This reminds me of a 'do' I had with an a#rse hole persistently blocking of my late mums drive in the summer.
He was one of the 'I am right , you are wrong , end off !! brigade.
Big mistake winding me up , I will leave it a bit longer ,but it have already decided that his condensate pipe might block up.

If he has a bucket and a tap then he has a working toilet. Tell him if he wants sympathy then its between **** and syphilis in the dictionary. I have no time for people like that.

The husband told you nothing wrong with silicone sticking a cistern to the wall? A tiny blob of silicone at top of cistern probably fine, but not a lot. You should have told him that's a brilliant idea - no movement for the cistern when the pan starts trying to pull away when the floor moves a little - especially new screed or any wooden floors. Then the cistern someday splits wide open & floods his house. He's an idiot & I would remind him if he didn't get his wages he also wouldn't like it.
just get two cars(vans, skips and pallets of bricks will also do) park them 4" away from the front and rear of his car and go on holiday for a week or two.

Expanding foam up the exhaust pipe using an extension so it is far enough up the pipe not to be seen from the outside. At least when the garage does eventually find it it will be a new pipe as well.
As predictable as the sun rising this one is. Got an email back from them tonight. Despite us having 2 appointments to agree the exact design in detail and it being detailed on the quote as a follows: -
Replace existing bath with new bath supplied by us.
New bath to be installed with front edge in same position as existing bath.
Gap round back and left hand side of bath to be boxed and tiled.
Tiled removable bath panel to be installed on front of bath.
Bearing in mind we have a text from the customer the evening she got home to see the bath installation which reads: -
"Hi Keiran. Will ring you once Dave's (husband) been home. I love it. Like a hotel bathroom. Thanks so much. Speak soon."
The gap was caused by them buying an odd sized 1730x700mm B&Q bath and putting it in an alcove. We fitted a 1650x700 bath and fitted horizontal tiles and trim around the back and opposite side from the shower to fill the gaps. The customer is now complaining that the trim holds a bit of water after showering and they want us to remove the tiles/trim and raise the tiles up to sit level with the top of the trim. I don't think they understand entirely how tile trim works, i.e. it covers the cut edges. I've suggested using a squeegee like most of our customers do in shower areas.
I've told them if they believe this is a genuine cause for complaint that we should get an independent chartered surveyor in to assess our installation as I do not believe they are being reasonable any more. We will then make good any issues they pick up on. Other than that we still expect to be paid within 4 days or we will send out a letter before action. Does that sound reasonable? We are currently owed £964.32p .

why didnt you get a 1700 x 700mm bath?
I would approach this a lot differently but then I am a mug and would get walked over like a dirty old rug left out in the garden!!
My advice is go and see him, chat about the issue and explain why it is like this!! usually helps for me!!

Luckily due to my size I rarely get none payers or people mouthing off, but the couple of times they have, like when I've been attacked by social housing custards, I have smacked them up without thinking about it. I have no time and a severe lack of patience, I'm not really a people person. I think I'm in the wrong game 🙂
