Bet that made you do a double-take!

The flies and smell were a bit of a giveaway so it wasn't that much of a surprise really. Her bum tore off and remained stuck to the mattress when they lifted her. Glad I didn't see that bit.
 
My mates dad had a partner in his mechanics business.
The partner died at home. He had two big dogs. They ate him. The only bits left were what was in his boots.
 
Sad that someone could lay there that long with no friends or family to care.

The family turned up that very afternoon and were obviously seeing what they could take. Didn't seem in the least upset.
 
One job that sticks in my mind was a house near Swansea, out in the lanes. Was that bad winter in 2010 (I think), a pipe had burst in the ceiling space in the first room in the house. It was a fairly big room, there cages in the corner piled high and I counted 12 cats and gave up. Had to search for a spot of floor that wasn't covered in cat s**t to put my tool box down. The smell was so strong I could taste it. I kept making excuses to go outside because I retching.

I'd repaired the pipe, sent her off to turn the water back on whilst I put my tools back. Didn't even check if it was leaking. She opened the gate at the top of her very steep drive which I had to reverse up and reverse up it I did, at 5000 RPM, I put stunt drivers to shame getting out of that property!

Got out of site, phoned the office and told them under no circumstances will I go back to that property! I had a bad stomach for the rest of the day after that!
