    Any "concealed carry" flashlights need to be surrendered at the entrance to the property together with measuring tape and hidden ladders. A laser level or level bar is likewise prohibited. You may not use a thermal camera or any device that could uncover hidden defects. Obviously this is all done for protection and safety 🤪

    My Father did a seven year apprenticeship. He’s currently 76 and is now doing soft jobs for his age. He has said, that a tradesman worth is his salt., would ensure his name would not be in disrepute after the job was done. In other words, leave the job properly executed to perfection. He is a tradesman. How I long for that standard in Australia.

    Hi I'm a HC Truck driver from Sydney Australia and I really enjoy your videos. The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) has a 1.6 star rating on Google. That is to be expected because I recently watched one of your videos of a Lady that paid over 40k for a completely defective job, also got the VBA involved and nothing was done about it.

  • @fletcher932

    @fletcher932

    8 ай бұрын

    Why was $40k handed over for a completely defective job? Wouldnt the logical thing to do be to have pointed out the parts of the job that are sub par, in writing? And to have with held progress ma payment until rectified? I understand not everyone is a building inspector or doesn't have in-depth construction knowledge but at some point people need to take some responsibility. Crying victim and expecting an under funded government department to sort out incompetent scamming contractors (that the customer chose to engage) and customers that are dumb as dog shit is deluded.

    Because the site manager was completely right. He did not have the right ladder for the job nor any fall prevention measures. Even when he got on the step ladder to try measure gutter fall with his level he was breaching safe work practice by climbing his step ladder to high. Being called out for "non compliant" job safety, who is the fool?

    LOL, I thought you were talking about a welding torch or some kind of torch that heats with a flame. Figured that’s why he didn’t want to allow it. You were talking about a flashlight. 🤣🤣🤣

    What's there to be nervous about? Do a proper job and you'll have no worries. In my field we get random audits and compliance work checks all the time to the point we don't even think about it. Christ if Joe Public sees something that might look odd even if it's fine they can ring Energy Safe and have them on our backs to check up on possible issue.

    Everything is done to spec, unless you inspect it. Schrödinger's quality.
