Surley must be expensive to stick a room full of tiles on with Silicon?

Some people will try anything to take a shortcut.

I read about one family who bought a house with a utility room.

The looked around the house, like it and had an offer accepted.

When they moved in they came across a note on the tap saying 'Sorry not conneted' The units weren't even screwed to the wall, there were no plumbing connections to the sink whatsoever and the tiles were stuck on with wax!

Obviously someone had the idea to put a show utility room in to sell the house!

Been on a job this week as I went to my van a lady asked for my card and said the guy who was fitting her shower and towel radiator was not doing it right, she later rang me, she'd kicked him off the job, when I went round to look at it, shower tray wrecked by stanley knife and fitted wrong, the towel rad was the worst bodge I'd ever seen, so long as these cowboys are about it will keep us in work.

Years ago when coloured bathroom suites were 'in', some friends when to look at a house which advertised. 'with coloured bathroom suite' only to find it in the dining room still in the boxes!! estate agents poetic licence?
