Worst day of my Life!

[Welshsparky]

Apprentice dropped his hammer straight onto a toilet cistern lid, A very decorative one at that! 6 hours searching for a replacement and no joy ! i am close to tears, anybody else had the same misfortune and know were to look?

Don't know where to look but i feel for you !
It has happened twice to us before , once when the apprentice stood on one to get to a fuse board and once on a brand new bathroom refurb when yet again the apprentice decided to sit down on the closed ( literally just fitted ) ornate wooded seat with a set of cutters in his back pocket , that one was a +£300 touch !!!

I once dropped my hammer through glass topped halogen hob costing £400
Feel better now ? :-D

An insurance company I dealt with some years ago would not replace full bathroom suites and would only replace damaged parts from a company that specialized in supplying them.

I do not have the companies name , but here is a link to a similar supplier.

No actual damage, but hellishly expensive to put right.

We’d taken the top off a 1.8MVA 11/3.3KV transformer to repair the tap changer. Everyone is covered in oil so as a precaution all tools had a lanyard tied to them. As we are finishing there were just two of us working on the tap changer. I’m leaning over the tank and my glasses slipped off my nose, fell in to the oil and slid down the side of the windings.
All the cores and windings had to be lifted out of the tank to get them back.

I was about as popular as a pork pie at a bar mitzvah.

Give your apprentice a rubber malet, and some logic between the ears

This is more or less why I refuse to take on an apprentice. It just seems like I'd be opening myself up to a world if s**t for very little gain.
