what a joke

[domestic spark]

done a job today, all chased in flush and looked nice, big gaps to keep tiler happy between spurs and sockets, customer turned around and said, she didnt like the fan, dw, w.machine, f/f spurs where they were. (at worktop height) and could i put them above cupboards once kitchen is finished. of course i gave her a million of reasons of why this was not possibe.

she came out with alsorts, can you hide them in units etc etc.

this is the thanks we get these days, you do get a few dont you, silly people. any thoughts anyone just chit chat really feel free to post!

I put the spurs all in an accessible space grouped together, normally high level (low enough to reach) adjacent to the work top. Have tried a bank of grid switches wired with a 4mm supply but gets messy, am going to do my kitchen this year and see if pre-wiring in tri-rated makes things easier.

I always get the client to approve accessory locations before we install them , once bitten!

council tennant! standard height doesnt have a choice. im affraid! grid switch no no.

 

[keefy]

Why no no on grid switch?

But if a council tenant tell them to shut up as they are not paying for it, especially if on social.

Harsh.

I would imagine for the price your getting paid to fit them , I would not even bother talking to her. Its not her money and its not her house.

But if she was paying, this situation crops up a lot. Its a good idea to make sure the customer knows exactly "what where how and why"

whats wrong living in a council housing?

 

[keefy]

Nothing, but when the tenant starts to question what you are doing, try to get more out of the job than you are getting paid for and make the job more stressful I have little patience. I love the ones that make you a cup of tea, allow you to get on with it and are grateful for the work.

It was not a 'social' comment, more a lack of sympathy for the ones that think the world owes them a millionaires lifestyle.

Sorry if I offended.
