| FFS - If I'd done that as a DIYer I would be disappointed. In fact, I wouldn't let it get that bad

i love the proccesion of perfect diyers that jump on these threads and condemn the work.
i would also love to come to see your jobs and talk through them with you 
hank, truth is that this job is obviously suffering from a lack of a project manager.
if i turned up to a job and no one had a clue who was running the show and they asked me to put some archy up that had a switch in the way, how would i handle it?
i would ask the sparky to remove it, if he wasnt there i would ask the customer. if they faff about i notch it out.
i am not in the business of wiping other peoples arses just because they havnt got and toilet paper.
i sometimes turn up to jobs where the customer has got all his own people in and nothing runs smootha nd no one works together.
the reason for this is because you end up sorting everything out and waiting for people to do things and end up turning up and things not being ready and you loose money.
if the job is as sh*t as that then i can understand people just chucking stuff in a buggering off!
cue the quality surveyers and foremen..........
