Did he hear what you were saying?

I told him to his face

 

[Andy78]

You should have asked him if he minded signing the danger notification

Can you see his tails going into the wall. they enter the rear of a meterbox the other side.

He has run a 16mm2 4core swa from this meterbox into a schneider 3ph DB at the other end in an office.

The swa was taken from the meterbox, through the cavity and out through a hole smashed in the external wall, then cable tied to a redundant 4mm2 swa cable for half it's run then just lay on the ground the other half.

just hope he's got a couple l/insurance if that goes up ,stand out side and watch it burn .you get what you pay for .

Turning up to "look" a month after the call isn't going to assist you ......

I'm busy but I go and look within a few days .......... unless the customer wants the job done next week!

Normally I would have gone sooner, but a new arrival in the family has made it quite difficult.

when a customer say can you do it in a couple of week ,my reply is ,yeah couple of weeks do you next year .

 

[Ib≤In≤Iz]

Yes he tried that one. I'm booked up until august anyway so not that desperate. I was more concerned with the dangerous work that had been carried out.

It's funny you say that, he did the same. His brother or something has a property business and could get me work if the price is right bla bla bla. The amount of times I've heard that haha.

 

[buzzlightyear]

I could wright a book on some customers ,when they ring up ,you fitted a chandelier about 30 years ago ,could you do it for the same price .I forgot ,did you pay me with five magic beans .

It is astonishing what you can actually get away with! And even more astonishing what energy suppliers will fit a meter to! I could have saved my self so much trouble if only I could force myself to do that kind of work and walk away, heaven forbid!

 

[buzzlightyear]

It is astonishing what you can actually get away with

looks like they have ,what's the betting a foreign worker .

 

[The Ghost]

Yeh it sure does look like they have and I am flabbergasted, I would have thought the customer would have looked and said "He should have gone to specsavers" or something. I am just mystified as to how you can do work like that and get paid!
