Default The **** hole I've just had to work in.

I couldn't beleive my eyes at this house.

The upstairs had 30" holes in the ceiling, all the electric cables showing (no plaster)

And no it wasn't wip they actually lived like this.

I over quoted the job just so I didn't get it because it was disgusting.

removed pics to stop people spitting there dummy out

I am sorry but I think it is disgusting that not have you only posted about someones house but taken photo's and published then on an internet forum, I would guess without the persons permission.

It's ok starting a thread about a house you went to but to post a picture up is a step too far.

I for one would not want you to quote for a job for me espcially if you operate like this, I mean imagine if my windows were dirty and you posted up a picture of my house because I had been kind enough to invite you round to quote for some work.

TBH I hope they see this thread and take further action on you.

All I am saying is the pictures should not be posted, the thread itself is fine but maybe a little unethical.

Looks like a coax to me, I reckon that's antc's budget sky install package, straight through the roof with a 50mm hole cutter and straight through the ceiling.

i got the quote but i suppose you think working inside a house with dog **** in is acceptable.

I hope they do see this and live to a better standard.

I'm not sure, but I think there is a pickled unborn fetus in the fish tank.

Nice edit my point really was being a proffessional person and relying on people using you for work to post pictures of someones house does not install any confidence in you as a trusted person to be visiting houses of potential customers as who knows what you will do to create your next internet forum thread....

I just think it is a little unethical to post pictures of someones elses house no matter what state it is in, a text thread would have usfficed as the point could still have been made.


I myself have visited some shocking places some maybe not even fit for humans to live in but I would never dream of posting a picture on the global internet showing it up.

If you were that bothered about woking in the house you should have just left and apologised and then just posted a thread about it rather than take a couple of photos, and you maybe have more who knows and then posting them up on a public forum for all to see....

Proffessionalism has a line and that has been well and truly crossed imo. I imagine you are self employed also as I am sure if you were not your employer would not be too impressed either.
