Blind Man!!!!

[enduro]

I did a repair job several months ago and i forgot about these photos so i thought i would show everybody. Got a message on my mobile from a customer in a right panic telling me she has had trouble with a blind man in here kitchen and could i get over their straight away....Umm i thought what could a blind man do in here kitchen....Knock something over maybe and she wants her floor cleaned... Anyway i get to the house and the customer shows me what the blind man has done.....The guy was fitting a blind to her kitchen door.... Not a blind man !!! Anyway when he had finished she asked if he could fit a rubber door stop to the floor for her, no problem he said.... Well he managed to drill through 20mm limestone straight through the screed and straight through the wet underfloor heating pipe

Ouch what a silly boy. And he's run on sods law which states that if it can go wrong it will go wrong.... Problem with plastic pipes is that you cant detect em!

But what were the chances of him hitting the pipe slap bang in the middle...

Almost zero. But with Sods law...... He never stood a chance!

Whats the chances of that! hitting the pipe spot on.

he tried to cheat and drill into grout joint cheaters never win

[doug boardley]

was he aware they were there tho'?

[enduro]

Not sure Doug, but surely you dont need to drill 100mm to fix a door stop!! any repair work or drilling i do on a floor ''has it got ufh'' is the first question i ask.

This is always a worry are there not some meters that can detect plastic pipes?

Man walks in - Mmm nice boobs where do you want the blind ...

You'd have thought the house owner would have said "no, don't drill in that it has water underfloor heating!"

What's the fix now then?

[hillhead]

oh dear !!!!! as the saying goes "sh*t happens"

[whitebeam]

He got that spot on, deserves a pat on the back

This job was completed a few months ago, and the plumber who installed the ufh came and done the repair using manufacturers repair kit, i had to remove limestone floor, dig out screed and find the pipe and reinstate the floor once repair was completed, so all working fine now.
