Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.

Westy, thanks for the explanation...I get it now. How, err, mm...ingenious to fit a pullcord that way.
Littlespark, have to agree re big 45A DP in a cupboard...much easier, to fit and maintain.

Sticky backed trunking became unsticky?
For the price some hairdressers charge, they could have stretched the budget to a few rawlplugs and screws

It's hard to tell from the photo but the run is not at all straight. It's not so much a case of it becoming unstuck as it had never been stuck down in the first place. The SWA would have looked much better neatly clipped instead. I have spent approx 30hrs fixing various aspects of the carppy work done there so far, and could easily spend another 30hrs.

Oh, and it's not the hairdressers at fault here, it's a combination of the landlord and the people renting out the adjacent unit which this SWA supplies...

Serious question NDG...would that cable run over exit route and require steel clips/wall-dogs rather than rawlplugs?

Yeah it does pirate hence why I mentioned fire clips. And it's across the only escape route..

Hmmm...don't people THINK?
How difficult is it to do a job to be proud of?
A tiny bit more effort than a bodge.
and lives at risk...

Yeah you know that, and I know that mate, but the idiot that did this place obviously didn't care. The list of remedial works needed for what is a brand new install was astonishing. There are still aspects that need attention.
The landlord of this place and the other unit upstairs tried persuading me to sign them both off. I only swear in front of customers once in a blue moon, but on this occasion I swore a lot! It was one of those where you as you are working away making safe various bits of the work, you are tutting away to yourself thinking I want to speak to the idiot that did this to get an explanation!!

Jeez! That's awful...a nylon scrubber thingy and floral tiles in the border???
It would make you want to stick your fingers in that socket!

(Socket??? Was that actually a socket???...Jeez!!!)

BTW, to the left of the boiler...what's behind that access panel?

"Use my sponge.."
" I will watch you"

what?

think I'm gonna steal your sponge?


and I'm lactose intolerant!

(Not really, just said that for effect!)

Bit like my mania for taking a pic of myself with every kettle I see...
Doctor says I have selfie-steam issues...

Like when I threw a can of Bostik in the bin, die to my gluetin intolerance...

Time for me to head to my hammock...Jabber says I have been overdoing it recently...whatever "it" is...but I always trust his judgement...
he's a parrot, after all
