Stavross 16,751 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Nightmare today, another lad put the main power ducting in at the school on Saturday, he rang me and said the sparks can’t get the cable through and he can’t go, so would I go. Got there, tried to put the cobra through from both ends and it got stuck in two different places, paving back up and he’d crushed the pipe when backfilling, repaired and cable in, then they said they need another data cable in across the gate, so I did that as well, I wonder who’s paying me for this and to top it off I snapped my best spade 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
