  • When we had plumbers in installing central heating they found that the wall which they planned to put the boiler on is hardly attached to the rest of the house and you could wobble it a few cm with a little push, then that afternoon we had a ceiling collapse and water running running down the wall.

    The thing I hate most about having people in is finding they've started doing something differently to how you expected and asking them to redo it differently. I guess if you have some practice at managing building works you know what needs defined at the start and it's a case of working to that all the way through
