now thats not fair..... we have had many ideas.... including gravy!
true, we dont know what exactly it is, but thats part of the fun.
I once worked with two brothers that were plasterers. One like the odd drink... at 2 in the afternoon.... the other liked to smoke something funny........ one could mix the muck perfectly, the other could apply it to the wall just as well.... both under the influence of their respected vices....
I have never seen a smoother wall.
This made me chuckle, because I have a similar anecdote with a very different outcome ?
I once turned up to do an EICR to be met with a crazy joiner I had come across years ago on a site.
He told me that he was an old friend of the family that I was doing the job for, and if there were any remedial works following the EICR, he would be carrying them out as a favour to the family to save them money.
I told him that after I had completed the test and issued the report, that unless it was me or another competent electrician who can issue the correct installation certificates for the completed remedial works, I wouldn’t be willing to return and sign off a satisfactory EICR.
He took a little bit of offence at that, informing me that he had been ‘Doing electrics for years’ And knows exactly what he’s doing.
I did the test on the Friday, and on the Saturday night I got a phone call from the client asking if I noticed anything about the Joiner’s behaviour that was untoward..
I said that he was a bit random and loved the sound of his own voice when it came to blowing his own trumpet in regards to his abilities, yet didn’t really do much in relation to fitting the kitchen, which he was supposed to be doing ?
Turned out, the client had randomly shown up at the house with her dad on the Saturday morning at 10am, and the Joiner was in there, with an EMPTY bottle of red wine on the worktop, and there was another bottle half empty by his tool bag…
Out the back in the recycling, there were another two empty bottles ??
Needless to say, he didn’t finish that kitchen, OR carry out the required remedial works ?
