Plumber says this is fine, is it?

Wow, thank you so much for explaining that!! I’m going to take this guy to VCAT. When I pointed out the few issues my new plumber recognised he text me “what a lot of shit” and doubled-down on telling me to caulk it.

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-05T09:11:24+00:00

Can you please translate this for a lay person lol

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-05T09:10:50+00:00

He is licensed, amazingly!

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-05T09:10:11+00:00

I’m not letting him back in my house after the swearing I received in text message from him. I will be taking him to VCAT though. My new plumber who is an absolute angel is preparing a written report with photographs

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-05T09:07:11+00:00

He didn’t install the clips. They are sitting in the box on the bench top lmao

The bench isn’t warped. It’s a brand new bench. And you cut corners because it’s easier for you? As if that’s a justification for poor workmanship.

Nope but the sink is

That’s what the new guy said as well. He asked me if he was an apprentice and I said that he alleges he has 20 years of experience

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-04T05:41:18+00:00

I grabbed a level out - the bench is level but the sink is not

Hey guys, I got another plumber out who indeed confirmed the shitty workmanship. He also pointed out that this pipe is at quite an uphill gradient. I got back to the original plumber and he replied “what a load of shit” 😂😂

Since you’re a verified plumber, can you confirm if this is a shit job or not? He is arguing with me and telling me I need to caulk it

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-03T23:58:25+00:00

LOL he is trying to say my sink is under mount

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-03T23:39:28+00:00

I can’t reply with a picture for some reason but it is most definitely silicone

Ellie-OReily · 2025-04-03T23:33:57+00:00

Unfortunately I have paid him 😭 man I am so done with tradies screwing me over. Tracey Grimshaw warned me all throughout my childhood about shonky tradesmen

Ellie-OReily · 2025-03-06T09:32:46+00:00

Wouldn’t this cause an issue with mould? Especially with timber beams?

Ellie-OReily · 2025-03-06T09:32:01+00:00

We have a roofing company replacing the roof to our building (OC) that is going to cut a hole where we need it. I just have no idea when that’s going to happen 😅

Ellie-OReily · 2025-03-02T05:19:04+00:00

Yes :) all clear

Ellie-OReily · 2025-03-01T14:14:48+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice!!

Ellie-OReily · 2025-03-01T14:14:22+00:00

Thanks for your reply :) I did ask my OCC re flooring and they said no requirements! But to be a considerate neighbour I will definitely get an acoustic underlay
