The work carried out on a service installation by the DIYer in their
own
home isn't
perfectly done. The house is then sold on, but still has the defect
in
the
work
carried out by the last DIY owner. The new occupier is lying in bed
one
night and
suddenly BLAM !!! the cooker pipework, or the shower wiring have
burst
into
flames due
to the defect left by the last owner.

Who's at fault ? The new occupier because he didn't check everything
?
But he works
as an accountant and doesn't know anything about DIY at all.

As an accountant he'll know all about overcharging and putting the
fear of
God into people about the consequences of d-i-y. As Mary and others
have
said your BLAM!!! incidents are far more likely to be the result of
greedy
tradesmen being in too much of a hurry.
Woman over the road literally had a ceiling fall on her head after a
plumber
forgot to connect a fitting in the bathroom. He did buy her a bunch of
flowers though.

Aww - that was kind.

Mary


If a tradesperson tried to palm me off with a bunch of flowers to cover
the cost of damage
they caused, I'd ram them up their ass.....uming they would offer me
flowers in the first
place.

I might consider placing them on his grave.

Mary
