bugsy

Had a call to quote for a PIR on Saturday @ 10pm asking if I could do it that night , well it's my misses birthday and were in Whitsateble so I told the guy Id phone him Sunday afternoon, had three calls on Sunday morning ( which I did'nt answer , same guy wanting urgent PIR)
I phoned him Sunday 5pm and he was in real panic about getting this PIR on a property he had rented out so I arranged an appointment for Monday and he gave me the tanants number. I contacted the tennant to confirm appointment .
All became clear when I arrived , the tennant had received an electric shock from a screw on the kitchen plate switch which took him off his feet and put him out for two hours, he was found by his wife and rushed to hospital ( an old metal clad box plastic plate fixed by two wood screws one of which had peirced a cable further inspection unearthed 2.5 running under the carpet feeding a broken double socket , all metal light fittings - no cpc, a radial with 5 dsso stuufed into a ring ocpd (32a) showers wired in 2.5mm

Phoned the landlord and told him needed rewiring, smoke alarms and CM alarm,
he tried to tell he did;nt need the smokes or CM alarm so dont price for and just make the other stuff good are could I hide it

Im still fuming , I m gonna calm down before I phone him - Oh and the tennant has an eight year old little girl.
 
Im gonna name this house CHRISTINE,

Got the job got the deposit, started yesyerday , it's a cpmplete *******, fluffy insulation in the loft ( full of crap ) anyway running cable for F/L Ltg put my hand into the furry stuff to pull a cable and got thrown against the water tank , some silly sod ha joined the shower feef with a cooker connection unit , no box no cover w^^k^^

An extra £1000 for danger money me thinks.
 
careful bugsy, we don't want you hospitalised, least until you've been paid for the job. LOL.
 
i would just like to point out that not all landlords are like this,my missus is a landlady to that guy off the quiz show the chase and we have never thought of putting his life at risk lol
