Title: Alarming builders
Post by: STMO123 on 13 March 2007, 21:32:01
Just got back from school and a visit from a chubb alarm engineer ( sorry Mark, technician). When I left earlier today there was a PIR hanging down from the ceiling where the builders had moved it. "That needs to go back" I said. "No worries, I'll do it before I leave" said Bob the builder.
Got a call from the caretaker saying the alarm wouldn't set. Drove down, straight to the PIR, and he had fixed it. With a f*cking big screw. Straight through the front, through the PCB and out the back.

idiot.

At least he went to the effort of using a screw and not a nail ;)

The sad thing is....I wasn't shocked, upset or anything really, just mildly amused. That is the way of things today. School will pay...it's only public money :(

As any good joiner will tell you .... You put a screw in with a hammer - the slot is for taking the screw out!  :y
