Default Re: Geez! I hate that!

plumbers here are good, the one I use is a great bloke, after hours, no extra cost, not a problem unless he's had a couple of beers......

sparkies and their offsiders I've got to watch like hawk's, especially if my shed is open, or I leave my tool bag unattended, the buggers grab my gear for a job then put it in the ute with theirs at pack up time....they tried to take my brand new makita 18v driver just a while ago.

they charged me for 30 mrs of 6mm cable plus conduit and breakers and earth leakage detectors........for a start the trench was only 20 odd feet (I should know, I dug the bloody thing) and I already had the breakers in place and the flexible conduit I know they got from the local supplier as a "run out" gift, cost them nothing.

I'm just getting a bit jack of it all, I do all the hard work and they come in and still charge like wounded bull's.

this lot should be finished today, then I got another extension to do so I'll go to the next sparkie in the phone book to see if he is any better for that one.

may your day's be filled with smiles, your life be filled with love, may your children know nothing but happiness and joy, cherish the memory of those who strove before us for they cleared the way, spare a thought for those who serve we owe so much to so many, life and the freedom to enjoy it is a special gift that can be taken away far too soon!
