Things do go wrong in our game, mistakes caused by rushing or if you are in bad mood or lacking concentration or if you have new staff not familiar with how things should be, I am going to show things that Cost myself money and pride. Worst one, I was doing a small refurb job, a bit of render and plastering for a new extension, up on a ladder using a screw gun,I accidently hit the drill knocking it against a glass door, that door cost £1200 for new glass,came out of my price, the builder or architect claimed to have no insurance.. double glazed door with internal blind, hurts to think about it. another job, private job ,doing it on the cheap, sadly the floor covering was not adequate and dirty water leaked through the carpet,cost £120 to clean.lesson learned there. another one happened to my pal, his idiot of a labourer was throwing dirty water down the bath while they were doing a loft skim out, bath blocked.usual rows and screaming, labourer said I can sort it, he took the panel off and undid the trap, cleaned the crap from it etc then the 'classic' he ran the water to rinse out the trap without a stopper in place, the client had come home and water was running through her down lighters in the front room..Murders as you could imagine.
I am fully insured now and had been most of my working years but sometimes you let it run out when funds are low..Please learn rather than suffer. Private jobs need to be more expensive than site jobs as things are more likely to get costly..
