In my continuous improvement drive to save costs & be more efficient in every part of my life(I now import coke directly from Bolivia), I decided to take advantage of the swap over to freeview & cancel my Virgin subscription.
So I bought the new telly, freeview boxes etc but didn't have an aerial fitted at the house. So the missus got a fella in to give a quote.
£225 to put up a new aerial & run a cable upstairs, through the lounge and a connecting cable to the kids lounge as well as remove existing cables left over.
So I spoke to him a few hours ago and agreed with him that no new holes were required, that he would remove and use the existing cable and drill no more holes. I was quite explicit that I wanted to re-use the existing holes.
No problems.
Just a had a phone call from the missus. He said one of the holes wasn't big enough and needed to drill below it. In doing so he's drilled through a water pipe in the cavity!
Water turned off. Now waiting for a plumber.
