I had the loft reinsulated yesterday(cant diy it meself due to health).
this morning I gets a bath, gets out the bath grabs the large(brand spanking new),towel hanging behind the door and finds three decent size blood stains on it. One of loft Insulators must have cut themselves and used the sodden towel instead of the toilet rolls. Grrrrrr! -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

Take the towel to the offices and ask them what they are going to do
about it. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Dingley saying something like: On Thu, 19 Jan 2006 13:31:43 GMT, "The3rd Earl Of Derby" wrote: One of loft Insulators must have cut themselves and used the sodden towel instead of the toilet rolls.

Grrrrrr! -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite If brand-spanking new, how come ur towel was sodden? They should have asked u first if they may visit the bathroom. Only one wounded culprit, I'll warrant. After all, they were only supposed to be in the loft via its hatch and ladder (whose?) and using linking passageways from outside door. (During their worktime, you may have given them carte blanche to visit the WC.) If usage not sanctioned, you ought to demand replacement or compensation from their foreman or manager...or did you appoint the insulation gang yourself? Er, where do you stand contents insurance-wise, all risks? Or alternatively, will the liability be honoured by the workers' general insurance policy? BTW, when were you knighted? Did those workers know you are "titled"? Plain Jim (I don't use Mister, never ever seen it included on a tombstone.) |

You can even do the inside of the roof this way, a bit like the foam stuff you can spray on. After all, nothing sticks like s**t! MBQ |

I'd be very wary of coming into contact with anothers body fluids. You can very easily catch some nasty diseases that way. Report it to the company, in writing, cc'd to the MD. Telling them that you are going to deduct the cost of new towel from their bill. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

And look very carefully around the house for other bloodstains first; the OP might get a new hall or bathroom carpet out of it. Owain I thought about that alas none stained which I find a bit odd, wonder if I can sue for new loft insulation. ;-) -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |
