FUCK THAT!!!!!!!
tell the cunts that they can fix it properly for free, or you're going to go postal on their arses.
Jumping power from a wall socket is a hell moari job. They already stung you hard, tell them go fuck. plus the fabriacted quote thingee.
tell them they can fix it for free, or else feel your wrath. I wouldn't take that shit from them.

wow bart!!! i know if i ever have shit job done i'll get ya to sort them out

I'm so with Bart on this one, but hey suppose at least they are fixing it.

I know exactly what you guys mean about telling them to get fucked but I reckon $225 is worth it to get the shit sorted without future aggro


I was fairly distracted at work for 3 or 4 hours today and if I had to go through that regularly till they sorted it, I would scream.. The way I look at it I just paid $225 to extend my life by 2.25 days - worth it by heaps....

Yeah fair call on that one, I prob would have backed down and done the same

I rang a sparky mate tonight, (especially to discuss this) He said it's quite common place to jump the power off a wall point. I once asked him to jump power off a lightswitch to put in a new wall point. and he was like "Nah, that's uncool". I spose that a light circuit wiring can carry less current than a wall point.

thats right bart.
lighting cables are run in smaller sized cable

im glad you have reached a compromise, I maybe would have tried to play hard-ball on the cost, but I guess at the end of the day, they are correct in the fact it would have cost more to put it round the corner, materials wise.

Just headbutt someone. Thats how things get settled down here.
