I Would Never...

Gday All,

 

Just wanting to see some interesting stories about what people have done that they would never do again.

Fishing related or not im sure there are some stories out there.

 

I personally would NEVER use (PM me for the name) again.

I recently started the process of renovating my bathroom/laundry and everything ran smoothly except for the tiling.

I am a Carpenter by trade (shopfitting) and have gained a pretty keen eye for detail.

I had left for work on the morning the tiles were getting layed and came back in the afternoon to see what would have to be one of the worst tiling jobs I have ever seen.

The grouting was pathetic, and the mitre cuts were all over the place. I didnt kick up  a fuss but asked the tilers to come back and fix the job, at which they had no problem in doing (they probably new it was a shit job.)

The shower screen was yet to be installed so I was very very nervous at finding out wether or not the water would run the right way. I had installed a frameless showere that has a gap under the door. I was reasured by the tilers that no water would exit the shower. A week later when the screen was installed, the first thing i did was turn on the shower about 30%. My worst nightmare had began. The water flowed straight out of the door and pooled NEXT to the bathroom waste. with out actually going down. At that point I was pretty pissed off.

It took 1 week to contact the tiler and 1 week of negotiation before they again came out to look at the job they had farked up. They have partially fixed the fall in the tiles but I have told them where to go and am going to sort it out myself.

To cut a long story short, I personally would NEVER USE (PM me again) again.

 

Regards james

Tilers at my house didn't use

A waterproof sealant - corner cutters - cut a long story short it was covered by HIA Insurance - $37.5K later and on the fourth rip up the last set of tiles have been down now for a couple of years with no dramatic issue like there was before. Reno dust from removal of the tiles each time was just about enough to do your head in !

I would never ............. dress as freddy kruger again!

I will explain, Had a work related" horror" fancy dress  party to go to, and as I already

had a striped jumper , thought old freddy would be a good look, but at the last minute didnt have shoes to suit

so I borrowed a ill fitting pair of a mate.

The party was progressing nicely , till after just a few lemonades ( not heaps) I rolled my right ankle on a step

and fractured it in three places .8 screws , 1 plate , 2 weeks in plaster then 8 weeks in a fibre cast followed,

and to finish off weeks and weeks of painful pyso.  FREDDYS CURSE?
