[buzzlightyear]

my pet hate pulling floor boards up ,tell client dont go near those floor boards cause you might fall down them ,so next minute customer just about fell in , mrs customer please stick to one room only . trying to pull cables through ,with out dragging them has well .
and now you have pet in the mix has well ,ok where is the cat .
FFS the cat down the hole has well ,I start telling the customer try a get the cat out of the hole before I drill the floor boards down ,and why your at it looking for your cat under there ,you may has well stay down there has well.

Should have scrunched up some newspaper and placed it in the back boxes, school boy error.

What’s a newspaper - www what?
Have to use a Screwfix catalogue that every customer has on their kitchen table! just use the electrical pages!

It is something they hand out on the tube for free to pass the time away........

Plumbers or DIY bodgers who run pipes resting hard on plasterboard ceilings..
Drilling some downlights holes once for a kitchen and saw I had just nicked a plastic outlet pipe below bathroom floor. Being a responsible sort of person i thought i know, I'll cut it thru and fit a glued union coupler to it.. half way thru cut (re member I'm underneath it) ello what's all this brown stuff seeping out? Anyway sawed it right thru and got covered in ----!! Was only a maserator pipe wadnt it :-( don't know who wad more embarrassed me or the client.. anyway, the phrase "A real ---- job" never had more meaning!!

Still a pain to find though if no cables showing... @telectrix good idea!

Use a hammer to find them, that normally gets the message across to the plasterer
