Working in a place like that a the mo, standards go out the window. The customer has been clearing the house for the last 2 weeks to allow us to rewire it!!!!. Could have put a fill level on the downstairs toilet window.

i have done my fair share of rewires in Itchy and Scratchy houses. you know when they are mucky as the brick dust sticks to the grease

Kitchen rewire and the bedroom above had the full wall of cages with 23 pet rats in them and the 18 year old let them run around the room.

The carpet stank of rats ----s and she slept in the same room! She let 3 of the bloody things out whilst I had the floor boards up and gave me a dirty look when one of her favorite pets went for a walk.

That was the fastest I've ever laid cables.



I've also done odd bits and bats in local take aways. Never eaten from them since unless I was drunk. Let's face it we do a job were we do get dirty but its bad when you finish and all you can think off is jumping in the shower

We have the contract with the council for the public toilets - so wish we didn't!

Another reason IM glad I do 95% commercial but had work in a couple of properties belonging to a big client told gaffer that I would be refusing if any were as bad as the 3 from 4 I did ffs nearly refused to go in 1 @ the door coz the wummin was a pure nutter she went ballistic when I said I would have to turn power off to change a socket to RCD ( way round no rcd on sockets for this client fit RCD socket @ back n front door ) you would have thought I had suggested she give me a ;lap dance ffs general Public cheese me off more than "handymen"

One rented bungalow we used to regularly get fault finding jobs in was the worst,piled high with crap and the most minging 'family' you've ever seen. On the last visit to find a fault there was one room you couldnt get in,it was possible to open the door enough to peer round but that was it,the room was almost full to the ceiling with debris....as the door was the only entrance we concluded they must have piled the stuff in through the window!
There was rat sh*t in the kitchen and the fault was traced to rat chewed cables dropping through a hole in the floor under the cooker....needless to say their kind offer of a cuppa was politely declined.
The best was still to come,some weeks later the landlord called to say the rcd was tripping again and could we please go?...It seems he had had to clear it with the occupiers as they had complained after our last visit that we had left a mess and hadnt put things back as found!.....We didnt go back.

Funny thing, the first company I worked for had it’s own sewage system and plant. You could go in to any of the pump rooms and not notice any smell at all.

The only problem we ever had while I was there was a 2” pipe from one plant blocked. The pump house was directly opposite the compressor house, so in a fit of pure genius they put an air connection on the end of the pipe to blow the s**t through.
Just a pity someone pressed the general e-stop on the plant, all the compressors stopped the air header vented and s**t shot back to fill the header. Come start up the s**t was pushed in to the receivers then in to the air driers. After that it got in to the instrument air system. The plant ground to a halt, stank to high heaven.

I was in the planning office at the time, I had to phone the manufacturers of the air driers for more desiccant. “Yes sir we sell it in 2Kg top up bags, how many do you want?” 400Kg “What! What’s happened?” Enjoyed telling them what had happened, the guy on the end of the phone was howling with laughter.

LOL I'm just imagining the conversation between the tenant and the landlord:
"The electricians left a terrible mess, you should see it"
Landlord arrives
"Christ on a bike! They have left a mess haven't they!?"

Clearing out a flat last wednesday evening that a friend of my boss was renting out, decided to show the lads some brute strength by lifting old sofa above my head..... only to have a greasy tube of KY and an old condom fall out onto me!
