Some of my less pleasant surprises

I found this at a nat'l franchise seafood joint.

Horror house in Bolingbrook

This was the what I walked into. The water wasn't shut off, just too white trashish to flush.

 

[Plumberman]

That pump is fried! Old pee is always fun to smell:laughing:

 

[gear junkie]

Forget the pee. I'm laughing about the Foreman grill next to the tub. Relax for a hot soak and cook some steak at the same time. If they had a refrigerato and a tv in there, there would be no reason to leave the bathroom.

 

[Plumberman]

I personally like the Lysol aersoal can and the cleaner, neither of which has been used in quite sometime.

Habitat for Humanity

I did this house for the local chapter. Never again. They hadn't been there a week when the satelite dish got installed. Hell, I can't afford a satelite.

Telling on myself.

One of my first partners told me, " kid, ya do great work. Not much of it, but what's there is beautiful." That bathroom was disturbing, because there was the man pleasing scent of grilled meat, but with the rank underlay of fetid slothfulness, plus the piss. I didn't know if was hungry or wanted to puke.

:laughing: I feel your pain bro. Try crawling through rotten food and sewer, dodging roaches as big as flip flops and wearing a respirator cause the smell would take your breath away.... ahh good times:thumbup:

What does telescope mean? Has anybody ever been "shotgunned?" That means being laid off over the phone.

I was am confused too

More scary stuff

This was a crawl space.

 

[Plumberman]

Whats up with the mound of spray foam? And the screw pipe into a tap tee?

 

[422 plumber]

I think the foam was an unlicensed hacker's attempt to fix a leaking drum trap.

 

[Plumberman]

Ahh... Looks horrible:laughing:

 

[uaplumber]

Man I hate crawspaces! At least it pays well :whistling2:

We sucked 300 gallons of water and rotten food out of a cs week before last. The whole time I was saying I dont make enough money to do this type of s but when Thursday rolled around I was all smiles:thumbup:

If it looks like a really nasty job I charge more and pass the extra to the guys doing the job. They still gripe about it but I will never send anywhere that I woudn't go myself.

Same here, we had a new hire complaining about how nasty it was. I was neck deep in it as well. After we finished I told him that I would not tell him to jump in it if I never had.

Wish I had you 2 as bosses. I've had a lot of bosses that left work as clean as they came to work.
