Life's a bitch!

So, the misses has been waiting 15 years for me to sort the bathroom out

Managed to buy a new bathroom back end of December
Bought the flooring tiles in January
Bought a shower in February, then money fell short
Borrowed some money off the in laws to finish, and the plumber was in today to finish off
Came in:
Finished sink
Sealed most of bathroom
Fitted heated towel radiator
Fitted bath panel
Grouted wall tiles

Had two jobs left: fit shower screen, and grout floor
He half fitted glass shower screen, and had to nip out to his van, so I went in to clean up
Don't remember touching it, but next thing, shower screen came smashing down, and damaged sink
Screen is £150, don;t know how much for sink, and plumber wants another £50 to fit a new sink
Ran out of money, so god knows when it's going to be done

Had two cans of carlsberg, then downed a bottle of red wine, and now on third can of carlsberg to numb the pain

who fitted the screen ? is it not their fault it came crashing down ?

would be billing them, or not paying them for the job they done now.

Thats a proper sh1tter that Plod, drink, sulk and then chin up and carry on, life would be boring if it all went to plan

[plod]

Disco
Aye, the alcohol, is easing the pain, and i'm a bit happier about it now

If I never had gone in there, and it had come down, then yes, I would of insisted he paid for the damage, but because I was in there, I think I cooked my goose so to speak



Going to ask in the place I bought the bathroom from, if they'll look after me and do me a good deal

[lozz]

Iagree with gary,
if the work man hadnt secured it in place and hadnt warned you Its His Fault not yours!
did he warn you not to go Near it ?
if not id tell him to sort it at his Cost, its his fault not yours,

have you paid him for the work hes carried out ?
if not Refuse to pay him until his Dodgy work his Rectified,
hes lucky no children or other pearson was injured a work man shouid never leave any thing like that unatended,
id ask why he hadnt removed the screen before leaving it in a unsafe Manner,

Stand your ground and tell him hes in the wrong!

I agree with lozz.

"Trading standards" is a powerful phrase as well.
