Sorry its my mistake...I thought I had posted this on living france seems it went astray and went to the womens institute instead... What really happened was my bank told me my funds that were tied up long term would be released on the 1st Aug when in fact they cocked up and it will not be released until 1st Sept...Not infact my cock up... While you women were nagging the world with what other people should and should not do...I found a job for the builders and then they are coming back here and then after they finish here they are going on to another job that came up due to my hard work in getting this sorted...My builders are very happy, very nice and human. Why cant people just answer the question... surely some of you need to find a hobby or something... living in france didnt quite work for you cos you brought so much of your British angst and noseyness with you... My only saving grace was that Val 2 didnt come on and tell me how hard it is to get work and make ends meet legally in france... for those who have been nice...thank you. A8... worried about some members on this forum.

A bit embarrassing but....................... Due to some restaints from my bank I am going to have to stop the work at my house for a while which means i am going to tell the builders they are to stop until further notice... they are good builders and they will be a bit pee'd off when I tell them as they are booked with me for another two to three months...so if anyone wants a couple of great builders that dont yet know they are available now...I can strongly recomend them and so can a lot of other people... I cant advertise on here so any interested parties please PM me and I will pass on the details. Dept 24 and close by. Heres hoping I can soften the blow.... A8

Just heard of another electrician who is under investigation... he has also been caught burying dominoes in walls and running diagonal conduits in the wall.... Once again the consuel is involved and he is being sued to correct the work and no doubt is looking foward to a hefty fine of some sort... Where are the good guys these days... it seems that the bad guys are getting all the work and really making a name for themselves... why?...whats the point? If you are getting paid to do it...why not do it well...? rob ( glad to not be in the building trade )

Hello...I am new here but have been in france for 12 years now... My neighbours had the same thing happen to them just 2 years ago.. the electrician got caught burying dominoes behind plasterboard walls... He reported the electrician to the consuel and they took him to court to get him to fix everything which was then examined thouroughly. The consuel also fined him E6500 for incompetence and he very nearly got struck off the electricians register....  apparently these days with all the new rules around the consuel are even tougher. Hope this helps someone all the best Rob
