Marvo that is a thing of beauty mate. The installer must be so proud

Makes me wonder when these bozo's step back and cast an eye over the fruits of their labours....what the hell goes through their minds?

Here's one more of a commercial lighting installation in a very high end restaurant, also done to the same irreproachable standards and codes.

See it says 2006, please tell me it has stopped and burnt out by now.

Lol, we ripped the entire system out and reinstalled from scratch on just about all these jobs. The pictures were taken for inclusion in the quotes to give the customer an idea what they have and why they might want to pay us to replace or repair it.

 

[needasparks]

And they needed your photo's to point that out ?

 

[Marvo]

You'd be surprised, most of the time this kind of kak is above ceilings or in places they don't see it. They're usually blissfully unaware and we get a call after three or four other cowboys have taken money off them and failed to fix the problem.
