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?
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.
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. $$$
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
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

Early nominee for the ‘Not my job mate’ award for 2024
He didn’t even know we had a 2nd fire extinguisher in the laundry. that one was due for replacement 2 years ago
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?

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

Dude. He replaced the entire mount plate with a new one which he mounted lower down…
The obvious old screw holes might be a tiny clue
Yeah…
there is no spoon
No spoon for you!
A fire extinguisher in the kitchen! Fancy plus!!!

Not quite the same, but I’ve got a wok burner that would set fire to the top cupboards if you actually used it
I use my wok burner outside like my Viet friends told me to.
Not portable in this case. I do have a movable induction one from IKEA : house stove deemed unsafe and it took forever to get landlord to replace.
Mine is a cast iron thing plugged into a gas bottle.
What did that cost you?
Me? $0.00
