,,,but the current owner seems reluctant to take it further. X(

apparently got a really good deal :^O :^O:^O

he is now fuming and is wanting blood !!!!!!

finish the job wednesday,,,,get paid friday...but i dont think ill hear the end of it :_| :_|

 
Theo:

I`d try to explain to the customer that this work is SO dangerous, that these people are going to kill someone, sooner or later. I wouldn`t want that on my conscience.

Maybe call your scam provider, and see if they`d be interested in copies of the photos? We could do with some way to publicise the (lack of) quality of workmanship; and maybe give our trade a better name than it has.

I`ve been considering this for a while. We ALL see carp workmanship every once in a while; but not usually so dangerous as Theo`s examples. I`ve taken up with the NIC, the idea of getting the worst examples of this type of thing in a leaftet, or suchlike, that we can get out to the general public!

 
it could be an idea then for Admin to have a new sub section called

cowboys and how to spot them

Can I just say, thank god this is being sorted out, I dread to think of the possibilities. :eek:

Whilst we are on the subject of dodgy workmanship, did anyone see that prog where an english "builder" & a polish ex chocolate salesman turned "builder were followed round with a camera crew?

They were both terrible & the english "builder" used a stihl saw to cut through a pipe that had a HV line inside it.

For the most of this prog my mouth was like:O

Had a doozy myself yesterday, customer said burning smell everytime she used dishwasher, went round, pulled out DW only to find a spurred socket that her ex husband put in. Nothing wrong with a spur I know, but the wire that he used for the spur.................... Sat coaxial.

I **** you not. :_|

So I put it all right & charged her
