Just been reading some DIY disasters and was reminded of a call out I had a while ago; Turned up at a fellas house to investigate a report of a strong smell of gas coming from the landing area. The fella was ranting and raving about how some of our lads had recently fitted a couple of wall heaters and told me they were proper cowboys and needed sacking for leaving a gas leak .
Upon completion of my search for the bodge up caused by our lads I discovered it hadn't been our "cowboys" after all, but the householder himself.
He had only been putting down some nice new carpet tiles on the landing with 2" NAILS and sent two of them through a 22mm GAS PIPE under the boards!! I gave a tut tut and asked him where HIS horse was!!
