(sorry it’s sideways but you get the idea) Gotta love the cretins I bought that place from!!!! Blimey. That is terrible. Just out of interest what sort of survey did youhave done? That should have been picked up surely. (BTW love the Stig vid. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 i take it you are getting that sorted asap Yeah well we can fix the leak fairly quickly (just the seal around the bath by the looks of it) but where we are going to take a proper feed from is another question. Have to find one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BTW love the Stig vid. ) Don't be silly survey people aren't allowed to touch or move anything, therefore they would never have seen that.

Shadow Beast Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 on a serious note, you need to follow that up, that is one of the most dangerous things i have seen, i am a sparky all be it a tadge out of practise, some heads need to roll on that one, if you can find out who installed it i suggest you take it further, we are talking risk to life here!! not a funny joke.

Supragal Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 I can't believe no-one has said "That's shocking" yet! Shadow Beast- how could we ever ever prove who fitted it? It would be impossible. I know that the dyke who lived there before me and her dad performed some wonderous bodges, and they fitted the power shower so it was them, or their responsibilty, but it could never be proven. *edit* for some reason that sounds like I'm being rude to you, it's not meant to sound like that! At least we found it. Just wish we hadn't been using it for 2.5 years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Beast Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 fair one, i take it then there has been a few other misshaps around the house? it just pisses me off when i see stuff like that, i know people like to tackle diy jobs but that to me could of cost lives, not funny, i take it you are not going to use it now and turn it off where ever it is connected to hope fully there will be a spur near it that you can isolate it by hope to god they have not just wired it to the nearest socket! (prob have though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
