    Our fire extinguishers got replaced yesterday and the dude who replaced them replaced them with longer and thinner ones. The extinguisher in the kitchen lives just above and next to the kitchen drawers. Any guesses why this is a problem?

          That’s not on him. That’s on the owner/agent. If the job request doesn’t mention the laundry extinguisher, how is he meant to know it’s there?

      Can you move the mount up a bit? Can you get the agent to move the mount up a bit? Can you leave the extinguisher on the floor because if there’s a decent fire, get down low and gogogo, will lead you to find the extinguisher on the way out.

        Stop being logical. I’m just here to dog on tradespeople with the IQ of a misshapen door knob.

          Oh, you think the tradie didn’t notice the drawer issue? That’s cute. Of course he noticed. But by ‘accidentally’ doing precisely what the job sheet asked for (replacing the extinguisher and nothing more), he gets called back a second time. $$$

      Not quite the same, but I’ve got a wok burner that would set fire to the top cupboards if you actually used it

        ha just wait til you hear the smoke alarms and see the evacuation lights. I genbuinely can not communicate how loud the smoke alarms are. The best way I can describe them is that they’re so loud you can hear the air. Like on top of the high pitched squealey beeping they are so loud they cause the air inside to rumble. I’m surprised they don’t shatter a window

        Me? $0.00

        Someone? Probably many hundreds of dollars. Wouldn’t surprise me if they paid almost a grand for it. As soon as tradies hear “government job” the prices have a funny tendency of quadrupling
