The world is full of idiots trust me!

This has reminded me of a job I did a few years back, I was fitting a bathroom and the waste run had to go through part of the hallway. It was an old Voctorian mansion building in Brighton, which would have been one house at one point, so I lift the floor boards in the hall to find not one but two treasures. All of the original beautiful brass stair rods where piled up under the floor, I removed these to find underneath the earliest form of electrical trunking i've ever come across. The trunking was wooden but the lid to the trunking wasn't just some bit of planed wood it had intricate carvings running the length of it, bearing in mind this is installed under the floor which nobody is every going to see! they don't make them like they use to.

Beautiful job Lynn, plonkers is all i can say/

Lynn, that's fine work there that your company did. Normally, I would never try to take advantage of another contractor's problems and would/will do the work at a reasonable price because I know I might need a favor someday.

But with these knuckleheads and their attitude-I'd make them feel like Ned Beatty and I'd hammer them hard with the bill. Paid in full, well in advance. And I'd get to it on my own sweet schedule.

I take it you're refering to Deliverance, Rob? :dizzy2:

Sandy---yes, Deliverance. For those of us that are old enough to remember the movie, the "Ned Beatty" thing is enough to make someone :yikes:

Lynn I am not surprised you were mad. I hate other trades not respecting our work. I hope you nailed their cap on, maybe they will take more care next time.:mad2::ban:
