Someone browsing on here might discover it is.

Bet their only having a new kitchen to avoid cleaning the old one.

Reminds me of a survey I had to do on some council houses that the company I was working for at the time were tendering for the rewires

One house always sticks in my mind very clearly some 30 or so years on, the stench as the door opened was unbelievable I explained to the guy answering the door what I was doing and he invited me in thinking he was going to get his house refurbed by the council the owner had dogs that just pee'd and dumped anywhere they liked the carpet in the hallway was very squelchy under foot, the kitchen had a pile of dirty dishes piled in the corner to the ceiling that looked like some sort of jenga puzzle and no surface looked like it had never been wiped down in god knows how long. It was difficult to understand how people could live in this squalor with young kids didn't bother looking at the upstairs as I just wanted to get out

I trust you wiped your feet, on the way out!

Many years ago in a different life as Police Officer in a town not far from the Wrekin, I attended an address where the owner had reported a break in, poshish area, nice cars on the drive, good looking well dressed young lady in doorway (no, not that type) so I'm on my best behaviour. When I entered the house there was a smell the you couldn't forget, sh-t. As I went upstairs I saw that the top half of a bedroom door had been ripped off, I thought the baddies had crapped everywhere and damaged the house. Wrong!!!!!. I looked over the top of the broken door to see the whole room was full of soiled/unwashed clothes to the level of the break in the door, this was where the smell was coming from. Lesson learnt, never judge a book by it's cover.

Wow. Pretty bad. Like Ungs story.

when I was 17 I used to help deliver white goods in and around Spalding and the fens, we went to one house once and it was how UNG described, I could not tell what, if at all there was one, what the pattern of the carpet or even the colour was. I had to kneel at one point (it was a TV delivery with a 50 pence meter attached!) and I wished I hadn't....

Meh...you lot have never lived ffs. During my apprenticeship one of the areas they rotated us lads through was the rewire squad. You haven't lived until you accidently kick over 2 week + **** in the room you are going to be working in.
Also one house guy lying drunk in bed....wife saying just move the bed he'll not get up.....lads duly moved bed to corner of room....bloke does not wake up. Then there is the kitchens with 2in thick grease on the walls/worktops/floors.......No idea why I took the industrial route after those pleasant experiences.

I had to fault find in this dump the other week, I can't believe some people live like it. Smashed windows, weeds growing through top bedroom window, massive holes in the roof with daylight coming through, red and green mould on coving in the bathroom, black mould everywhere else, brown carpet that's supposed to be red. House looked like it hadn't been touched for years with no money spent on it at all but they both had nearly brand new cars on the drive.

 

[telectrix]

how was australia?

 

[Leesparkykent]

I don't know why they loaded upside down.

Ah thats nothing , I ran a site in Chiswick replacing Risers back in the 80s and 2 home help girls went into a flat that we were to go to , they came out and were sick on the landing and told us that the place stunk and that there were loads of cats , some where dead , the lads did not want to go in there no matter what I offered them , we ended up doing and external temporary external to that flat ,, another one I worked in I was drilling the wall in the kitchen and I was pushing myself backwards with all the grease on the floor...

I would not disclose the private life and standards of a paying client

If I were happy to do work for the money they are paying me,as part of that contract, the clients assumed trust is in in me to not make public their private lifestyle (whether it suits my standards or not)




11-12 !

Nice, wipe your feet on the way out.

 

[UNG]

I trust you wiped your feet, on the way out!

On the wet grass in the garden and then a good spray with some anti bacterial stuff back at the van

Good job I wasn't the client I would have booted you off site as you where there to do the electrical work not go round taking pictures like David Bailey.

 

[UNG]

The pictures were obviously taken as part of his risk assessment:biggrin::biggrin:
