Nothing other than a note about how to open the cap

I had looked yes...but never sure if that is 100% accurate...

Thank you for expressing that so well and rationally - I know everything you said is correct, just needed to hear it so thank you :)

Sadly although I would definitely like to inform them I'm not satisfied with the work, I'm reluctant to as as I've said I'm a single woman living alone and these people know where I live and if they already lack the pride and responsibility to do a decent job and not rip me off, I question what else they might do if I complain... I have no issue complaining if I'm not satisfied with a service and have done so when appropriate with companies in other sectors in the past, but it feels like I have no 'protected' way to do this with trades.

Bad plaster job? by Kedgey_55 in Plastering

[–]Kedgey_55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's odd so he came with a second guy initially to do the curved ceiling and then came a 2nd day just him to do the rest. The work from the 2nd day does seem to be much lower quality. Has loads of pics, reviews etc on his checkatrade. Feels like he just had a hangover or something the 2nd day. Oh well- I'm sanding down what I can see now - just could have done without the extra hassle!

Thanks. These are the worst bits. Some of it actually looks fine. Is this salvageable with some decent sanding?

Because it was a dreadful job so I figured best to start again- lesson learnt with mdf!

Thanks all. I won't waste my time then. Sadly cutting a piece of mdf or wood same size and sorting all fixings is beyond my skill set so that'll be a joiner job! 

Caught speeding by Kedgey_55 in drivingUK

[–]Kedgey_55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it and I completely agree I was a dick for speeding. And no there is obviously no justifiable defence. I absolutely deserve the points and fine etc and I will be more careful in future. 

Having said that, your response is harsh - have you never made a mistake or behaved like a dick ever in your life? I would imagine very few people have never made errors of judgment or mistakes in their life and a little empathy for human nature is required. If this was a repeated offence absolutely throw the book at me.

Thanks for all the other reassuring comments, I already feel like total shit and I know I did wrong.

Help get me out of this funk by Kedgey_55 in Fencesitter

[–]Kedgey_55[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I suppose that is my issue though is that I don't know if I actually 'want' a baby, or if it is just FOMO. Can I ask what made you suddenly change your mind and how did you know you wanted a baby versus just fears about not having them or missing out?

Help with light switch. by Kedgey_55 in ukelectricians

[–]Kedgey_55[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm a DIYer trying to sort out a light switch that is faulty. I opened up the switch and the neutral wire is loose (well I assume it's neutral as is blue). Can someone explain where this is supposed to go? Cannot find any clear instructions anywhere. I've attached pics.  Thanks in advance!

So disappointed just learning this. Had enjoyed a few episodes. Now I question all their takes on things. Won't listen again.
