Years ago, many years ago, I had just re-floored my kitchen floor with chipboard, then we had a new cooker delivered and while they were putting it in, I was proudly jumping up and down on my new floor in some vain attempt to impress them.
Crack! I'm through the floor up to my shoulders. Took two of them to drag me out. It hurts!

Oh it gets better but at this moment in time my phone (picture taking storage facility) is having an argument with my laptop so I cant post any more pics, sorry. I'll sort it out and come back to it.

That house has more than a hint of DIY about it. Are you sure the mess made of the floorboards was the plumber? If it were just messy floorboards (the cardboard is pushing it a bit IMO) then maybe, but factor in the socket and the skirting boards...
